Canucks hold a team option on Tocchet and told him they would hold him hostage if he didn’t sign a new deal. Sounds they they softened on that stance but he won’t be able to coach anywhere outside of Vancouver next year.

Not sure how a coach that bad would be hot commodity. Not sure why Vancouver went after him in the first place. He hates skilled hockey and talked about when he was hired.

If you're no good at telling good coaches from bad, you hire a well-known name so you can at least trust someone else's judgement.

It's the hockey version of the old saying, ‘Nobody was ever fired for buying IBM.’

The stats watchers seem to suggest that Hughes is still injured or at least not 100 percent, since he hasn't looked the same since coming back.

I don't think that's a secret. He was very obviously playing hurt since December.

The irony that you would say that when I directly quoted you.

If you want to be the guy that posts stuff like 'he's out of shape' then at least be adult enough to take it when someone calls you out on it.

Stop being a baby like you usually are when you are owned and you an DM or block me. It’s easy. It has nothing to do with this topic so maybe you need to grow up and be an adult which seems likes it’s very difficult for you.

Come on, CP, let's leave the no-goodness to Edmonton and Vancouver where it belongs, not here.

Some rumbling out of there that there is a contract dispute with former first round pick Tom Willander... the new Tom Erixon?

He's in the NCAA, so they still have 2 more years to do something with him. More Alan Fox than Tom Erixon.

Canucks finish the season with the least points of any Canadian team.

Five out of seven Canadian teams are in the playoffs, including the President's Trophy winner, and there are no Canadian teams in the bottom 14 of the standings! I find that remarkable.

If the Canucks win their last game, they'll miss the playoffs with more points than Montreal or New Jersey, who made it. They are, of course, still No Good on general principles, but this season's results don't show their no-goodness to full advantage. In a dim light, they could even pass for OK.
