I can’t believe he was given the contract he was given. I noted wingnut is given a long term deal? What seemed stupid at the time seems ludicrous now.

I always liked tortellini better than tortorella.
But on a serious note, the guy was a terrible hire for the Canucks.
Hopefully linden can get the right people for the Gm and coaching positions.

Why do teams continue to give out these long term contracts? They never work out. Way to flush 8 million down the toilet.

In other news, ticket prices will be going up next year.

I think torts would make a great assistant coach, but was to erratic to be head coach. Maybe Dan will hire him as an assistant coach for the Cougars lol.

I always get teary eyed when I hear about millionaires losing their jobs. How will the family get by?

I can think of 8 million ways.
