nowhereman Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Only in Vancouver would the fans suggest firing the coach of a second place team that's on cruise-control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamero89 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 No way you fire him now. 10 games to put a new coach, and system in, is not enough time anyways. The Canucks are stuck in 2nd. He gets fired if the Canucks fall short of the finals though. History shows the teams that made the cup final, the year prior have always had struggling points during the regular season. We are doing better than the Bruins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIPS Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Instead of firing AV, I say we hire MacTavish as a coaching assistant, or coaching advisor. From what I gathered, AV is close with his players. If AV's ability is lacking, maybe MacTavish can make up for them. Player relations and coaching abilities are both important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
votrechien Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The Canucks have essentially assured 2nd or 1st in the West. Why would the Canucks go out there and drain themselves for the next 3 weeks just to put to rest some naysayers in Regina? The Canucks have nothing to play for at this point. If you don't believe me, ask Sami Salo who sat out last game although he's playing arguably some of the best hockey of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Maybe not now, but If we dont win the Cup this year, I can see him getting fired in the offseason. I think thats the reason we hired an NHL coach to coach our farm team, as a backup plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
