Pete M Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 His record speaks for itself...another president trophy and last year SCF. Prior to that the Rangers weren't even on the radar. Jack Adams should have his name on it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Zamboni Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 always a bridesmaid never a bride. i think AV is a great coach....but he has to win the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriGold Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 It's hard to go against Bob Hartley in my opinion. Did a hell of a job with a lack luster roster full of rookies and injury prone forwards. He got the most he could out of that roster and got them to play way above anybody expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 WD should at least be in consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 It shouldn't even be up for discussion. I hate Hartley but he's the runaway winner. NYR was supposed to succeed on paper. Vancouver was supposed to succeed. Flames... Should have ended in the cellar yet they're battling without their captain. Hartley should win it... In a land slide.

AriGold Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 WD should at least be in consideration. Not a chance.. Vigneault, Cooper, Hartley are the top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Not a chance.. Vigneault, Cooper, Hartley are the top 3. Laviolette instead of Cooper. Cooper and WD will be the 4th and 5th, most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 AV coach of the past half decade Anyway, if Ottawa makes the playoffs there will be another candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deets Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 AV deserves recognition for one of the great coaches in the league. It was a mistake letting him go, even though I am pleased with WD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Why Hartley over WD? Both took crap teams of similar stature and turned them around, getting similar results.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I say AV over Hartley. Coached the Rangers into the playoffs, won another Presidents Trophy, rejuvenated Nash, and is likely in for another deep playoff run. Hard to compete with all the accolades IMO.

MadOgre Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 AV deserves recognition for one of the great coaches in the league. It was a mistake letting him go, even though I am pleased with WD. I don't think so. AV will soon have a record that shows something about his coaching abilities. 3 Presidents Trophies and 0 Stanley Cups AV just does not know how to coach Stanley Cup playoff style defense. He is an excellent offensive coach but not the coach to get you the big SC ! It was painful going from AV to Torts, but now with WD we finally have a coach that truly understands what it takes to get it done in the playoffs. Even if we don't have the team to get it done this year I think everyone will soon realize that WD knows hockey. Playoff Hockey ! I said in 2011 and ill say it now AVs playoff hockey will never win a Stanley Cup, ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadOgre Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Not to mention that AV was solely responsible for starting the whole goalie controversy in the first place. That alone is worth a freakin trophy for being the biggest "Dumb Ass of the Year" award. There are a lot of holes in AVs game come every April. The only reason we went to the finals in 2011 was because our team was stacked beyond belief. Almost any other coach would have a SC ring on his hand with the team we had that year.

MadOgre Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 And 2012 ??? There just are no excuses for that at all. Totally arrogantly unprepared. Most embarrassing moment in Canucks history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadOgre Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The only reason AV went to the finals last year is because he's coaching in the east. he wouldn't be getting past the first or second rounds in the West and we wouldn't even be discussing him !
