It was a question that you posed, not me. If we weren't assuming a truthful answer it's kind of a pointless statement isn't it. I was just replying to a member of the Willie fan club that asserted that Willie is a good coach because his players said so in interviews. I replied by injecting a bit of sarasm.

HomeBrew Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 WD is doing good things for this team: keeping a fighting mentality in the players and losing respectively for a high draft pick. Sounds like a good way to transition a team. Anything about player development and deployment, you need to bring GM JB into the discussion as well because according to him they have on going regular talks about those very topics. WD comments on Tryamkin, while untimely, were not untrue and if I was Tryamkin I would be taking "WD said I can win games for the team" quote straight to his contract negotiations.

So what do you resort to.. trying to dicredit the poster, not the post.. yup Willie sucks cause you say he does.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hands out the minutes based on how hard they work, stamina, compete level, ability and ability to learn and take on coaching. You can't see any of that, you base everything on age and favouritism, you don't see any of what goes on in the room or in practice, you don't even give credit to players own testimonies. In short you appear to be riddled with bias that sours everything you see. Obviously you have no clue how Tryamkin played in the KHL. You are far too biased wanting to think it was 100% Willie. It wasn't at all. Did he need some time to adjust to the NHL? Absolutely. Did he suddenly go from being a terrible player who needed to start putting things together to a good one under Desjardins? Nope, he was that player in the KHL long before Willie got a hold of him. That's really not debatable as fact. Keep towing the party line about giving out ice time fairly based on those things. Your coach will quietly keep proving you wrong by deploying players as top line/pairing and PP guys who have not learned or improved in his three years here and who are among the laziest defensive players on the team.

Here let me spell it out for you a little clearer.. it's not interviews that lead myself and many others to the conclusion. It's the private conversations that happen between players like bear, Grans and Shore that have me believe what they are saying.. but you can keep trying..

Salmonberries Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Say, do we know if Jason Botchford thinks Willie should be fired? If Botchford does believe Willie should be fired, then it follows that Willie deserves a contract extension. Invoke simple logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No true fan would ever resort to making fun of a coaches age or nervous ticks.. many more examples than that one .. but let's be real. It's one thing to be critical. But to outright slander and do some of the other stuff that goes on is not what a true fan of a team does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the night the lynch mob formed in here after the road win in LA was the turning point. This stuff had been bothering me for a while but that was the point where it just became surreal.

I would respond to your drivel but honestly I can agree to disagree with you. You think Willie is the greatest coach and player developer in the history of the NHL. I think he is decidedly average at both. You think our team doesn't have any players who could score goals in a less suffocating style. I think we do. We can leave it at that. Could you please point to a post where Alfstonker said " Willie is the greatest coach and player developer in the history of the NHL"? Because I've never seen that, and I would enjoy the laugh.

There is a reason why Canuck fans are known to be the worst in the league by many. There is also a reason as to why events like the riots in the 1994 and 2011 happen. Perhaps some people need to realize their role in establishing such mob mentalities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I find a good playoff riot to be a cathartic experience I must agree. We are a kooky bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Sadly the team has but one emperor, and he is not known for his patience. He is constantly surveying the mood of his subjects and given the temperature out here I fear he will call for his generals to bring him the head of Willie Desjardins post season. I'm afraid it's unavoidable at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
