xereau Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I will not be surprised to see Sutter fired from LA, and hired here. You heard it here first. Just a gut feeling I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Willie is a scapegoat for a crap team. He's not that bad of a coach. His twitchiness annoys me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahaha Oh man, you crack me up We have a team that is worthy to be challenging Colorado for the worst season in recent memory. Anybody that thinks that we're even remotely close to the playoffs (winning team) is out of their mind. This year's Canucks team featured about 10 players who couldn't crack any other lineup in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 What really grinds my gears, is Shore flew from Europe to play in Vancouver. And played that night. Jake got in from college as soon as he was eligible. Laplante gets in, is ready for his first NHL game, then the coach decides to put a crappy defenceman in as forward instead. Is WD really on the same page as Benning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 my vote would be to keep willie for another year. the team is in transistion so i doubt another coach is going to be anymore successful that willie may be next year. at least give him a couple of months next year. i want to see him coach with a healthy line up with improved play from young and old. if he can't get them playing inspiring hockey then make a change.

Is WD really on the same page as Benning? honestly how do you read a move like that? Had Willie not gone for that idiotic coaches challenge, I might have thought he was on team tank. But with making that move the scary conclusion is he figured Larsen as a F was the better move.... let that sink in..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing Willie has done has shown any change in his style or decision making. No, better to start with a new coach and new systems heading into the year instead of scrambling mid-season, that would be harder on the kids development imo.

CroSen Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I would be fine if Willie was still coaching next year. The team over all seems engaged, and his work with the young players has been solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why bother playing Larsen for 12 shifts? What possible benefit is there? With Laplante, maybe you get a look at a prospect, see where he's at, etc. All we know is Larsen is bad at two things.
