Jesus. WTF is going on in Vancouver.

This news isn't exactly out of left field. It's been speculated for a while that he might leave. With more and more coaching vacancies, and given the not-so-stellar season the Canucks just had, there very well may be more attractive options for Tocchet at the moment. And he should be getting big contract offers I'd imagine.

Quinn is definitely staying.

 

[tfwnogf]

they chose pettersson over horvat, miller, and now tocchet. Yikes.

 

[Wildcarder]

Enjoy Quinn Jersey.

Have to blow it up now right? Trade EP40 and Quinn?

 

[Bleedred]

Who cares? He sucks as a head coach anyway.

Not sure why people love him so much. One playoff berth in a season that wasn't abruptly halted by a pandemic.

The people who run Vancouver also suck, so they'll probably bring in some other shitty coach to replace him with.

trade quinn but who would take petey? may God have mercy on their souls if there is a team crazy enough to do so

 

[1specter]

What a disaster of a year for that team, absolute soap opera after being the league's feel good story just a season ago.

Why wouldn't you choose Pettersson over a coach, who likely wouldn't be there in several more years anyway?

 

[Satan]

such a gongshow of a franchise

Sabres would take him in a heartbeat especially at a discount.

 

[Iggys Dome]

Overrated coach anyway.

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Jesus. WTF is going on in Vancouver.

It's a gong show in Vancity, and it starts right at the very top with their toxic and incompetent ownership.

That said, if they can step up and land Sullivan that could be a positive.

I'm not surprised at all that Tochett didn't stay.

No? Why would they do that?

 

[ponder719]

Oh, hell no.

You can't imagine how desperate Flyers management were to get their boy back home. Especially after they spent three years lavishing praise on Torts to curry favor with old guard fans, only to summarily fire him when the fossil publicly admitted he was too lazy to do his job anymore.

Briere and the boys are backing up the Brinks truck as we speak.

lol they cant get a 1C or 2C to come there for a million reasons. Here is their 2025 1st for Petey with some retention. Start that rebuild and ship Quinn to NJ asap.

Tocchet is such a Philly coded coach I had to make sure he hadn’t actually coached them already

Bobby Brink has a truck? Ba-dum-tisch!

 

[landy]

No? Why would they do that?

Quinn is leaving and that EP40 deal may be the worst in the league right now from a PP$ pov. Rebuild asap.
