The coach that played Megna, Chaput, and Larsen over promising young players? Yep that guy deserves a pass... What was Willie going to do in year four that he didn't do in two out of his three years here? Sometimes change is necessary, even if it isn't all Willie's fault. Accept it and move on.

grumpworsley Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 First time President First time GM First time NHL coach ... A roster of rookie/young players....An unrealistic goal of making the playoffs vs the pressure on an inexperienced coach go win games as well as develop youth players. Something had to give and it Was not going to be Linden. So kind of predictable, I am not sure how going to TG will change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so much they can do with a lack of young talent and contracts that are not performing to their value. I expect Linden to be Linden, not be a prostitute or politician. He could have admitted that they delayed so long that they were unprepared to have a competitive team. I just don't like excuses. He said it as if it were a big deal. Did the Canucks miss the 5 combined goals of Dorsett and Guddy? As if Rodin was an NHL'er anyways. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well guess not but would be nice if you left with lil Willy Oh we'll "need" him to crap on whoever the next coach is and tell us all how Willie woulda dun it better. In all his self congratulatory posting he's never actually made a real point regarding Willie's value vs any NHL ready coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how fans whine about how good Toronto and Edmonton are now, but don't want to go through the painful years that they had to go through to get there. Who are these fans? I've read that a few times in here. I've never heard a fan say this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accept it and move on. because he was playing the long game just would have been nice to see what he could do with a legit roster is all, you said your self the our roster was total crap so i don't think we have the full picture of what his true potential is. Could be he never coaches again, or maybe he goes to dallas to kick the crap out of us for years to come and has a stanley cup ring before we even make it back to the payoffs?

Baggins Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 53 minutes ago, nucksnavsfan said: Before the trade deadline when they said that they would not ask any players with a NTC to move and then they ended up trading 2 guys with ntc's , it was explained that they did that to protect the players from media scrutiny and allow them to focus on playing. So the ' lying' was done as was way to protect their players. I am ok with that as long as they come clean with an explanation like they did in that case. Actually they said they wouldn't ask players to waive their ntc, not that they would ask them to move. Splitting hairs perhaps but in both cases the players weren't actually asked to waive their ntc's. Hansen didn't need to be asked to waive, he had a limited ntc. Meaning they could ask for his list at any time as stipulated in his contract. Now if none on that list were interested, they'd have had to ask him to waive to go to a team not on the list. But that never happened. Burrows said they asked him what he wanted to do. He said he'd move if it helped the team and worked for him and his family. Burrows said was never actually asked for a list. Ottawa was a team showing real interest and Burrows talked to his wife and agreed Ottawa would work for them. Again splitting hairs but is asking him what he wants to do the same as asking him to waive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGAME Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Team 1040 is a cancer to the Vancouver hockey market. These guys are a ****ing joke. If anything needs a rebuild it's that joke of a staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get what you're upset about - he said 1/2 of the 460 days lost were 3 guys.. that just a fact. As much as I wanted Wilbrod gone, I think Linden showed a lot of class not taking a rip at him on the way out. And they did miss a healthy Guddy and Dorsett. Compare that to Larsen and Chaput.
