To be honest, I was more ticked off at Crawford for not using Gretzky in the shootout @ Nagano.

Hmmmm, good move. Gretzky was a jerk that never signed with Vancouver. Apparently he got annoyed that Pat Quinn called him twice or something? So we ended up with Messier? I had a look at the 1998 roster... not a single Canuck on that roster. Blame it on the OLD BOYS CLUB! 

 

Even Messier didn't make that team lol... Canucks have been hated on for decades I guess. 

 

Fun Fact:

Team Canada’s Olympic roster was selected by Bobby Clarke, who was then general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers. Eric Lindros was named captain over longtime leaders such as Wayne Gretzky, Steve Yzerman, and Ray Bourque.^[2] Rob Zamuner was a surprise pick, while Mark Messier and Scott Niedermayer were omitted.^[3]

Well Linden was on that team. He has always been a Canuck at heart.

 

No one on the Canucks really deserved to be on Team Canada that year though (even Messier).

Doug Weight was just hired so I doubt he gets canned this season. If things turn into a disaster, it'll be Garth Snow that's axed over Doug Weight.

 

Really don't like the tandem of Cheveldyoff and Maurice running things in Winnipeg. Chevy's distain for trading is what is holding back the Jets from being something truly special. If I'm not mistaken, the Jets have only made a small handful of trades since Chevy took over and the "big" trade was the Kane/Myers deal that really only occurred because Kane was such a nightmare for the Jets on a personnel level. Although before Chevy/Maurice got contract extensions this summer, I won't be shocked if that's the tandem that gets fired if the Jets sink into oblivion yet again.

 

I also will be shocked if DeBoer makes it through the season. And I can see Hakstol being on thin ice too in Philly.

 

A question I have is that if these guys get fired, who replaces them? Can Willie D get another coaching job? Lots of intrigue going forward.

 

All that's certain, from a Canucks perspective, is that Greener will be us for the next few years -- and I'm OK with that.

[WHL rocks]

WPG ownership and mgmt are known to be very patient, but I think Maurice will be let go if Jets struggle and don't make the playoffs this year even though he recently signed a contract extension. 

 

I'll pick Deboer to go first.

[Alflives]

Julienne.  Habs are off slow, and really aren't very good.  I think both coach and GM get Gaston's Axe.

I hope Leafs lose 50 in a row and it's Babcock. I don't like him. POS benched Luongo in Sochi. If Backstrom wasn't forced to sit out or Sweden had Henrik healthy, Price would have been lit up for 20 goals.

You never cease to amaze.

 

As for the actual topic, Julien is my pick this far into the season.

[cripplereh]

hard one to say but me I took Doug Weight

 

to early to see how GM's will see it

[BowtieCanuck]

My money on DeBoer. San Jose just feels like a team beginning their downturn this season.

If it's green i will purchase the Vancouver Canucks and make them hire him back

You can always buy the team now if you have that kind of cash.

That kind of money only lasts about 10 minutes in Vancouver though

Its just nice to see that for once a Canucks coach is not on the list.

 

yeah i wonder why

it's already been 2 games

some were wanting him fired before the first game though

kinda a man crush thing on boeser i think was the catalyst

[samurai]

should be asking about GMs instead.  

[Alflives]

With the Ranger’s horrific start (losing 0-3 at home tonight too) could AV be on the hot Seat?

He shouldn't be.

 

The GM should get the boot for assembling such an average team.

Maybe, but AV is in the first domino position, isn’t he?  Maybe the Rangers fire AV, the Habs fire Julien, and both get rehired by the other team?  It’s happened before. 

[ChuckNORRIS4Cup]

Other = AV

Yup.   Or possibly Claude Julien

[189lb enforcers?]

AV will coach the Canadiens.

[johngould21]

I'm surprised that MB still has a job, that's his team, not CJ's.
