Aquilini buys the remaining share of the Canucks

Local ownership is always good, nice to see him buy the rest and get rid of McCaw

RE: Aquilini buys the remaining share of the Canucks

McCaw did nothing but hurt this franchise. He won in the box office, but not on the ice. He was one of the prime reasons the Canucks had a dispassionate underachieving team. The Canucks were always a one line hockey team, with a ton of talent on top and none throughout the rest of the lineup.

Franchises like Edmonton and Montreal have been successful, because the ownership has always made the team a part of the culture. Montreal acquires French players because they play with their heart on their sleeves. Edmonton acquires hometown Alberta kids because the city of Edmonton has such a bond with the Oilers.

I hope Aquilini will cut the corporate bullshit McCaw gave us, and deliver a good on ice product.
