JM_ Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 is 1/2 a shortened season enough to earn a head coaching job.... it is if you're Burr and your face is hanging in an arena somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Congrats Burr, one the hardest workers in pro sports, just wished he signed with the canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Gallant sounds French!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come Frankie pull the trigger???????????????????????????? Despite CDC's love for Gallant. Other teams have hired coaches since he's been fired. And no one is talking about his departure from two teams. So what is really going on with him? Ron Francis is a pretty shrewd guy for Seattle GM. If Gallant hasn't been hired by him, I think it's what people aren't saying that worries me. If it was purely results there's nothing wrong. But there seems to be something more there that no one is talking about. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burr was doing what it took to get a path to the NHL. He's paid his dues as an assistant coach in the AHL with Laval. Something that he who shall be nameless, refuses to do even though he wants to be a coach or executive in the NHL. Dare I say it Manny and Burr would be a great coaching tandem with Vancouver?

If there's a guy you need to model yourself after it's Burr. Worked his way into the NHL the hard way. Never gave up. And was part of one of the best lines in the Vancouver Canucks. Burr = hard work. If his coaching the same as his playing, he's going to be head coach in the NHL some day. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -DLC- Posted February 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2021 Damn....Burr deserves this, just wish we were creative enough to see some of the talent we have within. Manny, Burr, Bieksa. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy, Burr and maybe hire Lappy for extra "support" (with Rooster waiting in the wings). Can you imagine what that bench would be like during an on ice "dispute"? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny, Burr, Bieksa. In Burr's case, I think coaching for the Canadiens is a dream. He grew up loving that team; it's his homeland. I can see him eventually getting the #1 job in Montreal and then (as with all coaches) he will be fired and head over to Vancouver. So happy for him. What a tremendous career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Good for Burrows. I would've loved to see him here but instead we have an AHL defenceman coaching our D, a Brown stain on our powerplay, and an incompetent head coach that can't adjust. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.BRR Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 How great for burrs. Wish it was with the Canucks but I’m happy for him, one of my all time favorites. Do Canucks hire Claude?? No quarantine being already in Canada?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwijibo Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Only on CDC does Montreal firing their head coach and assistant coach become all about them adding Burrows as an assistant coach. Lol. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Wow, a bit premature, Julien dragged a basic team on paper pretty far last season and started strong this year and one little losing streak and he's gone. They're still in the playoff picture and not that far off the top. Big mistake by them, they might really crumble now with little experience behind the bench. Meanwhile the Canucks go the other way, wait so long that the season is no longer salvagable but hopefully we don't suck so bad for so long that this damages our young players future confidence. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Really? What if we hired a Montreal legend or dare I say a Toronto legend like Wendell Clark as an assistant, those markets would lose their mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not premature at all. They’re an excellent even strength team but have been abysmal on special teams since he took over. He’s had years to fix the problems snd hasnt. This firing is overdue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
