The Vancouver Canucks are an organization that has no direction, they're not doing well on the ice and with locker room trouble starting to boil over, they're not doing well off the ice either, these comments certainly don't help that.
Last night on Hockey Night in Canada team president Jim Rutherford was interview and this is what he had to say regarding the teams direction.
well, I think some people have to realize how long rebuilds are. You look at some of the teams that went through it, and we look at how good they are now, but there were a lot of tough years. We may very well be in a rebuild on the direction we're going. But ideally we'd like to transition this team on the fly. We do have some core players, some young players, that are really good. These guys just have to keep working and try to work through this. But we will continue to try to add younger players to this team and bring it together here in the next year or so
Fans aren't too happy with the statements Rutherford has made even going so far as to burn jerseys, or toss them on the ice.
I usually don't agree with things like throwing jerseys, but in this case, when your own team president doesn't seem to know the direction of the hockey team you cheer for, I'd say it's justified. Fans are pissed and they have every right to be
