John Shannon: Management frustrated that lessons weren't learned in the playoffs. Why the date change for the Winter Classic?

Ep. 1098

John Shannon joins and says management is frustrated that the lessons from last spring's postseason run have not been learned. He says this is its way of pushing Pettersson and that he's not convinced management wants to move him. He takes us all the way back to the start of Canucks history to tell us if the franchise is cursed; muses about how long management will put up with the nonsense, and explains why the Winter Classic moved from New Year's Day to New Year's Eve.
