I guess we'll never really know.

We do have the opportunity to watch the leaves get eliminated tonight, let's enjoy that.

I walked around that practice facility, I walked around here, like the inside and there's so many tools to work with. It has three sheets of ice. As a coach, you're like 'oh my God', these are things you want as a coach. So, those are attractive things to help me become an even better coach. That's why I think, I can't speak for the past, I know what I see now, and the relationship of the people I deal with now and it excites me" Tocchet said.


Tocchet on the Flyers practice facility. I guess it did matter to him.

The Canucks organization has become the joke of the league. Nice dig, by Tocchet, in not so many words.

Don’t see how the fuck the team can attract top UFA’s or keep their own with that kind of a reveal. Reminds me of how happy Horvat was when he was traded.

Practice facility is the most important thing to Tocchet and that’s why thatteam is soft and a perennial loser. I remember when Philly won cups. They didn’t need no stinking practice facility. What’s happened to that loser city. Back then they were punching meat carcasses, running up steps, chopping wood, climbing mountains, chasing chickens and doing one arm push-ups. Tocc’s gone soft and turned into a quitter. Canucks dodged a bullet when that guy crumbled under the Canuck pressure we’ve all witnessed since their inception.

Kypreos thinks Mr Aquilini came up short on the contract offer, too. General lack of financial commitment, you might say.

Paid for by selling the old ones at $50 a pop.

The Aqualini’s are pathetic

It’s very likely Tocchet whined to get those new seats, next a comfy little practice facility with gourmet cooking, massages, onesies and stuffies. The Tocchet Canucks would have been trending towards a Philadelphia style Country Club, and losing every ounce of pride, hustle and desire that the Canucks most influential coach Bill LaForge ingrained into the team’s culture.

I've heard they water the beer down as well. Like an ounce of water at the bottom of every cup.

By the time they're finished with their tricks, there's hardly any beer in the cup.

Canucks for Kids Fund. Why not direct your hate intelligently? It helps. Also helps to read the entire article, not just the headlines.

Someone might accuse you of being like Mëds.
