Guest Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I truly honestly believe that Ted Nolan deserves Coach of the Year. Once he took over it didn't matter what personnel Buffalo has had that team plays hard honest hockey. Perceived now to be a bottom dweller team and they keep beating teams that are trying to contend. 4-1 since the Olympic break, traded so many of their pieces and they still play good. He did the same thing with Latvia in the Olympics almost upsetting Canada, that man just understands how to get the most out of any group of players regardless of skill levels. Oh Hey Lightning, meet Jonas Enroth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devise 4,475 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Oh Hey Lightning, meet Jonas Enroth. Enroth played good, but the system made him look even better. Not to imply he didn't play great, but very little second opportunities for the Lightning that whole game. Tons of blocked shots, over 20 blocked shots combined for the Sabres. Make your goalie able to see all the shots he faces and take care of rebounds and block what you can. To me it's hard to deny the influence Nolan has made on that club.

sherifflobo 137 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) So ridiculous. Gillis should be fired, entire coaching staff let go and any prime/older players need to be traded. Edited March 7, 2014 by sherifflobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandro 251 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Gallagher was on 1040 today and apparently the players were pissed off after the Calgary incident and have tuned Torts out. Not sure who said the next part, but apparently the players have no respect for Gillis either. My predicition: Torts is fired within the week after the season ends, Gillis steps down shortly after. Not fired or "stepping down", he'll step down of his own free will. He considered leaving after 2010-11 iirc, so I expect he'll do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was under the impression the retooling was happening to give Torts the roster he wanted. Or maybe it's all just going downhill. On another note, not to rub in the sting but how about Seguin? What a pick up he was for Dallas kid has been on fire all season long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point it's just all going downhill, the Canucks have been rapidly trending downhill since the beginning of 2012 but I feel like Torts inherited a ship that was sinking fast and made it sink even faster. They just need to totally clean house now. Edited March 7, 2014 by Sandro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strummer 21 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Oh Hey Lightning, meet Jonas Enroth. Enroth is a good goalie that will get his chance now. With that said, Buffalo is still positioning themselves atop of a strong 2015 draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 6 fucking 1 just............................. Lack is good but he is not ready to be the starter yet.

I didnt really think torts was that bad of a coach until he benched Luongo for 3 games. Other than that i thought it was a decent job with a team that was falling apart. If/when torts gets fired who will replace him? and a better question who will replace Gillis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Svoboda_3 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 So many bad decisions made by Vancouver. Let's list them (I may miss some because I'm not a Canucks follower)\ - Firing Vigneault (Ya had a good thing, and for some reason you thought you'd find better) - Hiring Tortorella - The handling of the goaltending controversy - Trading Schneider - Trading Luongo - Hiring Tortorella - Benching Luongo in that Outdoor-Indoor hockey game - That line-up fiasco from Tortorella against Calgary - Charging the Flames' dressing room resulting in a suspension - Trading for Kassian - All the contracts with no-trade clauses - Did I mention hiring Tortorella? - Mike Gillis and his no rhyme or reason General Managing Now there are things that are out of their control like all the injuries or the inconsistencies by their players, but man I hate the Canucks, but God has struck a lightning rod on this team. Oh well, my Avalanche are rolling along nicely now that the rebuild is finally ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherifflobo 137 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 AV had to go. The team quit on him. The biggest mistake was not firing Gillis after the two embarrassing playoff exits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The biggest issue was bring Torts who's system just doesn't work. I under the Kings run a defensive system but even they can score more and it's a different type of system. Torts system is built to basically shut down the opposition with no room for offence.
