Carol Schram: Could a veteran coach help the struggling Vancouver Canucks change course? The Calgary Flames are overachieving under veteran coach Darryl Sutter. Could a similar move help the struggling Vancouver Canucks?

Thanks Carol!!!!



I'm still hearing Babcock stuff but Boudreau would be a better fit IMO.

I wouldn’t say the flames are over achieving at all. They were greatly under achieving the past couple years. They’re playing well and I think right about how they should have been all along.

That said I think a new coach with a better system and better pp would do wonders for the Canucks.

Thanks Carol,

I agree Bruce Boudreau would be a good choice for the Canucks.

They would need to make a change pretty quick if they had any hope of salvaging the season.

Not sure that's Aquilini's style.

Thanks Carol!

Boudreau would do them a world of good, Babcock is just poison.

Its a new coach immediatley to try and salvage this season
or
Fire the regime and build back up with a PRESIDENT OF HOCKEY OPS first. Then that person hires a GM and together they hire the COACH of their choosing. You know... a chain of command. FA needs to do this 1 thing right, then go count blueberries.

Thanks Carol. Ahead of the Flames in hits you say?

Hahaha!!! Suck it K-man!!

Hits are like blocked shots, teams that don't have the puck tend to lead those categories.

Thanks Carol!

Bruce Boudreau or Dan Blysma, but I would prefer Boudreau

No mention of Boeser being aggressively shopped? There was rumour of it being Miller, but it’s actually Boeser that they’re looking at moving.

I think they dicked themselves by not acting in the summer. At this point if Benning is a lame duck there's no chance a long term Coach gets hired until he's gone.

The way I see it is if they're keeping Benning until the end of the season Interm is the only solution for a Coaching change until firm decisions are made higher up.

Hope all is well Bro.

Hits are also a very inconsistent stat from rink to rink.

Is there a stat for first round sweeps?

Who could have seen it coming...the sad part is keeping Tanev, Stecher & Toffoli might have just kept his job. The foresight of this management group is so bad.

Thanks Carol
Great write up of my Mighty Flames! Canucks would be wise to take a page out of Trelivings book and try to copy what he has done. Hits aren’t everything especially if it’s done by a team of smurfs. Goal differential is what builds winning teams.
Laying down here in my hamoc in Mulege on the Baja, 28 degrees out, life is good.
