Riddle me this #Canucks fans: for 2 years a big chunk of the fanbase stand by EP40 after he gets the bag ($11.6) and then falls off precipitously
Fans dogpile QH43 after giving everything he had on the ice, bc he lets up for a couple gms at the end due to the epic disfunction…
@noahstrang_ Yes and some of us said this at the time he was signed (or at least pointed out it was a gamble) and got yelled at by the rest of the fanbase for it.
@polarisquinn - He did request a trade (telling mgmt he wouldn't re-sign is the same thing)
- He couldn't limit his trade options or leave for his bros because he didn't have a no-trade clause, lol
I don't blame him for wanting to leave, but at least get the facts right.
Anyone still wishing Tom Gaglardi won the ownership battle for the #Canucks instead of Aquilini needs to read this.
He's essentially stealing public money meant for poor schools and children to fund his arena.
That's about as "Evil Piece of Sh*t Billionaire" as you can get.
Plano public schools plan to contribute $250M in tax revenue to the Dallas Stars' future billion-dollar arena.
The funds would come from recapture, which is money property-rich school districts give back to the state to be distributed to poorer schools.
@BBoberetta Man, just STFU. I'm talking about an enormous asshole who took hundreds of millions of dollars away from the poorest local schools and all you can reply with is....
"Duuuuuuhhhh AqUiLiNi BuRnEr"
You're a special kind of retard
@nuckshawks@BBoberetta Uhhhh, well maybe because I'm a Canucks fan on Canucks Twitter and there's a very obvious Canucks connection with Gaglardi being the former business partner of Aquilini who tried to sue him over Canucks ownership.
It's not rocket science man.
@24_Maitland The easiest and correct reaction to this should be, "Wow. That's horrible by Gaglardi."
It isn't to play the whataboutism game with Aquilini.
@BBoberetta Because I'm a Canucks with followers who are Canucks fans and Gaglardi tried to sue Aquilini over ownership of the Canucks, so there's an obvious connection.
There's also a lot of people on Canucks Twitter that believe Gaglardi is this great guy who we'd all love as an owner.
@BBoberetta Both owners suck, but if you're taking the side of the guy getting public money from the poorest local schools to fund his arena, well... that's certainly a choice. 😬
