Erik Karlsson Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I didn't make this thread because we lost, I've been saying this stuff all season, today just proved how incompetent AV can be. For the record, I don't think he should be fired this season obviously, but he should be gone next season, unless we miraculously win a cup. One of my biggest problems with AV is he doesn't ever seem to think ahead, he just takes everything one game at a time and makes a lot of dumb decisions.. Example, last year he told us he wasn't prepared for the LA series because he thought Daniel would be back... Wtf, not being prepared at the most important time of the season? His job is to prepare the team, especially during key injuries... Schneider was just sick and Lu played awesome after sitting the most he ever has in his career, we didn't trade Lu so we could have two elite goalies for the playoffs. Wouldn't it be smart to get both goalies some playing time to keep them sharp especially if one gets injured? He should have rested Schneider a few more days and gave Lu the start today. There would be no controversy and Lu played great last game. It would raise his morale which would also be beneficial to the team. Everyone knows Sedins are ineffective in the playoffs and they get pushed around....The only time they score is on the power play, they're invisible 5 on 5. So wouldn't it be smart to put Kassian with them now to start training and helping him get used to the game they play? I guarantee he's going to get thrown on that line in the playoffs once the twins start getting manhandled again. Sure Kassian makes lots of mistakes in the defensive zone but how is benching and demoting him going to help? All it does is make him grip his stick tighter which leads to more mistakes. (people who play hockey should know this) Even most analysts say AV needs to have more patience and stop demoting Zack. Imo they should either send him to the AHL or leave him on a line to develop some actual chemistry. A lot of our post season success will rely on this kid, whether you like it or not. He can change games with his hits and he can score. Now is the time to get his confidence as high as they can, not do the opposite. Another thing that bothers me is AV seems to ignore what kind of games his players play and also plays favorites too much. Kesler is already playing more minutes then Roy after missing the whole season and being injured the last 2 years... Roy is an offensive player and Kesler is more suited to a defensive role. Kesler's strength is attacking off the rush like Raymond and Hansen so I don't get why they aren't playing together or atleast been given a shot. They would make a great shutdown line that can also bury the puck. Roy and Higgins have chemistry and Kassian can make room for them. If he isn't going to play with the twins then he should be on this line. Kassian is a creative player like Roy and playing with Kesler hampers that imo. And please no comments about him being the most winning coach, I don't care at all. Ruff was Buffalo's most winning coach and he's gone, and it really has no effect on this season whatsoever. I predict a first round exit. This team is far too inconsistent and the line juggling does not help. Anyways that's my rant. Flame away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Ok, coach. If we win cup still should be fired? Why didn't you make this thread earlier not after a loss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xereau Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Agree about Kesler. Roy is 2a, and Kesler is 2b. Kesler is more suited to a '3rd' line duty. Agree on playing Luongo today. Crappy team, and just after a flu. Agree on the 'excuse' after the loss to LA last year. Agree, AV will be fired unless the Canucks show up in the playoffs. I can hear "FIRE AV" echoing thru the rafters, already, ala Toronto last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Because then apparently I'm not a fan of the team, doesn't matter though, once everything I say comes true in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Karlsson Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Perhaps, that will be exactly what happens, but if it does it means you getting your jollies on the Canucks losing. That makes you not a fan in the slightest, so I couldn't care less about your opinion. Next someone would actually have to read this drivel before you would be able to say "I told you so".

hudson bay rules Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 so, Kassian is on the Sedin's line as well as the Higgin's- Roy line? Got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindChaser Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 He's not prepared for Daniel injury, he should be fired He is now preparing for injuries by testing possible line combinations before injury actually occur, he should be fired Got it, fire AV it is~ question though, who should be his replacement?
