I'd have to guess a poor outing on Saturday would finally turn some heads in the back office. Also, if you subscribe to the "he's giving Vigneault all the rope to hang himself" theory, there's that too. ;) John – I don’t think Gillis can be too reactionary this early on but I do share much of what you said.

Why did he not spend the 2o mill he was hanging onto for Mats Sundin when he was apparrent he was not coming to the Canucks. I believe that there is not one player scoring 20 goals plus which means there is a poor team trying to keep out of the bottom teams of league and conference I feel sorry for the Coach as he can only be as good or bad as the players he is presented with John Elliott So the Canucks Death knell is nigh.One listens to the GM talking and you get no feeling of hope.He talks of the likes of Luongo and Sedins staying when their contracts are up because of all the good things which are going to happen because Canucks have a good team – who’s he kidding.

I've changed the name of the post. My apologies again.

Just doesn't seem right to demean and offend people with special needs for you to make a point. People who are "retarded" like my daughter are doing the best they can. They don't need to be ridiculed by people because of how they were born. You are so lucky to be able to do so many things that you might just take for granted. How about showing a little compassion? How about giving these people some dignity. Thanks for listening to this mom's plea.
