One of the softest players to have ever played the game. Guy literally never went to the net. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franzen and Holmstrom dished out and received a lot more abuse though. Thats the good thing about Babcocks teams. He has players that know their roles and play them perfectly. Right now on the Canucks I see a lot of lost players. Edited February 24, 2021 by DeNiro 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing to get rid of the coaches is real, and even tho Bo said otherwise, he would never confirm it either. Team's lost under Coach Ghandi's lead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapper Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Pointless speculation ..... Canucks will not make changes so what you see will be the team for the season. we have few assists other teams would have any interest in at the trade deadline ( from the group not considered untouchable ). those with playoff value we would trade have to much of a cap hit for any serious tire kickers. we are already well into next year territory as this season is too far gone for us to come back. let’s focus on our lottery pick and playing the kids full out from here. Players like juolevi , demko , Hoglander should be top line .... starting the rest of the year. virtaneen and Miller should switch lines for now .... not because he deserves it but if we have any hope of trading him the kids gotta play top line. the season is over .... let’s focus on meaningful minutes and top line experience to speed up the player development of some of the kids. At least then the season isn’t a total loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownky Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 No. Hard no. You think the stubbornness in sticking to one approach and inability to be flexible is bad now, Travis has *nothing* on Claude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 No way do I want that scumbag teaching our young players how to play like gutless pieces of garbage. Better off getting Babcock than this waste of oxygen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New West Bruins at their peak in the Punch McLean years were a team to be feared. You didn’t play at Queen’s Park Arena before making sure you had adequate medical coverage.

A coach who has a much more impressive resume and former Stanley Cup champion winning coach. The Habs made a mistake here and I believe Jim Benning needs to move quick on this or he will be scooped up by another team. Thank you Travis for all your efforts but this team can no longer function under your command. It’s time for a change. Ha...all of us TG haters and Bashers would love nothing better....but Aquaman has spoken....nothing is going to happen...JB doesn't have the balls to go against ownership....but while we are dreaming.....lets get rid of Brown and Baum...and bring back the twins as PP coach, Juice to run the defence and Louongo as goalie coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetterssonOrPeterson Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 2 hours ago, MikeyD said: I would too. Gallant is the best coach not with a job by far right now, but Julien is still a significant upgrade. Zack's mom is still a huge upgrade. I think Julien's style of coaching is slightly "outdated" in a way where his systems aren't ideal for the modern NHL. Just my opinion even though Montreal did well at the beginning of the season, they quickly fell apart. Gallant made a crappy Florida team into a playoff team and brought the VGK to the finals. I just think he's had a short leash for some reason compared to other coaches. He's younger but also experienced and proven what he can do and even more potentially at the NHL level. I've wanted the Canucks to nab him for a while now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 It would be interesting to see compiled stats from the past 20 years that show the effect of replacing the coach during the season. Same team, different coach, how many teams did better, how many teams did worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostsOf1994 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 2 hours ago, Ghostsof1915 said: No to Gallant. 3 teams have already not hired him. And Seattle who is in position to hire him hasn't. It's clearly not his win rate. There's something else no one is talking about that teams aren't hiring him. (It could be anything. Does he want control of what players the team gets? Is he too abusive to players? A skeleton in the closet? He like's disco?) Whatever it is, if Ron Francis is not hiring him. I'd stay away. He's a screamy psychopath with alleged physical confrontations with players and staff. Allegedly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien vs canucks scf Gallant screaming at the canucks after thornton chirped the twins to do what rypien did to themselves. Not even in fantasy land will this happen.
