Interesting how AV has the Rags nicely positioned for the playoffs, while Torts is coaching the Canucks to their first non-playoff season in dogs' years.
Perhaps, Vigneault wasn't the problem in Vancouver? (Although, to be fair, AV never really had to deal with the same rash of injuries as Torts has.)
But, it highlights the danger of firing a coach for not taking your club past the first round. Maybe his replacement won't even get the team into the playoffs.
Sadly, Sutter made this same mistake for Calgary years ago with the hiring of his brother.
