By Resigning Av, Gillis And Aquilini's Showed Us Fans That They Don't Care About Winning

[miles.p]

AV's coaching success.

1st year - Loss in second round

2nd year - No playoffs

3rd year - loss in second round (had to come down from 3-1 to win the 1st round then blow it against the 'Hawks

4th year - collapse against the hawks again after dominating first round 4 - 0

5th year - almost collapsed in the first round (1 goal away from making history) then completely get blown out on the road against the Bruins and loss game 7 on home ice

6th year - 1st round loss.

We certainly have a winner on our hands folks.

My post: Facts

Your post: Speculation and false hope.

I can definitely tell why Canuck fans are the most hated in all of NHL.

And last i check consistently failing in the playoffs makes the team mediocre. Not a winner.

[Vansicle]

I'm a fan of Twizzlers..........and Twizzling.........and the double entendre.....

[D.Doughty]

What the frack are you talking about? Unless the team goes 0-82, I seriously doubt they don't care about winning.

CDC...

So when are you going to start a fire the Aquilini's thread??

[Vansicle]

Aquilini is spending your money as we type.

Suggestion: Aquilini should hire some 'specialists' to hunt all you trolls down and drop you over the Lion's Gate Bridge. "Good riddance!" LOL. JK. (Not really)

But then we'd block the Fraser.

Why? At this point it's hilarious. We ought to start a pool. We could break it down into subcategory:

AV topics:

-outcoached

-never win the cup

-best coach evar

-gum

-mancrush

Lou topics:

-contract

-no one will take his contract

-best goal tender evar

Raymond topics:

-fall down

-bag of pucks

-useless

. . . etc

It actually gets to the point, like some jokes, where it starts off funny, gets old, and then returns full circle to funny again.

Our team isn't that stacked compared to teams like Pittsburgh and Detroit, and we still got the Presidents trophy, while they got like 4th in their conferences and got kicked a$$ in the 1st round. Your explanation tells me that Mike Babcock and Dan Bylsma are worse than the "loser" Alain Vigneault.

Poeple have to stop thinking that if you dont win a Cup that it is a failure. We are the Vancouver Canucks not team Canada. Success is having a competetive team that makes the playoffs most seasons and gives its fans a chance to see thier team in the finals. If that isnt good enough for you then I suggest waiting to see which team wins the cup each year and say that they were your favorite team. Then you would never be let down or dissapointed and always cheer for the best team. By your logic there is only one successful team every year. The fact that people think that not winning the cup is a failure means that we must have been spoiled with great teams. You think fans in Edmonton and Calgary are saying that if thier teams don't win the cup its a failure? Those fans would be happier than pigs in crap to have a team as good as ours.

>Wins president's trophy

>Wins 15 games in post season

>Wins president's trophy

>Gets accused of not caring about winning

If I was part of management I'd be very interested in knowing what this 'fanbase' has been smoking.

[Rounoush]

Just stop...

[IMyMeMine]

respect the process; how often do you start a race at the finish line? gillis and co. (w/ some remnants of past canucks teams) have built a team that is ready to compete for the cup now and for several years to come. if it was that easy to win the cup, there would be a clear dynasty right now.

sure, AV has made some controversial decisions, but is there a better coach for the team? even if you think there should be a new voice, that new voice has to mesh w/ the (core) players as well.

also, even with the best players, there's a lot of variables that play into the game; that's what makes the stanley cup playoffs so intriguing.

[miles.p]

2 wins in last 10 playoff games

Can't adjust in game and consistently outcoached

Raymond sighting in first or second line.

Team plays with no sense or urgency or toughness

If i was part of management, i'd be very interested in finding out what i've been smoking, because i just agreed to sign AV for 2 more years.

what a stupid thread

I'm not a big supporter of AV...but someone needs to light a fire under his arse. I'm tired of watching him just stand behind the bench and chew a pack of gum a game. It seems like he just watches his team, he doesn't COACH his team. This team needs a mini shake-up, so AV better change his strategies.
