I don't know about you but I find the Islanders Model very entertaining

I wouldn't get your my up even if Bylsma is fired there's still other teams with a head coaching job open. If Bylsma is indeed in the market he's going to be the hottest available head coach this season. In other words even if Linden or <insert new GM> has Bylsma as their #1 choice, Bylsma will have other offers and may not even have the Cancuks as his preferred destination.

It's probably a good thing that Mike Gillis is out or else fans would be coming to his place with pitch forks Didn't Ovi play after his 2nd round exit in 2011? Edit: 2012?

I just realized Horvat was ranked 15 in Central Scouting for NA Skaters, how did he end up so high? Then again Shinkaruk was ranked 7th.

there's a reason why it's called a Summer home, it's because he uses it during the summer and not during the Hockey season

Though a Weise in a roster couldn't hurt

Simmonds would look so good on a Canucks Uniform ... oh wait he could have

Question if somehow LA Manages to win Game 7, let's assume Todd McLellan is fired. Would he be a good option to replace Torts as the Canucks head coach?

Crosby and Malkin didn't have any points in games 6 and 7 in the finals. Flurey only let in 2 goals in both games to win them the cup. Luongo, with all due respect, let in 6 goals in games 6 and 7. I am not putting down Lu, but Flurey performed when it mattered the most.

Canucks hiring Tortz vindicated!!!

Fleury has a cup

But if Sharks win and eventually the Cup. That means Canucks will no longer have a companion of being a team known for choking in the playoffs. Would you want that, Canucks being the only team in the league known as playoff chokers

Plus disallowed goals have benefited the Bolts in Playoff hockey before. So it happens

But I thought earlier this season AV was a terrible coach and was running The Rangers to the ground and Torts was the coach that gives a team its identity

Weise Scores the OT goal for MTL AV's NYR dominates PHI Canucks fans implode?

Garrison + Booth + 6th overall to Florida

How is that the biggest mistake? When that was still fresh people were 50-50 on what he did. I'd say if Canucks were in the playoffs people would be commending Torts for doing that showing he was sticking up for his team.

http://forum.canucks.com/topic/352351-pgt-canucks-3-2-flyers/ Just to quote some of the posts here Popular 5+ post * he referring to Torts

Kassian isn't worth a first rounder. He's a 20 point player with a 122 PIM, at most he can probably land a 2nd round pick or a 3rd liner/fringe 2nd liner player

1.5 Million for 2 years? I'd take that. My understanding is that Canucks still need to resign Santorelli, Schoreder, and Tanev next season. Santorelli is a hometown boy so I can see him take a hometown discount for a 1 Way Contract (1.75 Million for 3 years NTC ) Tanev is a must sign I can will probably command 2 to 3 Million for next season. Schoreder is the question mark, I seriously don't know what to make of him next season. Scary part is if all those signings do come to fruition, that leaves the Canucks 5 Million Left in Cap Space. Which is not exactly a lot seeing how large of a contract maybe Canucks can sign Jagr for 4.5 Million / 1 Yr next season Burrows - H. Sedin - Jensen D. Sedin - Kesler - Jagr Higgins - Matthias - Kassian Richardson - Santorelli - Hansen Oh buy out Booth!!! That's a pretty deep team with a good chance of winning the cup, of course goal tending is a bit suspect. Even if the team doesn't do well next season this can be a transitional season in which next season Horvat, Guance, Shinkaruk, all get a chance.

I don't think the Canucks will make it to the playoffs I am just trying to find the positives the team can build on for next year. And by gosh Jensen is one big positive and pretty excited in what this kid can do the coming seasons.

Eh if the rumors were true he'd probably get fired for this anyways.

You know there are fans that aren't season ticket holders, why is he only answering to them?

Hey maybe it's not a bad thing, if management does the rebuild right the team can be a playoff/cup contender team in one or two years time. Remember the Indianapolis Colts from the NFL after collapsing the whole season not too long ago, they traded away their core and were able to become a playoff team again.
