Neversummer Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 He's the first to go ... surprise. Should have given him a bit more time to turn it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that Rowe really sold ownership on the value of analytics and used this to justify all the moves they made in the off-season. He is also likely making Gallant the scapegoat in that he is not deploying players to their strong analytics. However, he will get in there and turn the ship around, thus proving to ownership that analytics is the only way to go. Hope he falls flat on his face.

I really hope we don't hire Tallon, Hoping we offer Thomas Drance or J.D. Burke. We could really use an analytics guy. You can't be serious? France might have some good things to say but that JD Burke kid is a complete joke. Just yesterday he tweeted horvat is not the Canucks best offensive player.

hammertime Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I wouldn't put myself on the fire WD train. I don't always agree with his decisions and his twitchyness I think would make me personally a bit uneasy as a player if I were on that bench. However I don't think he's a bad coach or the root of this teams struggle. I don't see the canucks right now as a playoff contender with or without WD. Though I do have a feeling that Gallant would be a JB type of guy to hire. He has brought a young team from the dumpster into being competitive again and was even in jack Adams discussions last season. Then had the front office deal away his defence in favor of a more open style and as a result they haven't been scoring as often as they are being scored on. I would consider him an upgrade on WD and a proven guy that can lead a young squad to contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the harry Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Better showed Rowe the door and kept Gallant. Unless they decided to tank this move makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaBamba Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Gallant is old school. I guarantee he told these little Analystic wussies to go take a hike 1 too many times. Look for Talon to make his exit soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Willie's contract is up at the end of year, he would be a nice replacement. But I'd prefer to extend Willie's stay. But Rowe can't really blame Gallant for their struggles. He has to factor in the loss of Huberdeau, Bjugstad and blowing up a great d core this past summer in which they were destined for playoff run this year. Don't know what's going to happen now I believe Willie's contract extends through 2017-2018 so he has 1 more year following this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
