Del Rio

What do you mean? Shorthouse and Garrett mentioned several times throughout the game that it was his last game. Even in the last 2 minutes mentioned it might be his last shift. Perhaps you were at the game and expected a show on the jumbotron? Are all 30 teams suppose to put on a special presentation for him?

other teams have, nothing much they just put him on the jumbotron and flash a message acknowledging his career.

didn't even do that, and yes i was at the game.

AV didn't have half the players Tortorella had in his first year with the Canucks...They were projected to finish last in the Western Conference...He made the playoffs

AV was fired because he couldn't get the same team torts has to win more games.

you're right, AV had the same core players who were playing much better than they are now (Sedins, Kesler, Burrows, Bieksa, Edler and Luongo were all here when he became coach) plus better players around them.

We would have missed the playoffs this year with AV as well

Whatever Im not going to get into a debate right now about who is better Torts or Gillis...They're like the chicken and the egg....Just looking forward to some new faces all round.

Who are we going to hire if we fire Gillis? Jay Feaster?

Don't forget, Gillis assembled a team that made it to the cup finals. For people who say he didn't he did. He was able to sign everyone to less than market value contracts.

He signed Mats Sundin and that literally was boss.

And for people who think he made bad trades and signings?

1) Richardson. Kassian-Richardson-Booth arguably a Stanley Cup contending third line. He brought in all 3 players

2) Ballard. Although in hindsight, it was a bad trade, at the time of the trade, everyone was ecstatic. We all thought he was a legit top 4 defensemen. I can pull up the thread and show all the positive reactions. No one would have thought he would drastically decline and fail to play well. In addition, Grabner would not have made our team if he had stayed. We had too many skilled players and we wanted to become more physical, hence the signing of raffi torres.

3) In addition, he made stellar draft picks and signings that are contributing now. Jensen, Tanev, Corrado. Not to mention Grenier, Lain, Gaunce, Horvat who have big chances of making it next year

Anyone who wants Gillis fires knows nothing about hockey.
