UFCanuck Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I honestly hate it too, I have never used it, I've never stated that we have choked until this year, I mean even the finals, we were up 2 Games, the Bruins won 4 out of 5 games, and in such a dominating fashion, it was a choke. This year we completely choked against LA, we weren't motivated, didn't show any determination, we sat back and tried to force things, we had no attack and LA picked us apart, they were way better, it wasn't even close. And there success was mainly because of coaching, Sutter got the best out of his team, got the best out of every player, and has continued to do so and our was completely unmotivated and this team choked big time.

skates_with_a_stick Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I keep on seeing comments about a new voice. I would like to know where they are getting their locker news from. If they have some inside info on what goes on in the Canucks locker, we need to hear this!! I can't see them firing AV over an early exit. How can they drop a successful coach? He isn't done, he just needs to re-think his box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 He's an awesome GM. This is a no-brainer. A little bit of luck on his side, but everyone needs that. Can you imagine if Sundin had signed for 2 years @10 mill? That would have caused some re-signing problems for this team. Go Gillis! AV sure as hell doesn't deserve an extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 We didn't choke this year. We were in every game, we were never blown out. But L.A was just a bit better than us. St.Louis however, letting in 4 goals in 1 period and getting swept, now that was a choke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanIslander89 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Excellent! Mike is a fantastic general manager, and can continue to build off the sucsess that he and managment have put together for years to come. We have an amazing team, and I think some take it for granted. We are a top contender, team's compare themselves playing against us, and we are looking better for the future after every draft. Very happy with this! I suspect a 1 year contract extension for A.V announced later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithers joe Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 gillis has already stated that he wanted AV as his coach....i'm glad about that....AV is an excellent coach, regardless of what some posters think.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tru_Knyte Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Not surprised. Pretty sure Gillis is going to stay the course and renew AV as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaBestPlaceOnEarth Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I dunno...Gillis and Vigneault had a year left on their deals, why not see whether they can keep it together next season before making a decision? I guess the Aquilinis can afford to eat it if things go south though so they may as well give everyone that vote of confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I don't see any situation where AV being fired happens. MG has stuck by AV from day one, to decide now to let him go would essentially be admitting you've made a mistake everytime you backed your coach. As an owner, how do you extend a guy who has failed to correct a problem that has been around since day one. One may argue that ownership steps in and demands AV be fired...but that too would just be showing MG that they don't support his vision of the team....again why extend your GM's contract if you don't support the same vision? AV will be back behind the bench next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 "The decision will be mine." - Gillis on coach AV. Canucks GM Mike Gillis won't comment on length of his contract. Says first thing on agenda to executive will be Vigneault's future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
