was a special experience.
So now this being day three, I can honestly say I'm extremely excited to get to work on the hockey aspect of things and start this vision.
Well, for me, it's an extremely special one.
Vancouver and this organization have a very special place in my heart.
All my kids were born on the West Coast.
As a player, being a part of some very special years here, playing alongside some incredibly special players, Hall of Fame players,
There's that element to it.
There is the element of knowing how passionate the fans are here about their Canucks and knowing that it matters here.
Hockey matters to these people.
And they want to see a product that is deserving of their approval and their fanship.
And lastly, and most importantly, or I shouldn't say most importantly, but a major factor in it is the fact that I have an opportunity to come back here and work with such great people.
Henrik, Daniel, RJ, the fact that we are so aligned in the way we see things from an on ice product to the off ice daily messaging to the way people should be treated.
We're very much in sync with that.
So it's a great opportunity for those and a whole host of other reasons to be back in this organization.
Congratulations, Manny.
Obviously, you know where this team is in its competitive cycle right now.
So there's no surprises in that regard.
I'm just wondering about the opportunities or challenges, I suppose, of...
taking over a last place team.
