Alain Vigneault's Extension In Vancouver Presumably Completed In The Next Two Weeks

[-Vintage Canuck-]

https://twitter.com/#!/TSNBobMcKenzie - Final coaching tweet of night: I expect Alain Vigneault's extension in VAN to be worked on and presumably completed in next two weeks.

I just hope it gets announced and completed as soon as possible so we won't see anymore coaching threads.

Good news to me. Time for him to make some significant adjsutments. MG make some moves to improve the team and have the Canucks get back to that offensive hockey with Schneids in net!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!

There go all of our prospects' futures.

No, instead of coaching changes threads, we'll get threads about how MG screwed up and should have got someone else. I'm glad AV will be re-signing, I want to see him bring this team a cup.

Bummer. Mind you there's nobody else out there right now...

[Thunder Bunnies]

Somehow get Dale Hunter ..

[Smashian Kassian]

Please can we stop with this myth.

Look at our team now after they've developed under AV.

[Tearloch7]

Brent Sutter and Rick Tocchet are "out there" .. new dynamic .. great with young players .. motivators .. all things AV is marginally mediocre at ..

[Pears]

Somehow get Dale Hunter ..

AV is the reason the Canucks kept getting buried in goals in the SCF series. I mean when a team surrenders two goals or more immediately, you'd assume their coach would call a timeout, but noooo.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Great to see our best coach in this franchise's history presumably coming back for another season!!!!!!!!!

[Sanford]

When we fail in the past 6 years with the same coach... keep trying a 7th time? After we lost to the 8th seeded team in 5 games?

This is just absolutely ridiculous! Av should had been fired when we were ousted by the 8th seeded team in such an embarrassing fashion.

Lose in 5 games against the 8th seeded team WITHOUT winning a home game for the fans and get a 3 YEAR EXTENSION!

That's outstanding folks! Very outstanding. This team needs a new coach. It needs change. It's clear that our window is closing fast... AV has had 6 YEARS that's right 6 YEARS.... It's time to give the players a new coach! Most importantly THERE MUST BE ACCOUNTABILITY for our early first round playoff exit.

Hopefully this is not true, frankly if failure gets you a contract extension and job security in the Canucks organization, it becomes hard to support them. All last year I watched the regular season and for what... so we could get ousted in the first round in such a humiliating fashion by the 8th seeded team?

This is just cherry on top giving the coach who failed miserably to motivate the team during stretches of the season, and made little adjustments when scoring became an issue. This is the same coach that believed a magical switch would appear in the playoffs to get the team going...

Well guess what AV, that switch turned the lights off.... in 5 games.

FIRE AV!

AV's coaching style really showed in the 2nd half of this season and especially in the playoffs. Since he's been here he's been out-coached ..and I really don't want to see him back. I think he's a great coach but just not for playoff hockey..
