Comedy BRONZE out of Vancouver

[jstewismybastardson]

Rumo(u)rs swirling that Linden may be stepping down from his role with the Canucks.

Was it in the cesspool ? Sekeres ?

Got it off a different message board actually, but the guy who posted it usually is pretty in tune with goings on with the Canucks.

Goldobin with 2 more goals tonight. That's 4 in his last 2 Comet's games. Here was his 2nd tonight:

Oh, and Utica was also eliminated from the playoffs tonight. Doh!

From Southampton to Vancouver? Elliotte Friedman says Ralph Krueger is on the Canucks short list for head coach.

 

[mooger_35]

[Bloody Brian Burke]

cesspool talk with Lebrun ... Ralph Kruegers name comes up ... i could see Aquilini hiring him as new canucks President/gm/coach ... calcio angle ... maybe he signs Gabbiadini

Krueger is not a bad hockey man ... The thing that is concerning is that this would probably be Aquilinis hire. Now you can say that its better than a Linden hire (lol) but I can surmise (fear) that the underlying reason Aquilini would hire Krueger is because he thinks Krueger can get this current incarnation of team into the playoffs or at the least contending for the playoffs ... because Ralph has a history of turning chicken shit into chicken salad (german national hockey team / coilers / Southhampton / Teamn Europe )... and/or ... krueger would be a marketing move because he has a bigger name that Travis Green

and i go back to my point from last week ... for Krueger to leave Southampton ... hed have to be given a helluva lot more than an nhl head coaching job (ie GM and maybe even President)

I mean, I obviously don't know the man but I do know a bit about the inner workings at Soton and if a team like the Canucks offered me full authority to manage a hockey team unencumbered I would probably jump at that.

Key words are full authority. Even if they're willing to jettison Benning do you really see Linden getting bounced?

now this is why I wish dash would send me the link of this thing he saw someone say that Linden was thinking of quitting ... i could see him quitting ... hell the rumours were out there in November ... and i could see it being over Aquilini going over Trevors head and hiring the new coach ... just like Aquilini did (with Gillis) when he ... yes he ... hired Torts

/message for Ralphie ... you will never be unencumbered working for Frankie

Should be interesting to see play out.

One thing for certain is the Canucks will not get a better opportunity to put a proper regime in place than the one they have now. To go clean slate, to take advantage of the declining fortunes of most of their division rivals, to install a system and style of play that carries from the ground up. It doesn't always pan out the way it's supposed to (see Sabres, Buffalo) but it's still the best method.

[jstewismybastardson]

Aquilini will probably hire him by skype

Botchford is of the opinion that Krueger is Lindens guy ... i dont buy it

mainly he is leaning on the idea that this is just a smokescreen to make Green and his agent think they have another option as coach so Green will accept less than the dollars and term hes asking for

I guess they're hoping for a smooth transition.
