Big news!!

Thanks HW. A little good news was sorely needed after the events of the day.

all over the media now and they make it big news like it was a surprise. Sounds like no POHO at this time. A new GM and shuffling people around but he will. It be involved in the day to day. He will be there for advice only if needed. Also sounds like owners have not committed to a new POHO or even if they want to go in that direction.

So whoever they hire as GM will be running the show. Sort of makes the case for experience??

but who will develop the practice facility?

Looks to me like Mr Aquilini will be filling the POHO chair much like he did in the post Linden portion of the Benning era.

A return to a golden age. I'll be in my glory.

The whole sordid affair with the family members filing lawsuits against each other was over Grandma Aqua's PNE parking money fortune.

You'd probably be fine with just a rain slicker and cartridge filter mask.....I mean, they can't afford a practice facility, they won't have full hazmat suits.

Some of the leading GM candidates - "the worst of the rebuild is behind you"...

Big Head Hockey calculates that all opportunities to move up in the lottery over the years combined, the Canucks had a 98.5 percent chance of moving up. And yet, you know the story.

Ya think it's rigged?

Why else cut to commercial right before the last ball. Even with the PIP, there was a flash where they engaged the AI
