Inside @bcplace. The @FIFAWorldCup pitch is installed. FIFA gets the keys to the building in two days. #bcpoli #WeAre26

Every player drafted 15th overall or higher in the cap era who was out of the NHL by their Draft + 7 season

He’s been offered the job to be the next head of hockey ops. Can’t see a situation where Johnson is going to turn it down.

Rutherford/Allvin era in only FOUR years: • Humiliated and fired Bruce Boudreau • Chose Miller over Horvat • Drafted Willander over Benson • Mikheyev 4 x $4.75 mill, spent a 2nd to trade the contract • 1st for Lindholm, let him walk • Let Zadorov Walk • Traded Miller for a 1st and injury prone Chytil who’s barely played any games, flipped the 1st for Marcus Pettersson • OEL buyout, he went on to thrive as a top pair defencmen • Lost Jack Adams winner Rick Tocchet • Signed EP40 to worst contract in NHL • Blocked trade of Necas for EP40 • Extended injury prone Demko • Long term expensive deals for Garland, Boeser and Demko to convince Hughes to stay when Hughes already informed him he’s leaving • Let Pius Suter walk • Traded Podkolzin for 4th for him to go thrive in EDM • Traded a 4th for Evander Kane • This all led to Quinn Hughes wanting out • Traded Quinn Hughes • After all this… they first refused the notion of a rebuild on HNIC, suggested a retool with a hybrid form What did I miss? Rutherford/Allvin destroyed the Canucks in only 4 seasons. They might be the worst executives in #Canucks history. Not only did they delay the inevitable for seasons, they wasted years of the former core’s competitive window. Fuck Jim Rutherford.

I spoke with one of the longest tenured Vancouver sports media members last night for a long time. I got the whole Garret story. He made a joke about Francesco on the team plane, nothing major, but a bit of a burn. It got back to Francesco and he decided to have Garret removed.

#VWFC CEO and Sporting Director Axel Schuster will meet with the press in Vancouver on Wednesday. #MLS

Statement from Kareem Allam, Mayoral Candidate for the Vancouver Liberals: Let’s save the Whitecaps. Here is how: With bidders now entering the process to purchase the Whitecaps who want to move the team, the likelihood of the team staying has decreased. But it’s not impossible to keep them. It will take courage, hard work, and sincerity—none of which we’ve had from Mayor Ken Sim. 1) The PNE site offer was a distraction. A feasibility study for a new ballpark there, with adjacent activations, quickly shows that without rapid transit (SkyTrain), the project won’t pencil out. 2) Being away from the downtown core negatively impacts suite capacity and the entertainment district, both essential to making the finances work. 3) This Whitecaps problem didn’t emerge in the past three months. It has been on the books for at least a decade. 4) To ensure a new local bidder doing due diligence on a significant acquisition can outbid others or at least give the MLS Commissioner pause, the project site needs to be much more substantial. 5) There has only ever been one site that works: the original Central Waterfront District proposal Kerfoot suggested in the 2000s. 6) Kerfoot still owns that land, but CPKC Rail owns the right of way on top of it. 7) What’s changed since that plan? The Minnesota Twins built a ballpark over railroad tracks, demonstrating that safety and engineering technology have come a long way. Wrigley Field, Minute Maid Park, and T-Mobile Park are all adjacent to or over rail lines. There are dozens of other examples. 8) Rather than dig into the file over the past four years, Ken Sim ignored it. He could have used this knowledge to bring rail companies, the Port, and the Feds together. The city also owns land immediately adjacent to the Kerfoot lands—at the nexus of a SeaBus line, two SkyTrain lines, and the West Coast Express—in the heart of our corporate core. 9) If we’re going to keep the team, we need the best. It’s time to hire Mortensen, who helped lead the Twins stadium project, and get to work to show local bidders and regulators a path to real financial viability, along with feasible engineering and safety—not a PR sleight of hand with the PNE site. 10) We don’t have anymore time to waste. Let’s save the Whitecaps!

