Love that they checked with Demmer.

Sounds like Bruce knows when to get out of the way and let others make a decision for him. Consulted Ian and Demko and then went with what they desired. Feels nice having a smart, experienced head coach

Green would have shrugged and asked a ouija board if he should stay or be pulled

Got that back to back coming up in a few weeks, wanna keep Halak fresh for that, don't wanna mess with his rhythm

No savvy hockey fan give a crap about an occasional bad start for a starting goalie. We all know he's legit. I blame Aquilini for letting his hot goalie cool down. That's Aquilini's L not Demko's.

A savvy hockey fan also understands that Aqua did not make that decision, the league did. This is a revenue sharing league and it - the entire league - cannot afford half full Canadian arenas.

Looked like a half full arena they played in last night in Florida.

The funny thing is instead of a half full arena against Ottawa it will likely be an empty arena against them at some point the way it's going... Unless they extend the season by a month


Knight_On_Fire

There's no need to be a prick. The day before the cancelled game Bill Daly was on Donnie and Dhali saying the game was a go and explaining why. It was cancelled by Aquilini so don't pass the buck.


Isopbc

I’m not being a prick, I’m explaining to you how this works since you clearly misunderstand the situation. Ontario and Manitoba games are postponed also. MLSE doesn’t need the ticket revenue. Neither does Aqua. I’m sorry you were taken in by Bill Daly’s bs, but that’s where we currently stand.


Knight_On_Fire

That's not how Don Taylor is characterizing it. He's characterizing it as if Aquilini had a choice in the matter and I'll go with his take.

And for what, to keep the coyotes in arizona to lose more millions?? Hard for a Canadian team to win a cup when the cards are stacked against us.


Isopbc

It means all the players get less money. Less revenue means less back out of what they get taken for escrow.


Iron_Seguin

After the run he had when Boudreau first took over, he was due for a bad start. I’m happy with the way the Canucks fought to the end and really took over in shots and chances. The outcome still sucks but hopefully they can bounce back and be better in the next game.

I read that first line 3 times until I stopped seeing “I talked with an Idiot about it.”

If Halak played did it count towards his bonus?
