ST. PAUL, Minn.—Even from a distance, Dave Bolland has managed to irritate the Canucks.



The Blackhawks center did a little long-distance chirping to ramp up the rivalry between the teams during a radio broadcast in Chicago on Monday night. Bolland drew the ire of Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault during a broadcast of “Blackhawks Live at Harry Caray’s” on WGN-AM 720 when Bolland referred to the Canucks’ Sedin brothers, Henrik and Daniel, as “sisters.”



Bolland was asked if the Sedins would still be sisters if they joined the Hawks.



“Well, they’ll never become Hawks,” Bolland said. “I don't think we'd let them on our team. We'd be sure not to let them on our team. And, yeah, they probably still would be sisters. I think they might sleep in bunk beds. The older one has the bottom one, the younger one got the top.”



On Wednesday in Vancouver after the audio went viral, Vigneault responded.



“When you have comments like Bolland’s, obviously (it’s) an individual who’s IQ is probably the size of a bird seed and he’s got a face that only a mother could look at,” Vigneault said, according to TSN.



“Obviously, in my mind such a classy organization like Chicago I’m sure that they’re not too happy about that and I’m sure the NHL isn’t too happy about that. We’re not talking about junior league here or a bush league. We’re talking about National Hockey League where they have professional players where they get involved in community and society who all do a hard line of work and they do it the best way they can. To have guys like this trying to act like comedians it’s just not the right thing to do.”



Henrik Sedin took the high road when asked about it in the Canucks’ dressing room.



“Who cares?” Sedin told reporters. “I have a lot of respect for a lot of guys on that team. We’re not playing them for another few weeks so I don’t know what that came from.”



The Hawks next face the Canucks on Jan. 31 in Vancouver.

Alain is such a little *****, I wonder if he wears panties



I would have been worse than Bolly, I would have called the team top to bottom a bunch of whiners and cheap shot artists. Then followed up with, you gotta love a city that throw trash on their own ice, stay classy nuckland stay classes

 

[Ton]

WTF? How can he say:



“When you have comments like Bolland’s, obviously (it’s) an individual who’s IQ is probably the size of a bird seed and he’s got a face that only a mother could look at”



Then proceed to say:



"To have guys like this trying to act like comedians it’s just not the right thing to do.”



I'm confused...

 

[supraman]

his whole team is a joke.

 

[MassHavoc]

Exactly. He makes the same type of immature comment then goes on to rail Bolland for his by saying this is the NHL, we are professionals it's just not the right thing to do. What a joke. I think what AV said was probably worse than what Bollie said in terms of bollie was just joking around on a radio show and AV was trying to retaliate, and yet somehow he is the professional and Bollie is the joke?

Yes because he got one of the sedin sisters (the center) all worked up a couple years ago

BLAH BLAH BLAH AV....BLAH BLAH FUCKING BLAH!!!



Your players pull hair, bite fingers, dive around like dieing fish, Burrows yaps his mouth off every 2 seconds about other players around the league, your prize sisters have also been known to flap their gums off the ice, your GM calls press conferences to ***** about NHL officiating, you yourself beak off about officiating and other players in the league (I can certainly bring up the sound bites)...need we go on here?



AV is the most two faced asshole in the league.



I would rather have players on my team that try to be funny and lighten the mood rather than hair pulling spazz babies. Wonder which one makes the league look worse?



Idiot

Bollie at a BAR joking on a radio show. -- refers to them as sisters. Something that has been around since they came into the league and commonly done for years. Should he have said it probably not but not a big deal. As a matter of fact he said it 48 hours ago and we are only talking about it because AV brought it up in front of the press.



AV in a presser -- “When you have comments like Bolland’s, obviously (it’s) an individual who’s IQ is probably the size of a bird seed and he’s got a face that only a mother could look at,” Vigneault said, according to TSN. Multiple personal attacks made purposely in retaliation to try to draw attention to himself.



then he goes on to talk about class after just demonstrating he has none? As head coach for a team who embraces the white flag as a team Philosophy? How is this guy still still their coach. I hope the NHL does step in on this because AV should get it worse than Bollie, he's a coach and supposed to be a leader and example and continues to fail.

 

[BigPete]

AV is a ***** ass pussy. That team sucks, it starts with their coach. He's a fucking joke.

 

[the canadian dream]

Great points Havoc



and you are damn rights Pete. It starts with the coach. If Q has a problem or finds an issue with what Bolland said then he will approach him as Q always does with his players. It's the one great quality that Q really does have as a head coach. He checks egos well and he knows how to approach his players when they nee to be approached to get them focused.



AV does not have that character or quality. He is the direct opposite of Q in that department. He allows his team to fuel the opposition and he does it himself. It's dangerous and it's no secret as to why his team always folds at the wrong time. It often appears he has zero control of his players and he probably even influences them to be the yappy hacks that they are. He will never win a cup. He wouldn't have won a cup with our cup winning team even though many think any coach would have. Q would have had guys like Buff and Steeg yapping to the press fueling fires. There is a time when you need to get your players shutting up. Q knows the times. AV doesn't.



AV is lucky he has 2 talented players that have carried his coaching record. he has also done a good job of letting those 2 extreme;y talented players shit the bed when it matters most and lets them turn into divers and hacks...something they should never be. AV fails.

 

[ytsejam]

They sure got their stinky panties twisted to all hell on this one.

 

[PatrickSharpRules]

I mean how fucking stupid is Vigneault? What coach stoops down to the level of the players EVER, and IQ is NOT measured in the size of an object, it is based on numbers. The word he was looking for was brain, Bolland's "brain" is the size of bird seed, god damn moron.



Btw guys, my penis is 163....

 

[MassHavoc]

I bet even AVs mom can't look at bollies face.... Because she can twist that way when he's drilling her from behind. Yeah I said it.
