MJDDawg Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I seem to recall many similar sounding posts trying to justify why AV should have been fired. I think that if Trev and JB want to make a change, they'll wait until the offseason to do it. This team is not the Penguins, where a change of voice in the room mid-season will make an immediate difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the idea was to be competitive, and Willies got this team wound up so tight they're the worst offence in the league. That just doesn't match up with the players we have, I'm not saying we'd be #1, but no way is this group of guys this bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocksterh8 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I say: Fire the entire roster and keep Willy that aught to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaBamba Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 9 hours ago, S'all Good Man said: I've seen enough. I do not believe that Willie has the ability to turn this around for several reasons: 1. You can't get any more effort out of these guys. 2. The kids are not being played enough. 3. Willie is convinced the only way with this team is winning 1-0 or 2-1 games. So, in that spirit, how many more losses will it take for a coaching change, and who should replace Willie? And for the Willie supporters (you know who you are), please elaborate on why this guy with this system is a good idea and why it should be stuck with instead of just trashing people who want a change. Why isnt Ralph Krueger an option? I demand an explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look this up - the coach that surprised everyone with how he handled Team Europe. He was also head coach briefly for the Oilers, who they replaced with Eakins... Sure, why not?

He's being paid a fortune to run a soccer team over here in the UK, and is doing very well. His return to hockey, albeit temporarily, was a huge surprise - but I doubt he'd be allowed to walk back to the NHL during the Premier League season. If the Canucks wanted him, we'd likely need to wait until the end of the NHL season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks need a proven winner who can take control of the room, a vet of sorts. Gotta reach outside the organization, not within. With all due respect, YOU have not won 1 game in the NHL. Doug Jarvis can't win 1 game in the NHL as head coach because he hasn't even been put in that spot. The North Stars weren't part of the NHL? Sure they've long since been a defunct team... that still counts for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody who has had the reigns and can control a room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck_Fan_52 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 WD would have been gone by now if they did not have the early season comeback success. If they lose every game this road trip, I wouldn't be surprised if the road trip ends with the team returning minus WD or he'll be dismissed as soon as they touchdown in Vancouver at the conclusion.

I'd really like to know - his plan must be brilliant and ready to gel anytime now. Whining after a game where his team outshot the NHL's top club 42-22. Do you want him to shoot the puck as well? Anyhow, inform yourself first regarding what he's actually doing and then I might take your protests seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
