Do they replace General Foote during the Olympic break?

  1. What’s the point of replacing Foote right now? Just let him be the coach until the end of the season and then bring someone proper in who has an actual system. I’m a bit concerned for the development of our young guys under Foote so they gotta bring in someone who will prioritize the development of the young players.

  2. In 17 of their last 21 games, Vancouver has trailed by at least 2 goals. In 13 of those 21 games, they’ve trailed by at least 3 goals. This team is really bad. This isn’t going to be a 2 – to 3-year fix. This is likely going to take at least 4 to 5 years. Also, no Foote is staying, and he should. This team is tanking.

  3. Why do I keep reading about Foote firing after every bloody game.

    We are tanking.

    WE ARE TANKING.

    They will not replace him when he’s in the first year of a fresh contract.. why do people keep talking about him being canned.

    Stop trying to make ‘Foote fired’ happen. Its not gonna happen.

  4. There is no reason to replace Foote now. This team is clearly tanking and even Aqua knows playoffs are near impossible. He’s not gonna pony up to pay another coach to go on a run and take us out of a guaranteed top-3 pick.

    I’d say it’s a 50/50 chance he’s gone in the offseason and a very high chance he’s gone the year after.

  5. What is with all the fools complaining about Foote. He is the tank commander and the man we need for least two more seasons. It’s not about #1 this year because Alvin will pick stenberg. It’s about the #1 next year and we NEED commander Foote.

  6. You don’t replace him now . But the dude needs to be told to play the young guys by his boss. He continues to limit their ice time ! Experiment with the young guys ! Put them in situations that are going to give them confidence. WTF is the point of playing Kane on the 1st line ? Foote is gone next year in my mind though . Manny is the guy to develop the young guys .

  7. Let the tank continue rolling on. I went from the stage of apathy to being content when they lose yet another game. Say ‘no’ to the mushy middle.

  8. Nah, I know the idea that Foote needs to be fired due to the vibes is picking up steam on this sub and in the media but I can’t get on board with it.

    A rebuild that is commonly cited as doing things the right way is the SJS and they didn’t fire Quinn/hire Warsofsky until the summer of 2024. After they already secured a 32nd place finish and the best odds to draft 1st.

    I think NHL players are far more resilient to adopting the losing mindset than people give them credit for and the team would be making a mistake by firing Foote early and bringing in his replacement (Manny or otherwise). The Blues are absolutely putrid this season as well and if we got a new coach bump for even just a couple of weeks that would seriously damage the lock we have on finishing 32nd.

  9. Worst part of sports is fanbases. You want a top 3 pick? But you also go wah wah too many losses? All that matters is losing for a franchise changing player.

    Who cares about winning games, i hope they lose all the remaining games.

  10. This sub is adamant we try and retool asap lol. We’ve only just begun the tank and it’s going to be like this for at least 3 years (hopefully). Buckle up and show aquaman we can handle a true tank.

  11. 45GF, 86GA in that span (not including shootouts). 2.14GF/GP, 4.10GA/GP. That’s generally not ideal.

    Colorado isn’t even scoring at the pace that we have been letting them in lol. They have a season pace of 3.85GF/GP.

  12. This is what tanking, which so much of Canucks nation has wanted for so long feels like. Buckle up, it’s gonna be bumpy.

  13. And the Rangers are closing in…

    I like the idea people had, once your out of the playoffs, highest total points from that point gets the best chance of first pick…

    If we can play towards next year after being eliminated, it removes the incentive to be bad on purpose.

  14. I don’t get all the negative posts after we finally got what we’ve been asking for for a decade.. what do u think a rebuild looks like? You want them winning so we get worse picks? I for one am happy with the lead we’ve created cuz u know our luck the team could randomly go on a heater or another tanker goes on a major losing streak and we lose our precious last place spot.

    Let’s enjoy the losses for once and not complain about every little thing?

    Foot is great for tanking.. I’d say by middle of next year if Canucks are still losing this much (which means a good lead for another top 3 pick) then we can consider changing coaches.. but I’m just hoping foot sticks around till end of next year and then Manny would take over with a loaded young roster.. then I’d start worrying about big losing streaks

  15. I’m worried we might go on a little streak here and fall out of last place. Doesn’t help that the Blues, Jets, Flames are all tanking just as hard. Fuckers. Also pre sure we play the Jets twice this month or next month so that very well could be the decider
