Smashian Kassian Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I guess we should hire Peter Laviolette he has a Cup so I guess he is way better than AV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Absolutely. Would take Laviolette over him in a heartbeat. Theres a guy who motivates his team, gets them prepared to play, makes necessary adjustments and can get the most out of his players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 he definitely gets the most out of his goaltenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 No lol. His goaltenders carry him and make him look like a way better coach than he actually is. Luongo's name should be on the Jack Adams, not AV's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Alexander Cody Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yah and Hockey Professionals obviously disagree with you! You have zero clue what goes on behind the scenes with the Canucks so don't act like you know. If the players agreed with you if Gillis Agreed with you AV would be gone, but guess what he is going to be here for a long time so suck it up.

Bagofcats Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hey with some of the talk around here anyone can do it! I'm all for firing his ass if I can be coach, but I don't promise any kind of success except for a damn good chance at a lottery pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I can't disagree with that, but that still doesn't make a case for firing AV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesler's Nose Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yeah, that's right... Insult the system that has won us numerous games and made us one of the top teams in the national hockey league, right... lol It's not the system you should be insinuating has let us down, it's the adaption during the playoffs that needs work. AV needs to have some secret strategies tucked away, instead of putting it all on the ice every night... It's worked good enough thus far, but when some of these coaches get to the playoffs they step their mental game up to a higher level than the "average bear." We have the team, after the Lu deal (If a good enough trade is made) we'll have the few missing pieces we need to push us over the edge, it's then up to AV to make the right choices and our players to go for broke and win. Can't wait for this years playoffs, as John Shorthouse would say it's gonna be a dooziee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Just make every game entertaining and worth the ticket price. I don't even care if we lose. The Real Fans will cheer as long as they play hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 edit: I think the main problem is that Canuck fans smoke too much weed and thus have memory issues. People forget Keenan, Renney, Ley, Even the best coaches we have had in Crow and Quinn weren't as good as AV. Maybe people are bored of winning. I think that fans here wish we took the Oilers route and tanked for years to build up with first overall picks. - Hey not a bad idea if it could be guaranteed but its not! I'd rather have a coach that competes year after year! That is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I don't know about that, AV has way more than Quinn and Crow ever did, I wouldn't mind seeing either here personally, although if I had to choose, I would love to have Pat, I think he is the perfect coach for what we need. He is great at motivating and getting the most out of guys, that's what we need. Alot of coaches could win PT's with the teams we have had.

Smashian Kassian Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Well Quinn is a God so he was a bad example. but in the new NHL when a team out skills you or out bruises you a boring game style is sometimes the only way to win. Thats not just on AV thats what the NHL allows for. I don't think Crow's coaching style flies especially with the team AV had back in '07 If we were to run and gun with the Oilers... we lose. Obviously AV is defence first but I personally don't think thats a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We played alright tonight, the issue with tonights game is that AV didn't get us ready to play, and that he didn't do anything to try to help the PP along, aside from that I thought we carried the play for alot of the game, especially when we started to attack.

Smashian Kassian Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yes the PP has been pretty awful but I believe that Brown's department no? However on the flipside the PKers were all business, tonight was one of the most dominant PKs I have ever witnessed... not sure who is on PK coaching.

Aladeen Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yeah Brown should go too, although AV does have the final say. We need alot of work though. especially with out starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazzY Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Why are you slamming Gillis OP.. The system is the coaches problem. Fire AV, time for a shakeup in the locker room, this team doesnt lack skill, it lacks a real leader in the dressing room thats NOT wearing a pair of skates. Players should fear their coach, ask Doughty what he thinks of Sutter. With AV we will never win anything. All of AV's success has been from Gillis, the Sedins, and Luongo. Time for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 No lol. His goaltenders carry him and make him look like a way better coach than he actually is. Luongo's name should be on the Jack Adams, not AV's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 There are certainly some glaringly obvious issues with this team, and they have been addressed already in this thread I'm sure: the Sedins, the PP, slow starts time and time again. If the playoffs started tomorrow, this team wouldn't get out of the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
