Look closely at the Canucks fans faces in the crowd when the TV camera pans in.  The look of dejection and despair is beyond description.  So sad to see how bad Aqua-Lini has ruined and betrayed this team and it's fans.

Why bring Aqua into this? He just signs the checks and is busy with his main business of selling homes..  its the mangment that runs the team

People hating on tocchet because of the circumstances surrounding his hiring.

 

Realistically none of us know if he's going to be a good coach or not. Here's some stuff that I think seems likely:

- For better or worse, he's more likely to expect players to play within a regimented system, and will have a far lower tolerance for mistakes than BB

- He's going to butt heads with anybody who disagrees with him or doesnt buy in, will probably be disliked by most of the old guard

- He got pretty impressive results out of an arizona team that was disgustingly untalented by pulling pure work ethic out of them

 

Dont know anything about Gonchar and Foote really from a coaching perspective, in theory, as defenseman, they may be good for our defense? 

 

We know JR considers the single biggest problem for our team to be the attitude/country club atmosphere, so presumably this hire is designed to change that. 

 

Bieksa said it very well, Vigneault did the same for a team that was absolutely god awful defensively. Management helped Vigneault out with the personnel too though, especially bringing in Willie Mitchell. 

 

We need a Willie Mitchell very badly

Lol didn't we try this had ass coach approach with Torts already

 That worked out real swell.

 

Well at least there is also a highly ranked potentially #1 overall local boy in the next draft in 2024.

Our owner needs to accept his insisted upon direction has very much damaged his team.  And now it’s time to step back and let the actual experienced hockey people do what they believe is best.  But no.  Aquilini thinks just because Gillis (with his help, of course) was successful following this direction, that other GMs should b3 too.

We were in the league before the Oilers. HNIC has dropped the ball on this. Having the Oiler's broadcast crew instead of Shorty and John is (for lack of a better word) 

                                                                                                        YUCK.

just flat out disgraceful

 

I hate HNIC. I hate it.
