Go to theahl.com and watch the highlight package. Cassels don't suck as much as most think either.

I follow them close enough to know how most of them are doing. They had a lot of players that should have been on the Comets playing for the Canucks . I didn't have any high expectations.

They will be a much better team next year

So we have WD for 4 more years?

With 9 pts in 48 games he doesn't appear to be standing out…but I haven't been following him much.

Does a lot of nothing

Well if that was the case it that would apply to every coach in the league then. I do respect your opinion though and won't argue with you.

It would. So having a good coach behind the bench to teach in situations. WD doesn't teach a player, he just benches him.

I don't mind how they are doing, it's a learning league pretty much. Having Cassels out at the end of the game taking a defensive zone face off. (which he did lose).

When did we get an Argue4U account?

Does anyone know where to get the stream for tonight's game?

Pretty hard to read Twitter now and not want to fire WD. It is consuming on there

But…Boudreau and AV both walked into pretty great roster situations…as did Tippett in PHX at one time and he wasn't able to do much there. And of course the Pens both times had the best player in the world and the depth on roster to make it happen.

I get your arguments Dragon but it really does begin with a proper balanced roster. There aren't really any other top end coaches out there that could have squeezed any more out of this aging country-club core this year and previous. Hence Torts doing way better with a strong roster as opposed to an aging core. Willie has brought youth along at every level…WHL…AHL and now NHL with Bo-Sven-Granlund-Tree and even Stecher and more to come if they decide to keep WD here…Hell, even Magma and Chapoo look better under WD.

You have teams with what could be considered 'real good' coaches struggling to make the PO's when they should have solidified a spot by now in the post-season. Cooper in TB, Hakstol in PHI, Maurice in WPG, Ruff in DAL, Sutter in LA are just a few examples of good coaches struggling to get teams in because they are just missing pieces on their rosters…they just can't squeeze any more out.

I'm sure the Nucks will weigh their options in the summer on a coach as they should…but I also would not be shocked to see WD back here for a few more seasons to bring some more youth along. In 3 years (or so) when Demko-Boeser-Juolevi-Goblin-Dahlen and a few other prospects are solidified on this roster we may see a major push for a top end playoff coach.

Was much much better then the game against Binghamton.

Good start. As it has been pointed out many times sometimes less is better

I think WD is in over his head but I also agree with ASLs comment yesterday , get a new coach after Sedins retire.

The last thing you need is some coach coming in and not having full control.

The team works hard for WD so take your high draft pick this year and next and then go for a new package.

Do you think Willie is the right coach to work with the kids? How about Boeser next year? It's a new direction for the team so perhaps a new voice would benefit them

After his 1st half season I wasn't a fan of his. I gave him a chance. I don't think firing him is going to change a whole lot but I believe there are better coaches out there that could help a young group in transition. There are things I like a lot with Willie. He has got this team competing every night. Players work hard for him.

So we have WD for 4 more years?
