I would have respected your post more if you had not turned it into another ludicrous "bash Willie" thread. You can hardly compare a coach in his 3rd year and going through a rebuild where we had virtually nothing in our farm team to a coach who has been around for 15 years and with a Club who had been a middle league team for the past 6 years.

 

Even your "injury comparison" is silly. Torts had experienced players with the exception of Jensen to carry the Canucks while Willie has had to rely heavily on inexperienced rookies.

Honestly, I don't see this as a "bash" Willie post, the comparison was related to the posters who blamed Tort's for the bad season when it was remarkable the team got as many points as it did. Sedins out for over 20 games and playing injured, Edler out, Tanev out, Burrows out, Kesler on the mend and out and he got Kassian, Booth and Richardson playing like a second line, the compressed schedule with no practice time available, sticking up for his players the way he did. No it isn't a "bash" Willie post, it is a post that points out it wasn't Tort's as much as the team.
