Travis Green has a better career points percentage as a head coach than Rick Tocchet And Willie D has a better winning % than Green. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We often lay blame for bad decisions on our management, but it sure looks like it’s more our owner who is pulling the strings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rekker Posted January 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2023 New lows for this organization are coming, just feels like the worst is brewing. Why fire BB before the season is done? Makes no sense. Just lose for draft position, as that's all this team can accomplish as constructed. The new coach win bump shows just how out of touch management and ownership is. I watch now for the entertainment, but I have literally lost all faith in this club and the tools running it. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don’t our players pretty much like BB? Hell, who knows what our owner is thinking? Maybe he’s hiring Tocchet to coach through a bottom diving retool?

Popular Post Provost Posted January 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) According to the reports he has been hired and has given his notice at TNT. The report was that he was likely hired 10 days ago when JR and Aquilini met him in Vegas. Another shitty move by this regime if true. At least have the class to fire Boudreau and use an interim for the next few weeks. Don’t let him hear all these reports while still trying to get the team to win. https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/mid-season-change-rick-tocchet?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR1PJ4iq6zsgYC_XVAvKJeq9V_x5doM2SuOO9YeVZU9RZvcpBAkgkr1adUA&mibextid=Zxz2cZ#Echobox=1673795941 Edited January 15, 2023 by Provost 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once OEL is traded we will bring in Barry Trotz. This is 5D chess from JR really... Clearly a more likely scenario than this management group being as incompetent as the last… Edited January 15, 2023 by Provost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids need to learn fundamentals before they can flourish and this ship finally turns around. They definitely need a systems coach..........if they fire BB in season, I hope it's Cull taking over to finish the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Yeo till summer tochet in the summer Not sure any self respecting good coach will come here and have their reputation ruined by an idiot owners crap plan. we are in the terrible franchise category now among players and coaches and management. Francesco has to be removed from anything to do with the hockey team before we can improve anything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bad sign that there are many of us complete yahoos that seem to actually have a better record of judgement than our last two regimes. I wish this hire was a sign that we are going to bottom out, but I don't expect the hoped for exodus of contracts in trades for futures that should go along with it. Frankly, it needs to be move as many players as possible this season and the offseason... anyone that can possibly be moved including Petterson, Hughes, or Demko who were previously the untouchable new core. Most moves are going to have to wait until after next season when the cap is likely going to be making a large jump and teams will have money to spend. Hopefully the PA and league come to an agreement to even out the cap raise and inject some money into it this coming year. Right now it is planned as a $1 million rise and then probably $5 million plus the season after and another big jump the year after if you follow the calculation and estimated revenue. I think there is a decent chance the PA agrees to make it a $2-3 million bump this offseason. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaching is the only, position Francesco hasn't done and he should be man enough to coach the roster, he helped build up...

MeanSeanBean Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 It's going to be completely unacceptable if we hire a new coach mid season and see some sort of bump in points. It litterally does no good and only hurts this team long term. Unbelievable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Knows Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 If Tocchet really is the next coaching choice, can someone PLEASE tell me why management would want to hire a guy with a losing coaching record to coach a losing team? We really are a badly run organization !!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
