Politique sur les médias malhonnêtes des Canucks

Imagine if they gave a press pass to every hack who wrote a blog on the Canucks?
Also, Patterson and Wadden made their bed when they joined forces with Sekeres and Price knowing those two were blacklisted by the organization.

Definitely some interesting allegations – but also a very poorly written and confusing article for a professional journalist. Not really sure what to think.
The whining and back patting in this article is nauseating.
his strange articles and odd behavior don’t seem to be mentioned.
the article spends more time outlining how he’s worked in hockey for years and have lots of friends in the game, but now they’re being mean and not sticking up for him…
I’m sorry but I stopped reading after the first paragraph. What the fuckkkkk???
Who knows, maybe this writer has been treated unfairly, but I hope this isn’t what he considers professional writing. Kinda high school. Couldn’t get through it.
He could work on his writing or maybe his emotional maturity levels and probably have an easier time doing his job.
This reads like the ‘journalist’ thinks he’s hot shit. The less of his writing I have to read the better. What a whiner.
The entitlement is in this article is why I’m glad Canucks are being more strict with the media
This « journalist » can’t even use a proper possessive apostrophe in the title of his article.
Media here want to be part of the story rather than just reporting on the team.
i think there is an obvious ESH and i don’t really care about the writer, but if the policy is « we don’t give access to people we don’t like » that is kinda a shitty precedent to set. limiting access to favorable press/nepotism to CMac’s old job (how does SportsNet 650 get so six seats and The Athletic get one?) just seems petty and weird.
petty all around imo.
Dont know whether to laugh or cry.
This guy calling himself a journalist then publishing something that proves he isnt.
I fully believe the Canucks, a billion dollar organization, would cheerfully and unethically muscle local media in order to shape/control the narrative when possible. I can think of very few things that would require LESS evidence to convince me of. It’s so self-evidently likely that this could’ve been covered with a tweet.
Since it **wasn’t** covered with a tweet, and rather a voluminous jeremiad of hypothetical/perceived slights suffered by the author, I’m left with less a sense of opprobrium at the Canucks and more a sense of disbelief that he thought this was a good idea. He could have written « The Canucks r mean » with a frowning emoji and maintained more professional credibility.
TLDR – This guy probably **was** wronged by the Canucks, but this article is so poorly conceived and so disastrously executed that I’m left wanting to ban him too just on principle.
Constructive criticism vs tabloid style criticism. But man this guy needs to grow the fuck up. This kind of entitlement and attitude won’t cut it in any business environment.
Is he saying that Benning told him that he was shopping Boeser?
Won’t someone think of the bloggers!!! 🙄🙄
I just don’t give a fuck
Love to know more details about this inner circle of media nonsense.. please name names.. as a paying long time fan I vote for spill the beans. Can it get any worse for you?
Wadden is a clown. Sucks for Patterson. Sounds like sour grapes to me. It may be a weird policy, but if they let in all bloggers/pod casters it could get out of hand. I don’t know though.
I realize you have to tag everything that’s posted on this sub… but I’d hardly call this an « article ». Honestly couldn’t make it past the first few paragraphs.
Just unprofessional and poorly written. If he carries himself as poorly as this « article » is written, I can see why the Canucks wouldn’t want him showing up to media scrums
remember when Rob Simpson lost his job because he wouldn’t take « diversity beacon » out of a headline?
he might have a point in here somewhere, but who cares
Guy seems like he’s slipping into a manic episode.
I can’t argue that this is a great tactical move on the writers part.
But one fact that is certainly a fact. Sportsnet is the only « print » media outlet with a person covering all 82 games.
That’s not bad, it’s dire.
I don’t blame MacEwan… we all know who is steering this ship.
***Edited to clarify. The only outlet with in person (travelling with the team) coverage of the Canucks for all 82 games.
I believe 100% that Craig MacEwan is a shady guy. He controlled the narrative on Sportsnet650 for the Canucks because he was promised a job as their new PR director if he did. But this article was really poorly done. It hurts the message he’s trying to convey.
This article is frankly ridiculous. He has tiptoed around describing a number of concrete things he has done to piss the team off, and that’s from his side of the story.
I bet he did something pretty obviously bad to get banned, and is dodging that part of it to make himself look more noble. Any bets on what that thing was?
As I read the article, I didn’t recognize the byline, and I got the impression that the writer was in his early twenties and completely immature and inexperienced. Then he drops that he was a teenager in 1981 and… oof. Even where he makes a good point, this screed comes off as so unprofessional it’s hard to blame the Canucks for not wanting to deal with him.
I really don’t give a fuck about most of the media members’ feelings🤷
We may have better performing management, but this franchise still smells rotten to me.
>I’m well known for being a fun loving professional, respectful of all parties; coaches, players, management, crew, staff, and fans. Across the board, everywhere I’ve been, whether it’s been television, radio or print.
…. A couple paragraphs later.
>All that said, I made a big mistake being a bit too effervescent at an early Canucks road game in Seattle last season. After a TV walk-off was done with someone else, I said to “Murph” loudly, “when are you going to have a real guest on.”
>Teasing. Playing around. Being obnoxious for five seconds.
Whatever else, have to say my main takeaway is that this guy sounds like an absolute douchebag.
I get the sense that this guy isn’t as respectful and professional as he thinks he is.
Is this the guy that lied and said that Quinn Hughes was on IVs?
Very hard to get through this, but I did. I don’t know anything about this guy, but I have to hope this is just him feeling totally out of options and kind of going off. He could have done with a proofread or two though.
I feel his frustration, but in almost any job there are some people whose ass you have to kiss to some extent. As a beat writer, that person is the PR director of the team you cover. Instead, it sounds like this guy found ways to piss him off, and this is the result.
This article certainly won’t help matters. I feel bad for him, but this isn’t going to improve his situation in any way.
This guy is going to wish he could go back in time by the end of the week. Even if his criticisms are legitimate, who would give him credentials if a screed like this is his answer to conflict.
It’s also horribly written. Ouch.
The canucks media policy may or may not be whack but this just a strange and weirdly incoherent rant that does little to convince me of anything other than this dude’s inability to write.
Sekeres and Prince deserve to be excluded. Not Jeff. Not the other entities.
This dude sounds like he believes he’s literally incapable^1 of doing wrong. Bro, if everyone around you seems like an asshole^2, maybe you should consider the common denominator^3 in the situation^4.
^1 lacking capacity, ability, or qualification for the purpose or end in view
^2 a. usually vulgar : a stupid, annoying, or detestable person
b. usually vulgar : the least attractive or desirable part or area —used in phrases like asshole of the world
^3 a shared trait
a common denominator : the average level (as of taste or opinion) : STANDARD
^4 the way in which something is placed in relation to its surroundings
Canucks fans aren’t losing anything with less media overage. The narcissist that populate all media are becoming increasingly irrelevant and they don’t like it.
I honestly do not know Who is this guy is. Has he ever been a credible canucks reporter?
Idk what it is but fuck this guy ,move on folks.
