This is what gets me. We hire a mediocre coach who everyone knew nothing of other than he was assistant to a mediocre Canucks team. He was demoted to assistant after less than two years as Head Coach in Dallas, where they did not make the playoffs at all. The only other time GG made it to the playoffs is when Calgary took it in 2015. For some reason Treliving thought it would be a good idea to make him head coach again for his admirable performance. And cause he was a nice guy.
Then they started bringing in spare part Canucks to fill spots - Bartkowski, Vey, Shinkaruk, (Chris Higgins on a PTO). Clearly those were GG's guys, because no one else could possibly have faith in any of them except for him.
I am also tired of seeing Treliving giving media interviews and coming across like he's playing the long game, making the smart decisions, and has a method to his madness. Well Brad, it's been almost 4 years, most of which was spent rebuilding. Where are we now? Oh yes, floundering for a playoff spot with no discernible signs of improvement.
I used to think Treliving was a wizard; some things looked good on paper. But now, I just think he's been pulling the wool over our eyes. He hasn't done enough to drastically improve the team performance. This is year 5 of the rebuild.
We can only be patient for so long before something has to give. I am now fully on-board a regime change. and every accumulated pile of home losses and to second-rate teams is more reason for my frustration.
