RU SERIOUS Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 It will be interesting to see how many of Aqua-Lini's "Suits" he places in the stairwells of the lower bowl to quickly run-out and rip protest signs out of people hands tonight (like the last game) before they are captured on TV. What a classless organization. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short of it being a widely respected guy like Trotz most coaches walking in would have a hard time given how loved Bruce has been. It being Tocchet with all his baggage, his Pittsburgh connections, and so on just paints a bigger target on his back. After all the emotion fades, I think this could end up being the right decision our single biggest problem has been attitude. JR called it from the first day - it’s a country club environment. I love Bruce but he’s too good of a human. We need real accountability, practice habits, high expectations. I don’t know if tocchet will make us a high performing team before he is replaced too, but I’m pretty sure the locker room will be completely different after his tenure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people are upset but Gaining Tochett, Gonchar and Foote over King and Yeo.....guys why aren't we happier. This is epic.. Because Tocchet more than cancels out any upgrade. He's a locker room cancer and career criminal, and as such is not welcome here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a classless organization. Sat Shaw being very critical of our owner’s hiring of Boudreau (for a two year contract) before hiring JR. And when hiring JR telling him Boudreau is only hired for one year. I wonder if Aquilini tries to get Sat Shaw fired? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans are just respecting Bruce. They’re sending a message to ownership and management that they/we have Bruce’s back and we don’t agree with their decision. f**king tone deaf organization. Saw earlier on Twitter a repost by Wyatt Arendt of a comment made that the Canucks Management are aware of how badly their treatment of Bruce has made the Organization look but they just don't care… disgusting no players are going to want to come here. If they didn't already have a coach basically hired I doubt any quality coaches would want to come into this mess of a team. How are we supposed to have faith that this management group can build a winning team after witnessing their incompetence in this situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilduce39 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I like the sound of Gonchar and Foote as assistants, based on their names. Looking closer: Gonchar won a few cups working with the D in Pittsburgh. Foote was a lacklustre run as head coach with the Kelowna Rockets. Both have been out of the game since 2020. Tocchet was done in 2021. Certainly not a slam dunk for success, but I do like that they’ve had a few years to reflect and grow. Will eat up some time while Colliton marinates in Abby at least.

Moving on from Bruce isn't the wrong move, how they've approached going about handling that transition this season has been a mountain of flaming tires encircling a circus though. They could have shut their trap and just ridden things out, most fans knew he wasn't coming back. The fanbase is pushing back against how he's been treated because of how he's been treated not because they think he's in the running for a Jack Adams. Tocchet was a shit choice, no bones about it. We probably could have done better if we'd been patient, bringing in a new coach isn't going to fix anything at this point in the season.
