[Cashville]

Well-deserved imo. Proud of Brunner though; we sold pretty damn at the TDL last year and I was near-certain we would miss the playoffs handily. Bad fan

 

[Rey]

This is a cursed award. Should’ve given it to bowness.

Well deserved for Rick. Nobody would have predicted Vancouver going to the cup final.

 

[Three On Zero]

Well deserved for Rick. Nobody would have predicted Vancouver going to the cup final.

That’s good because they didn’t

 

[brentashton]

That man is so deserving of the award. Congrats to Toch on winning.

 

[Three On Zero]

Probably one of the easiest trophies to predict this season

Brunette did well but I think with all of the negative press about Vancouver likely to miss the playoffs again helped Tocchet get more recognition when they won the division.

 

[Mr Positive]

The award for highest achievement:expection ratio.

He did great. The reason the award is cursed is because these coaches can be a flash in the pan.

 

[LordBacon]

Well deserved.
Literally turned the ship around in one year.

 

[aufheben]

I feel like Laviolette should have had the 3rd spot.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

The biggest surprise of the Canucks this year was them going from one the worst defensive teams (for many years) to one of the best under Tocchet. No Canucks follower would've predicted it, most were just hoping they'd reach average. So this is very well deserved for Rick.

Think Brunette takes it alot of other years though, was really impressed with the job he did in Nashville.

 

[NotASheep]

Went wire to wire in their division well deserved win

 

[Brookbank]

This is a cursed award. Should’ve given it to bowness.

It wasn't for the Canucks. Alain Vignault won it in 2007.

 

[Brookbank]

Both Pat Quinn and Alain Vigneault led the Canucks to the Stanley Cup finals after they won the award.

Thought he was a good coach till i saw him coach. FRAUD.

 

[Czechboy]

Well deserved.. congrats!

 

[Phrasing]

Congratulations to him. Exceeded expectations.

I’m sorry your favorite coach didn’t win.

I don't have a preference this year. But i did watch Toch try to coach through a 7 game series. Laughable lack of adjustments.

 

[Chet Manley]

Four people picked Brind'Amour in 1st place? That's revoke voter card shit.

 

[eviohh26]

You can tell he was a player in the way he coaches . Well deserved this year. He took a Canucks team that many have failed with and got them pretty damn deep. Shout out to the GM . Gave him the tools he needed.

 

[Shareefruck]

He does admittedly seem quite bad at making strategic adjustments, especially on the fly, but he's quite good at establishing an effective system and motivating players to play consistently/accountably within it.

I wonder which one of Rossi or Yohe gave Sullivan a vote. Toolbags.

 

[Wisp]

This is a cursed award. Should’ve given it to bowness.

Pat Quin, Alain Vigneault... and now Rick Tocchet. Vancouver does alright with this one.
