Interesting comments from GMMG...
I'm guessing that this all but guarantees that Ohlund is gone and that a complete makeover is in the offing for this team. It also explains why he signed Demitra but didn't bother to offer anything to Naslund, who signed for the same $ in NY.

"Our preference is not to reflect back and look at history but to look forward and look at the things we're doing and know we're going to get results from those things. So that's why it's probably easier for me to be optimistic than a lot of people, because I don't share that history and I'm not going to."
Interesting that he would say that... So what was this cheesy 7th Man promotion? And what about that "We are All Canucks"? Is that looking forward, Mike? I'll grant you that the Linden jersey retirement and Bourdon tribute were necessary, but is that in keeping with these message points? Aren't a lot of holdovers from the previous regime still getting their paycheques from Team Canucklehead? Guys like Ron Delorme, Stan Smyl and so on?
Sounds like someone is doing some damage control...
