Someone said he was at YVR, makes sense with JB's history with him. Green will not be able to provide wins and teach these young guys at the same time as a HC. Veteran coaches typically like to bring their own staff, that's where the problem could be.

I think because Green is TL and Benning's guy he will tow the company line better than Willie. Development > wins.
- CanuckDon

I think Green will get Benning & Linden fired by the end of next season.

Benning has one year left on his contract, hopefully they don't renew it. Give him the Burke treatment!!

I laughed at the report I saw this morning about the Canucks being in talks with Dave Lowry for the head coaching job. Now I am seeing that they have been in talks with him for over 6 weeks? Makes me wonder if Lowry makes the jump to Utica head coach in the event Green gets hired

You have to create drama when there isn't any, it's a sales business, volume matters

I will say this though. Lowry has done an excellent job with our Royals team. Has never had a WHL player taken in the top 50, never had an all-star calibre player, but manages to get the most of his squad and keep them competitive.

Thanks

Willie not throwing people under the bus

Botch being an ass though, "did you ever go back and look at old power play arrangements when the Sedin's were successful?"

Honestly, the reason why most people label us as the worst fans in hockey, I believe is a direct reflection of who delivers our content to the "average fan" in Gallagher/Botch/goofs at tsn1040.

Willie has been really open in this presser. He isnt throwing guys under the bus but being honest on what he thought happened.

Admits he has wondered what would have happened if he took the Penguins offer over Van...
