After one of the most disappointing Vancouver Canucks seasons in recent memory, fans are not to pleased with owner Francesco Aquilini and have decided to go after him in one of the most disappointing was possible.
The Vancouver Canucks are in for a long offseason, where many question marks and gaps are going to have to be answered in the coming months, but fans are trying to already make their mark to display their displeasure with Aquilini and upper management.
Why Vancouver Canucks fans want the Dallas Stars to win the Stanley Cup
As some fans may elect to not watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs, some are turning to another team to cheer for in order to send a strong message to the Canucks owner.
A litigation lawyer and avid Canucks fan who reports fun facts and news about the team on social media, made waves when he highlighted why fans should be cheering for the Dallas Stars in the playoffs.
Every reasonable Canucks fan is at least somewhat cheering for Dallas right? We need Gaglardi to win the Cup. Would be another black stain for Aquilini ownership legacy. The guy you were going to buy team with buys diff team few years later and wins cup before you. - Arpan
All of this stems from the relationship with Tom Gaglardi, a Canadian business man and owner of the Dallas Stars, who previously had extreme interest in purchasing the Canucks back in 2004.
But, as it went, instead of getting 50% of the team with his bid, he was outbid by his rival and former associate Francesco Aquilini, who took full control of the organization in 2006.
But, this idea of cheering for another team just to get back at a not so favorite owner is not unanimous, some fans have taken to social media to clap back at this notion.
Aquilini is not well liked at all for his way of dealing with the media, the fans and showing sole interest in greed, and if the Stars win, it will be a big shot to the ego of Mr. Francesco.
