goal: thecup is doing the chicago game on tuesday. I'm more than likely going to break from doing gdt until after the allstar game. Not feeling a lot of love for the canucks organization right now, i wanted them to tank for bedard anyway but i also want them to tank as jr is clueless and tocchet gets to wear some blame for accepting the role in such circumstances. Maybe tocchet will force some changes (some players need to go) but this mess makes it harder for us to bring in talent.

He is a likeable fellow, deserved to see one full season. Enjoy a paid vacation. Stillman loves you.

Should they just sit Bo Horvat until they trade him?

I wish we had a tank emoji -
I hope he realizes that he has 2 1/2 years. That right now his job is to tank, help move out as many veterans as he can for picks or good young players. He can work with the new d guys and abby guys on grit. I don't think he's the right coach for bedard but maybe he can add the grit needed. I hold little hope, jr is a terrible president. Hard to feel any joy except with us seriously losing nearly every remaining game. I have feasted on vengeance before...

I didn't realize how bad jr was considered by the canes and pens https://thehockeywriters.com/penguins-rutherford-poor-decision-making-effects/ https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2042739-jim-rutherford-leaves-behind-complicated-legacy-with-carolina-hurricanes.amp.html

[PGT] Edmonton Oilers at Vancouver Canucks | Jan. 21, 2023

That reads like a tocchet press release. Tocchet won the cup as a player in 1992 and made the playoffs in the covid play-in season only. He's now 58. Rod won the cup in 2006 and was a first time coach at 48. I know which coach i'd take. I'm giving tocchet zero slack, you take over mid season and sign up to work under JR then you get it all. You ruin the tank for meaningless wins then screw you. -

I'll read/watch the press conferences but strongly thinking of skipping the games until after the ASG -

So glad they hired a young innovative coach with a proven success record ... AV was definitely a good hire but he was also 45, not 58. -
I made this table this morning when i saw Tocchet's age...not exactly fresh blood, in fact the second oldest we had after Bruce. Past performance doesn't indicate future success but there's a strong correlation. AV is pretty much the outlier. Quinn was younger than i thought when he became head coach.

I don't think i've ever seen a firing handled worse. There's more dignity from the jaguars firing that jerk urban meyer. The absolutely comical jacksonville jaguars did it better. I'm fine with firing them now. I doubt their expertise in so many ways. I don't think they will trade well, i don't think they'll go for the tank. Fire them all, put someone decent in charge. A brian burke type or someone with respect but then again who wants to come here now. I hope the players give up now and tank hard. They've now got a great excuse to do so without harming their next contract.
