Alain Vigneault FIRED: Who should be the Canucks new Head Coach

[mattola]

Statement from Alain Vigneault - Vancouver Canucks - News

 

[The Q stache]

Not sure they are gonna get someone better than AV so I voted they should have kept him.

 

[mattola]

The names Lindy Ruff, Guy Boucher and Dave Tippett have been bandied about but they’re not the right fit here in Vancouver

Gallagher: Here’s who not to pick as the Canucks’ next coach

[puckhead]

oops - Tippet is the top of my list, but forgot about him when I looked at the poll.
so I voted Ruff because I want him at some point to refer to Strombone1's twitter account with "It's a joke!"

 

[mattola]

Gillis by this article seems lost confused and clear as mud as to what he will do next

Gillis really had no choice but to fire coach

I love how Tony points out the coaches who he thinks aren't the right fit in Vancouver, but doesn't suggest any who may be a right fit in Vancouver. Way to go out on a limb, Tony.

Bill Laforge.

Edit - I didn't realize he was dead

so no Bill Laforge.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

We have to wait for Gillis to be fired for either of them. They are both GM material.


Milbury handling the Luongo situation. I giggle just thinking about it.

Snicker all you want but I think it's pretty clear that Milbury has by far the most experience necessary for this particular job.














































By "this particular job" I mean the trading of Luongo for next to nothing.

 

[rares]

Other: Tippett.

And if it happens (or Ruff), I'm going to be soooo jealous because I always wanted one of those two to take over for McLellan (who I don't care for one bit).

Really, I wasn't aware

Hahah.. awww... OK, I deserved that. :P

Dave Tippet

He certainly earned his moniker of MIKE by the way he handled Luongo & so many other former Islanders.

At this point I think they need a task master. I went with Keenan even though I cant stand him.

Iron Mike recently signed a two year deal to coach Metallurg in the KHL. However, history has shown us that Keenan isn't shy of breaking contracts and deciding to pull the plug if a better opportunity comes his way.

im thinking those 1 or 2 (or 6 columns) are on there way from Gallagher


/Chapman said he has heard that Tortorella is very highly regarded by ownership ... that they essentially want someone that has won a cup ... AV was an ownership influenced firing ... sounds like the new hire will be too

//bet they wish Detroit got swept first round too

 

[mattola]

so something in this probably got AV fired. Im not sure which

 

[dash]

Gotta be winning the Jack Adams (didn't the Canucks miss the playoffs the year after AV won the Adams?)

 

[mooger_35]

You are correct. Jack Adams in 06-07, missed the playoffs in 07-08

 

[jstewismybastardson]

willie always loved av (like a son?)

Willie Mitchell ‏@Willie_Mitch33 20h "Listen SON" you will land back on your feet in no time @kbieksa3 @Ryan_Kesler @strombone1 #canucks
