Well, Tocchet and Brunette aren't getting fired so enjoy your Jack Adams, Rick Bowness

Tocchet, and not even close.

They weren't even supposed to be a playoff team.

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Ah, the kiss of death award. How many recent winners are still with their team a year later?

[Sylvanfan]

Outside of Jon Cooper, Mike Sullivan, and Jaro Bednar, are there any other coaches who have coached 300 consecutive regular season games with their current team?

[Paulie Walnuts]

I would say Brunette.

Most, except for Hartley and Sutter. Of the last 10 pre-Montgomery, though, one is still with the team, five made it two years, one made it three, and one made it four.

The guy who is still with the team only won it two years ago, though. So his time is ticking!

I can see Tocchet having a short shelf life though as he's tied to a lot of the old school mentalities.

All seem like good options, going to be Tocchet I think.

Brind'Amour & Keefe. Those 5 plus St. Louis are the only 6 coaches who were in their current position 2 years ago today.


There are rumours of Keefe and Sullivan possibly not surviving the summer. Also, Brind'Amour's contract is apparently up at the end of the season, although I'd be very surprised if he doesn't sign an extension there.

Fair point. And it is usually the year after an Adams win that they get canned

Lots of rumours about Seattle going hard after Brind'Amour once the Canes are done. We all know Dundon has his price and doesn't go over.

you are probably right but its funny how these things work...media/fans think a team sucks but then they do well.

Now people talk as though they have an amazing roster setup for years to come, same roster just 6 months later.

Bowness - and he'll be fired afterwards LOL

[Goriders]

Guess we know who’s getting fired next year.

[jg13]

Tocchet just won.

So funny 🤣🤣

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Great coach, but didn't do enough in the playoffs to get them past what seemed like a mental block. They played scared. He's going to have to do something different next year to mentally prepare them for the playoff grind.

[midniteowl]

Tocchet wins it and Canucks miss the playoff next season and he get canned.
