Snake Doctor Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Do you think Pat Quinn or Marc Crawford could come back and take the head coaching job in Vancouver? If so, would they be effective. The Blue Jays brought back John Gibbons and this year they are playing much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Could be a million people at this point in time. No point in speculating really cause it won't mean anything if you know what I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I know a lot of people hate him, but I would welcome Crawford back. I still think he's a great coach. Of that list though, I have a feeling that Trotz is most likely to get the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Are you serious about Quinn as a possible choice? Guy can hardly walk without a walker for his ring of honour ceremony. Respect Quinn but to quote the outgoing coach this is a 'young man's game' ... a bit of truth even in the coaching position.Your list is terrible! No retread coaches, find a young and upcoming, let the team grow with him. Blashill if Det gives Linden permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo Chili Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Crawford or the sharks coach if he gets fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steen Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I would love to see Crow back, but Trotz or McLellan are interesting ideas. I'd hope they could get the team playing a style they're suited for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me_ Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The Bertuzzi file. Crawford or anyone involved in that incident are staying away from Vancouver, including Bertuzzi himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Quinn is too old. I think Crow is going to get very serious consideration. McLellan and Trotz should also get a full shot to prove their case....I think both are good coaches and impressive as people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMR Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Rumors were Crow was a hard nosed coach and pushed the team hard. Will players see that as good thing after Torts? Quinn is to old to coach, I would see him more of adviser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thundernuts Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I love Pat Quinn. However, after seeing him at his last few public appearances, he is in now shape to be coaching. I'm also a Crawfoed fan, and I hope he gets another crack at the NHL (San Jose???), but we've been there and done that. It's time for someone new.

GB5 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I'd like to see Crawford back, the team played an exciting style of hockey under his leadership. As for Trotz, he's a good coach but not a fit for this team. Guletsin (sp?) anyway, the other Canucks assistant is still around I think and may get a look as well.

Neversummer Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 For those who wants Crawford, what are you smoking? No more candidates for coaches who are riding on winning a Stanley Cup 10+ years ago.Just for those who have short memory. After Crawford left Vancouver, he went to LA for 2 seasons, missed playoffs for both and was fired. Then he went to Dallas for 2 seasons and missed playoffs for both and was fired.Seriously, what is it about Crawford that you've seen that gets you all excited about having him come back?

Caledonian Canuck Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I agree that Pat Quinn (with the greatest of respect and affection) is now too old to coach again and I don't think bringing Crawford back would be a wise move. I'd like to see Dan Bylsma or Mike Babcock coming here, but that would be dependent on one being sacked. I'm not at all sure about any of the Assistant Coaches in the NHL, but maybe there is an Assistant somewhere who is ready to move up to Head Coach. Is there a young(ish) former Head Coach who might be available? Someone who knows how to organise a Power Play would be a good start!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagorim Jarg Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Didn't Marc Crawford also inherit the likes of Dan Cloutier, and the LA Kings just weren't very good at the time. When coaching the Stars, he took over a bottom feeder and in his second year coached them to 42-29-11, which is better than the Canucks this year. The team missed the playoffs by 2 points but he got fired anyway. Crawford is a good coach, you CAN'T BLAME EVERYTHING ON A COACH. The WCE era were some of the most exciting Canucks hockey I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
