Cam Cole (Vancouver Sun) RIPS Mike Gillis and Canucks to Shreds - Defends Alain Vigneault


Recommended Posts

Gillis should go he signed Lou to his legthly contract,hasn't been able to deal with it,and now it's biting him in the ass big time.Live by the sword die by the sword, Lou's contract will be GMMGs' undoing.

I always laugh at this ridiculous comment. You really do not feel that AV bears any responsibility for two years+ of inept defensive strategies, decisions, and pairings? You seem to think an associate coach has an awful lot of autonomy.

Even if it was all on Bowness as you claim, why in the blue frack has AV not stepped in then after this much time? What has Gillis not fired Bowness and Brown?

You do know that coaching staff's work together right? And that the HEAD coach is the guy responsible for all decisions at the end of the day, right?

2 years in a row Canucks go down 3-0 in the playoffs. Islanders got a win against Pit, Min got a win again Chi but AV can't get a win against SJ. How can you let AV get away with that.

You're an awesome example of a neophyte hockey fan that has no real grasp on the game beyond what they have managed to conger up in their own incredibly rudimentary version of reality.

Posts like this are a sad commentary on the state of the average fan in "Canuck Nation".

BTW, I do agree it's time for AV to move on.

the only thing he missed is how grossly over paid most of our players are... cant believe the raises our players areg etting next year and the contracts we already have ... they may aswell all have NTC because no one will trade for their salary anyways unless we take a crap contract back... MG may have screwed us worse than Iron MIke Keenan .... we cant trade luongo for anything and might have to take on a part of his salary just to get rid of him... burrows ,edler and higgins get a raise next year.. kesler gets paid too much no one would take that bandaid .. higgins only looked good this year because most nights none of our players are putting out much effort .. edlers bieksa ballard hamhuis garrison are all over paid .. even schnieders cap hit is about 1 million too much ... i thought this ws vancouver a team where players wanted to play becasue its a great city and we always compete... why do we over pay like we are edmonton? we cant trade anymore young guys... our bottom line guys are worth squat and no one will give us much back for our aging core who has proven they are not worth their contracts. so MG has pretty much painted us in a corner with no way out until sedins retire or take a really big pay cut next contract and someone shows us some mercy and takes luongo...

Mike Gillis will not be fired. Anyone who thinks that fails to realize one thing he is doing very well at; which is making the Aquilini's lots of money. That alone will allow him to keep his job.

And our drafting has been good in the last few years. People just buy into the popular belief that it's not because it's not creating immediate results. And then a guy like Corrado gets called up and you realize that there is talent coming up.

Schroeder, Jensen, Gaunce, and Kassian will all be future top 6 players. And Tanev and Corrado are already proving to be blue chippers. Then you throw in Lack in the goaltending deapartment, and you realize we do have quite a bit of talent coming up.

Fans just need to be patient. The solid drafting of the last few years will start to pay dividends soon enough.
