The TV personality goes off on the Canucks.
The Vancouver Canucks are having a terrible season.
Not only has the team's product on the ice this season been relatively lackluster, the Canucks are currently well out of a playoff spot in the National Hockey League's Pacific division ahead of only the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, but there have been a number of rumors of dysfunction within the Canucks locker room and within the halls of the organization itself.
The Canucks once again faced backlash on Friday when it was announced that defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson would be made a healthy scratch, the first time he had been made a healthy scratch since being a rookie with the Arizona Coyotes during the 2010-11 NHL regular season.
It would seem that this decision was the final straw that would break the camel's back when it comes to Toronto television host Sid Seixeiro and his patience with the Canucks organization. On Friday, Seixeiro, who is a former sports radio host turned television personality for Breakfast Television, took to social media to lampoon the Canucks as what he describes as one of the worst run organizations in all of hockey.
Seixeiro rejected the notion that fans or the media in Vancouver are a problem, and instead pointed the finger directly at how the Canucks organization has been managed.
"I've heard my entire life how difficult a media market Vancouver is. Too much Canucks criticism. Media/fans unfair. Blah, blah, blah," wrote Seixeiro on Friday.
"Enough of that. This is one of the worst organizations in hockey and they deserve every ounce a criticism that comes their way in that market."
Seixeiro certainly didn't hold back here and while you might think that his comments would draw the ire of at least some members of the Canucks' fan base, the responses to his comments were largely positive even among the Canucks' faithful.
