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

Particularly after a win none one thought they would get.

F*ck me, is this market gullible and the media are disgusting. I would love to see the Canucks boycott the local media.

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
- CanuckDon

Sound rational.

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

Flagged. Botchford is a pos

I don't really like him too but once in a while, he actually has some good points. Plus he's with me that WD is a CHL coach. I'd read it. It sums up a lot of twitter.

I know this is not a popular response but the team buys into WD. We will have to see how these new kids come aboard and how they are treated but it should be about earning things.

It was the kids first game last night and he played 6 minutes. To be truthful other than that burst of speed to score the goal , I didn't see much else .

I would rather make him earn his minutes and be part of the team instead of getting another whiny dink like McCann and Jake.

Honestly though I see the Sedins here for at least another 3 years. They will play one maybe 2 seasons after there contract is up. So 19/20. Sorry guys.

He didn't get another shift after scoring...perhaps he cheated a bit and was punished. That's (frank)ed up to me. We need more offensive creativity not less. Sure, let the kid know he has to play more defensive in that situation. But don't park him the entire second half of the game after scoring a beauty

This is the roster that WD won the calder cup with. Only a couple players from 3 years ago are legit NHL players. He didn't seem to help any young players on that team.

I'm not disagreeing with the article I just hate female dogford

That would suck! They are constantly buried in their own zone. They are gifted all of the offensive opportunities. The game has passed the Sedins by

I'm still mad about the Vey deployment

For sure we need creativity but we don't need a rookie sitting out at center waiting for a pass.

I am sure at practice today WD will explain to him .

I think next year is WD last year so I don't get involved with the coaching too much.

Bringing in a vet guy next year trying to change the Sedins style is Tortsesque. Didn't work back then and won't work next year either.

Load up the prospect pool like JB has done, if half of them make it we'll be in good shape.

Nice pickup that Goldobin! Well done Bennington!

He wasn't sitting out at center waiting for a pass. He gambled broke free from his check a split second early. If Megna had made that play he would have been stapled on the 1st unit PP

Because he is loyal to the Vets. When the game has passed you by but you keep getting top minutes no matter what. The kids aren't allow to complain or they sit on the bench for entire periods or you end up in the AHL.

I would throw up if they were here one more year longer than their contract. They are holding this team back beyond belief this year .

Eventually Vets move on and kids grow into vets.



I am not defending him I am just saying like the Sedins he should be gone after next year.

As much as I complain about the twins, it is part of the process of having them and a bad coach that will bring us top picks,

I hope you are wrong. They did pout a bit after Burrows & Hansen were traded. Praying to an outdoorsy, rugged bearded Jesus that they don't want to be part of the rebuild and simply play out their contracts.
No Sedins and a new coach to start the 2018 - 19 season.

The only reason I didn't flag you was that you said "sorry" and you're a good poster.

Even in the event he was re-signed, he wouldn't have much choice to play the young guys as JB clears out the old guard.