The FIFA Delegation Football Tournament has taken over the Whitecaps facility at UBC — featuring legends of the game. Already seen De Rosario, Wenger, Del Piero, Marcel De Jong, Jorge Campos, Cobi Jones, Cafu, Cannavaro, Eto'o and more. Former Canada Soccer presidents Victor Montagliani and Nick Bontis also playing.

To every Whitecaps fan in B.C. — I hear you, and I see your passion. We are fighting to keep the Whitecaps in Vancouver. The province is at the table, working to find a solution to keep our beloved club in Vancouver.

STATEMENT FROM VANCOUVER MAYOR KEN SIM: The Whitecaps have been Vancouver’s club since 1974. Many things have changed throughout the years: the players, the logos, the kits, and the stadiums, just to name a few. The one thing that has never changed is Vancouver’s love of this team. The Whitecaps are one of the top teams in the MLS, they were the runners up in last year’s championship, and they sit in the top ten of league attendance at an average of 24,000+ per game. While we understand that professional sports is a complex business, it would be a mistake for any team to leave a market with such a longstanding history and ready-made fanbase. The City of Vancouver has done its part to create a path forward for the team’s future here by offering prime space at Hastings Park for the Whitecaps to construct a new stadium and entertainment district. Now, we face the difficult part. BC Place is owned and operated by the Provincial Government. In fact, it’s the only stadium owned and operated by a government found anywhere in the MLS. In order for the team to stay in Vancouver, the Whitecaps and Province must sign a bridge deal that will allow BC Place to become viable in the near term while a new stadium can be designed and built. That's why today, we are calling on the team’s ownership to publicly and clearly articulate what they need to stay here in Vancouver, and we are calling on the Provincial Government to come to the table and make that a reality. To all Vancouver Whitecaps fans, to the @Southsiders, and to all of the supporter groups, we need you to keep the fight going. We need you to stay strong, and we need you to stay loud. Losing the Whitecaps is not an option. #SAVETHECAPS

Whoever guesses my courtesy car number first gets tickets to the @Cadillac championship or if you can’t come this one, the closest tournament to you

I’m hearing rumors of a group out of Vancouver that is positioning to purchase the Vancouver Whitecaps, along with a stadium district plan… #Savethecaps 🤞

I know this will alarm some people (guys, my focus remains 99.9% Expos & the #PeanutProject - but I do need to keep investors excited, so): Granicus Sport Entertainment could technically be: - @mls => Vancouver @WhitecapsFC (I am unclear if they are for sale, or they just need a stadium, and the Saputos ain't selling @cfmontreal) - @MLB => Montréal @Montreal_Expos - but this is years' out and investors are impatient mofos) - @NHL => Les Nordiques du Quebec (over time) - @NBA => You tell me commissioner Adam Silver. - @NFL => Again you think I am crazy, but it ain't that crazy as I now see 2 paths (one is a joint Toronto/Montreal bid to add 2 Canadian teams, other is a Paris/Montreal bid as it expands globally) Anyway... thank the lawd I didn't focus on Montreal/Qc and built @WatchMojo globally.

Does this Whitecaps owner know he is allowed to talk and express his feelings about how much he wants to keep his team in Vancouver and how much this city means to him and his team. Nothing but silence from Whitecaps ownership and that's pathetic.

RIP to the Legendary John Garrett. Throwback to the time he mushed Roberto Luongo’s shutout.

Canucks Sports & Entertainment is heartbroken by the sudden passing of John Garrett, a cherished member of our family whose loss is deeply felt across our entire organization and community. We extend our heartfelt condolences to John’s family, friends, and all who knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed. Forever a Canuck. READ | vancanucks.co/4sUzxEp

Dear @MarkJCarney @Dave_Eby @KenSimCity Just so we're clear, I am offering to assist in keeping the @WhitecapsFC in Vancouver. If you are serious, I am not hard to find. I need TAILWINDS, not HEADWINDS, cc @SorayaMartinezF

Hard to say if this guy has the savvy to raise billions of dollars, but this city needs dreamers now
