Fuck no stay away from Eakins

 

[ZeroGravity]

Fuck no stay away from Eakins

He'll almost certainly be a head coach in the league somewhere next year.

NO HE WONT GODDAMMIT
-cries-

He can go anywhere but Vancouver, they dont deserve him, glares @ Bish >=(

Pretty funny that both Boucher and Vigneault are fired this season, as both would have been front runners for the Habs coaching position last year.

Boucher will be a great coach someday. He should really get an assistant coaching job someone in the NHL and learn from more experienced coaches. He'll probably be available next time the Habs need a coach.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Lindy Ruff beckons?

That guy has to be coaching somewhere. I cant picture him taking a year off or doing TV.

 

[Socreges]

I remember people thinking last season that Vigneault was on the block. I knew he wouldn't be, but after this season there was no question. It was just a matter of time.

Tippett will be our next head coach. I'd be happy with that.

You guys should take Lavy. I'm being 100% serious. He's great, but things aren't working in Philly at the moment.

 

[TemplaerDude]

Oh happy day.

Not a fan of the Coyotes' style of play. I'd rather have Boucher's run-and-gun style (plus the Canucks have better defense/goaltending than the Lightning).

While I don't doubt Boucher would work better for Vancouver because of having a better defense and goaltending, I definitely wouldn't call his style run-and-gun. His systems are very passive. They're more about sitting back and forcing turnovers then pushing the play offensively. He was never able to fully take advantage of the great talent at forward we had.

I wouldn't mind having a James Bond bad guy as my coach.

That'll change when he throws one of the Sedins into his shark tank after a bad turnover in the neutral zone.

That would be AWESOME!!

I love it when gifs execute the perfect response. This is one of those times.

 

[Red_Man]

That nic cage gif is one of the greatest.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Oh yeah I totally forgot about the 1-3-1. I incorrectly assumed that their porous defense was a result of their high-octane offense.

 

[Socreges]

I like Tippett because his teams really buy into the system and do more with less.

 

[Red_Man]

It would be pretty interesting to see what Tippett could get out of a team with the talent Vancouver has, seeing what he has done with Phoenix.

Fuck that. Oracle of Ages / Seasons VC release is the only Nintendo bullshit anyone should care about right now. It's been so long since I enjoyed a Zelda game.

Last one I enjoyed was Wind Waker.

Kypreos confirmed it. He won't be jobless for long.

New Nordiques coach.

 

[AlexMogil]

Wonder if Gillis will have anything else to say.

Besides herp derp future herp derp

 

[Curufinwe]

He could definitely be successful somewhere else and Vancouver probably has the D to play his system.

Recap: Hi, they're fired, the end, any questions, bye.

 

[Red_Man]

In no specific order, here's a list of possible Canucks coaching options: Tippett, Ruff, Renney, Boucher, Maurice, Arniel, Eakins, Martin.

Pretty much.

 

[TemplaerDude]

The DS Zelda games are really good.

Jacques Martin for new Canucks head coach!

Fuuuuuuuck that.

[AlexMogil]

The more I hear this guy talk the less this feels like the right move.

It was inevitable. AV won't be unemployed for long. Unlike me.

Jacques Martin for new Canucks head coach!

Shut up.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

x2
Maybe Keenan can get out of his KHL job!

 

[Quick]

I'd like to see what Eakins does with a team like the Canucks. What made the Marlies so successful these past couple of years is everyone got with his system, and the dude is super nice and supportive.

 

[TemplaerDude]

Ohhhh don't be like that, they're awesome.

 

[lamaroo]

Montreal signed Collberg and Nygren to ELC's. It's likely that Collberg goes back to Sweden if he can't make the Habs, not sure if Nygren is coming over to Hamilton.

Nygren's nickname is "Nygga"...

 

[Marvie_3]

They really aren't though. There's good parts in them, but as a whole they aren't good games.

I want him to be on the ice at the same time as PK and for a commentator to fail.

NHL 14 cover vote is down to Tavares, Datsyuk, Bobrovski, and Brodeur...

Bob Cole is going to be in trouble if his number looks anything like 76.

I remember this season Cole got Subban and Gallagher mixed up :lol good times
