Realtor Rod Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Only one right now I'd fire WD for is Babcock Scotty Bowman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van bc Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Todd McLellan would be the perfect coach for the canucks. Unfortunately the oilers got him. Everyone one is picking the oilers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they have some d-men that surprise and a goalie that surprises in training camp, they will be competitive but I doubt they will make the playoffs. Not impossible, but doubtful.

higgyfan Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hope he has the same results with the Oil Tankers as he did with the Sharks. Close but no cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuporbust Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Lol. Waaaay to funny of a thread.Not that I don't get the frustration , I mean my username is CUPORBUST , but get real guys. WD is a great coach. Anything other than a cup and obviously something went wrong. Any time something goes wrong there can always be an excuse to pin it on coaching , but in reality , we are just not very good. He took an aging , stale mediocre core and got them to give him a great effort , plenty of guys having career years and bounce back seasons, far exceeding expectations and making the playoffs. Wake up. we have a great coach. We were never going all the way. I'm glad he got his first NHL playoff coaching experience out of the way with a team that was never supposed to even make the post season in the first place. Give Babcock 10 million and this team still would have been golfing at some point. Hell, maybe even sooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways 1-2 years and then assess his fit with the team. I like Desjardins but would like to see how Travis Green does in the 1-2 years and maybe he can take over for Desjardins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not impossible, but doubtful. From the incredible changes I've seen in the last month with the oilers I don't believe they will have any problems getting what they want . goalie no problem. Defense no problem. world class coach no problem. World class GM no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlinkas wrister Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Brilliant. The reactionary thread to the Canucks being on the brink of elimination to the Flames was " lets go out and hire a coach who is famous for underachieving in the playoffs". CDC in a nutshell right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedins 55 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Why would we change our coach after one year. It's not his fault that our team didn't win against the flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorvat Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 He is a coach that has NEVER MISSED THE PLAYOFFS in his entire coaching career Edit: Im talking about WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
