[Marek] Rachel Doerrie, who was dismissed from the Canucks shortly after head coach Bruce Boudreau announced she was joining his staff, has retained Vancouver labour lawyer Peter Gall.

1. The gall of this woman.

2. The plot thickens.

3. On the one hand, it’s good that she’s standing up for herself by getting a lawyer if she felt she was wronged. On the other hand, what organization would want to hire her after this?

4. not a criminal lawyer, so good news?

5. I was just researching the guy out of curiosity and none other that Brian Burke is listed as counsel on the firm’s website. Wonder if Burkey had any influence on this choice🤔

6. I might be in the minority here but I’ll be completely holding in any judgement, speculation, opinions, and hot takes until this is all said and done because we literally have ZERO idea what happened. Seems like a good move for my mental health.

7. it’s ridiculous how much people care about this, employees quit and get fired all the time

8. Anyone who has an employment contract terminated would benefit from a lawyer negotiating the terms of their exit versus just accepting what is offered.

9. Is this going to be news every time a woman gets fired in sports?

   Is that the equality we all want?

10. Her Twitter account banner reads “Never destroy anyone in public when you can accomplish the same result in private”.

    She also retweeted someone who said:

    > cannot believe I have to say this but: perhaps don’t insinuate a person retaining a labour lawyer has sexually assaulted a player, good christ.

    > (and also, fucking get over the Luke Hughes comments you weirdos)
