always wondered how linden would fare as coach given his ability to pump up the players.
I know, he has no experience.....but Couldnt be any worse than what we have now.

Nah Im not serious about that.

Linden never crossed my mind as a coach. I would try Ferraro but not as a GM

why him specifically
- SMBDragon

I think he is too soft . He is too close to some of the core players to do what is best for the team.

That is my thinking agree or disagree

Agree...too many personal relationships with current players.

The players he has an allegiance to will all be gone in two years..patience. If he resigns them? Well he is an idiot and should go. He hasn't done that yet and I choose to give him the benefit of the doubt

kelly hrudy would actually make a fine coach. He has an eye for the right stuff and knows what needs to be done in key situations

You are allowed your opinion I am allowed mine. The players will be gone in two years ( maybe), So we sit around and wait until contracts expire while change should be happening now.

Two years is just delaying the inevitable .

and guys like lidster and willie that should have been canned long ago

I don't like Hrudy at all for hockey ops. He is too much of a nice guy.

exactly how I feel about willie and co... change should be happening now, not later

Third coaching change in 4 years. Sooner or later you have to realize the roster is the problem

I said as coach.
Listen about when he says how to reach a certain player. I think he'd be good

You can't trade the Sedins...it's going to be a long trying two years for you

you will never sell me on that. No point throwing it my way, it'll never happen.

we need a coach that will rid the team of the country club effort. AND to change the offense mistakes made that have plagued the team for a long time. BEFORE it makes its way into other player on the team.

We need a coach that will employ change....and you know this too. We have chosen coaches that are lazy, soft, and stupid. Time to change that. When your coach is lazy your players will be as well.

I know we need a coach but with this crew it will make little difference

its not
- SMBDragon

You can be irritated at some of the coaching moves but you can't be that blind and say the roster is not the issue

- VANTEL

more than you think. We have broken systems and we are teaching kids that the country club is ok. F*ck that

again, stop trying to sell me on that. It will never happen.

I don't think anyone is trying to sell you on anything ...just hoping you see what everyone else does

13 straight wins for torts ....imagine what a coach like him could do with the Canucks roster ...

- Redmile247

no not everyone....there are others here that understand coaching and why its at the center of this. Guess you havent been paying attention

why would I want to have an incorrect view just cause lots of others do. No thanks, I'll keep the correct one thanks

more than you think. We have broken systems and we are teaching kids that the country club is ok. F*ck that
- SMBDragon

But the broke system won't change unless the new coach comes in and says Daniel you are playing with Bo and Hank you are centering Burrows and Loui.


There is too much predictable play and cycling along the perimeter . Every team has the book on this club.

Right now Canucks main objective is to get Hank and Danny to 1000 pts. Brining in Green will not change that.

- SMBDragon

I understand coaching just fine

I just don't think firing coach after coach until you find the right coach makes any sense ...there comes a point when maybe it's not just poor coaching
