I think the Canucks come out on top in this one.

3-2

I was darn close.

Good W for the Canucks.

Lesson learnt. The two teams that took the ex Canucks UFAs fired their coach.

Nothing good ever comes from wanting what we have.

Ottawa Senators = coach killer.
See that’s where you guys went wrong, you beat them.
Better luck next time.

Happy Friday All, have a good one

You are welcome Codes.

The Flames coach was 24 games into a contract, before being fired. I don't think the Canucks should be concerned about firing the coach, with only 24 games remaining on his contract.

Not much point on firing him with 24 games remaining? Not like they're going to turn it around and make the playoffs, may as well ride it out with him/not pay for another person.

(But fire JB)

So.... Darryl Sutter, the closer, brings teams over the line while they’re kind of sitting on that middling fence. Those cream puffs in Calgary are about to get a serious wake up call.

From the Athletic on potential players that could move at the TDL:

Max Domi, 26, forward, Columbus Blue Jackets
Contract Status: One more year remaining, $5.3 million cap hit

The Columbus discussion extends to what to do with Domi, who came in the Josh Anderson deal and looked to slot into a top-six role with the Blue Jackets, ideally as a center. Hasn’t worked out. At all.

Not only is Domi not playing center but is playing bottom-six minutes with just three goals in his first 23 games. Domi does not have trade protection, but does Kekalainen admit defeat and try to move Domi to a team that believes it can get Domi back on track and has the security of having him under contract for another season? Never great to sell low on a talent like Domi, who was the 12th overall pick in the 2013 draft and had 28 goals and 72 points in 2018-19 in his first season in Montreal.

But if the Blue Jackets are bottoming out, changes have to be made, and maybe there’s a package that includes a second- or third-round pick and/or a prospect for Domi that gives Kekalainen more assets to restructure a lineup that has been confoundingly uneven this season.

Would love to trade for Domi, especially if his value is low.

I think it’s be more about building a different identity and forming new habits going into next season if the Canucks were going to make a coaching change right now. This season is done and dusted.

Good move by CAL. Not good news for VAN.

Elmer's phone may be ringing today after JV's 2 goals. OR is he off the market now? #PlayoffPush

Why? That would be three teams getting rid of him in three years.

Darren Haynes: “I wish Geoff Ward the best of luck. Good human. No way was the current plight of this team entirely on his shoulders. Shared blame has been my summation all along and I stand by it. But in sports, coach is the easy move to make. Man, some of these players are in for an awakening!”

Different scenarios, Torts wouldn’t even attend practice.

This from the inter web

“My guess is Sutter doesn't even turn the heat on in the old farm truck during the drive down from Viking to Calgary. He'll milk the cows, feed the pigs, shoot an owl, and then hit the road.”

Maybe I just don't hate TG as much as others... I think he's a decent coach who is just running a flawed roster, and his inexperience/assistants aren't helping him.

I'm not sure the Canucks have bad habits, or new habits that need to be formed?

I'd also like an offseason for them to talk to candidates, and *hopefully* have a new GM in to hire a new coach to take the team forward.

Brent Seabrook retires.
