They are not playing for him, they were knocking their guts out for the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They signed a contract to get him out of Russia that allowed him to say NO. Good thing he did too, he was a bright spot in a dumpster of a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went against what his boss wanted him to do. He chose to do it his way and it ended up in the ultimate "you should not $&!# where you eat" moment. Benning called him on it. It happens. You keep saying that. There was no proof of that judging by the players on ice and their ice time. Maybe Linden should have taken the coaching job himself if he thought he could do better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been fiercely loyal to the org, gets the most out of his players and many of the players already know him well and what he expects. It's time for Green to come to the NHL and the canucks should reward him for his service. That said, I could see an associate coach situation with Jarvis this is my gut feeling too, the timing of the contracts is a big coincidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing he did too, he was a bright spot in a dumpster of a season Yeah people giving Willie credit for tryamkin is one of the most baffling things I've seen. Willie didn't want him and he refused to go to the AHL. He only got into the lineup because guds got hurt. Then it was tryamkin turning himself into an NHL player and proving Willie wrong. I won't credit Willie for that because that was all tryamkin and him believing in himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinky-Winky Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Theres a few good coaches avail, and this time we need a experience one and with a proven track record . if we have another horrible season, not sure the reaction of the fans will be, but doubt it will be good. Gerrard Gallant i feel would fit in well, but if not him theres others ( i really hope its not green ) he be a good assistance, but has no track record or experience .....just keep our fingers crossed in the next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 20 minutes ago, Sweathog said: And that's what a lot of people don't understand, you have to develop your kids gradually. You can't just plunk a prospect into the lineup and expect 30 goals. Perhaps you should talk to the people asking questions in the presser because that's all they keep asking. I mean, seriously, how many f***ing times can you ask about "will the next coach be on board with developing young players?". It's like they just want to hear themselves talk.

4thLineGrinder Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 10 minutes ago, alfstonker said: Agreed but it's not even about goals though, both Goldy and Boeser were doing well in that area. It is about equipping a youngster to stay in the NHL. Coaching the details, the importance of defence and the 200ft game and building your body, stamina, and compete level to match your skill. Goldy was weak on the puck, Boeser lacked speed, Molino lacked size, Boucher lacked compete and defensive awareness. Nevertheless Willie was playing them, but he was playing them his way, the way that would be best for them in the long run. He was doing the same for Gaunce and LaBate. Linden and Benning, neither of whom are/have been coaches should have been aware of this based on Willies rep. The fact they allowed themselves to bow to the uneducated masses/media shows a lack of conviction in their own judgement and basically a lack of guts imo. i love all the hate you get on here for speaking truth to fools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
