[mattola]

Newell Brown in as Assistant
Ryan Walter is out as Assistant.

I read that that was coming last week somewhere. Good guy, but wasn't he in charge of the PK? If so he was not getting the job done.

more words:

Canucks hire Newell Brown as assistant coach; Walter is out

wow ... walter retained counsel because canucks were not going to honour the second year of the contract

Botchford is tweeting that Gillis has handed AV the rope to hang himself ... rightfully so

Walter was a Gillis hire ... replaced by Newell Brown (an AV hire)
Ian Clark was Luongos guy ... replaced by Rollie Melanson (an AV guy)

interesting that Luongo is still working out with Ian Clark in South Florida ... read it in the province ... too lazy to link it

what was Walter used for in his position?

what was Walter used for in his position?

Ed Willes was saying he was behind the regular season 6th highest PP % but how much of that was his influence versus how much was the player talent

other than that ... motivational speeches??? maybe he helped all the guys look funky ???
