I found myself thinking about this again on the way to work today, and you guys both make sense. I mean, Burke left Vancouver and went to Anaheim, they won the cup in just a few years. Sure he had some building blocks already in place, but he did his fair share "leadership" to craft a solid team. That track record doesn't look well for Nonis, especially for being taught by the guy. Man, I'm just going to stick with the game. All this business stuff gets to be too much! It’s such a difficult topic.

If his plan was to do that again I agree with this firing. Also I think it was his own fault. He said when he started he had a 3 year plan to bring us the cup. 3 years went buy and we were eliminated from the play off 2 of the 3 years. From the owners point of view they lost $10 to $50 million in revenue. If you did that at your work would you be fired? Sorry but I do not think I could stomach another year of boring hockey.

Definitely it was a business decision. There are plenty of decisions made in business that make no sense at the time...but rarely are they as public as with a professional sports team. I enjoy the intrigue of office power struggles...we have them all the time in my company...and the Canucks are no different. What's done is done...and whoever they get is their decision...I just hope that person can inject some excitement to the team and build on the solid defense that is there for them today.
