I like to thank A.V for the what happened in 2007. WE came in as a weak team, potential 8th place team, that battled Dallas in what we call an on going chess match. one of the most memorable series Vancouver history.
Under A.V we had our first 4 game sweep of the Blues in 2009.
We also had our first presidents trophy under A.V on top of that, our first Selke winner under him.
Under A.V we had a monster 2011 season, were we ran away with the Presidents trophy. first time in franchice history, we finished number 1 in goals scored best defensive team, top powerplay and almost the best penalty killing team in the leauge.
We almost won the Stanley cup in 2011, we followed it up again with another Presdidents trophy.
A.V is one of the best coaches to ever coach our team. Of course Patt Quinn is always the best, but he needs to be recognized for the things he's done. Jack Adams winner. A.V pretty much won everything he could.....
but a Stanley cup.
Whoever hires him next has got themselves a good coach.
Rumors had it, that Pittsburgh wanted to hire him back in 2006. But because we needed to be compensated, Pittsburgh hired Therrien.
Good luck. A.V. Friendly guy to the media.
