But there&#8217;s also a segment that still backs Foote despite how the season has unfolded.<\/p>\n<p>Vancouver sits at 50 points in 72 games. That record has fueled the calls for change more than anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Some fans see a team that hasn&#8217;t improved enough structurally, especially in its own zone where breakdowns keep showing up.<\/p>\n<p>Others see a coach dealing with a flawed roster and a season that slipped early.<\/p>\n<p>That divide is shaping the conversation right now.<\/p>\n<p>Foote still has support despite brutal season<\/p>\n<p>The Canucks have allowed 273 goals. That number jumps out, and it&#8217;s a big reason why some fans want a new voice behind the bench.<\/p>\n<p>Bruce Cassidy fits that idea.<\/p>\n<p>He brings a track record of structure and accountability, something many believe this group desperately needs.<\/p>\n<p>But not everyone is ready to make that switch.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s belief in parts of the fan base that Foote hasn&#8217;t been given enough time to fully implement his system, especially with inconsistency in the lineup.<\/p>\n<p>And that matters in a long season.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, pressure is building on Patrik Allvin.<\/p>\n<p>Fans aren&#8217;t just looking at the coach. They&#8217;re questioning roster decisions and whether this group was set up to compete in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where the debate gets more complex.<\/p>\n<p>Because even if Cassidy is available, a coaching change alone doesn&#8217;t fix everything.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the conversation isn&#8217;t going away.<\/p>\n<p>As long as Vancouver stays at the bottom of the standings, every option will be discussed and including a proven coach waiting on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on Vancouver Hockey Daily<\/p>\n<p>POLL<\/p>\n<p>29 MINUTES AGO|7 ANSWERS<\/p>\n<p>Bruce Cassidy buzz grows as Canucks fans debate Adam Foote&#8217;s future<\/p>\n<p>Should the Vancouver Canucks replace Adam Foote with Bruce Cassidy ?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Photo credit: Matt Marton-Imagn Images Adam Foote is facing mixed reactions in Vancouver as Patrik&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":530203,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5128],"tags":[59474,61070,894,59612,5,4,59473,32555,893,27,61071,5313],"class_list":{"0":"post-530202","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-vancouver-canucks","8":"tag-adam-foote-vancouver-canucks","9":"tag-bruce-cassidy-vegas-golden-knights","10":"tag-canucks","11":"tag-elias-pettersson-vancouver-canucks","12":"tag-hockey","13":"tag-nhl","14":"tag-patrik-allvin-vancouver-canucks","15":"tag-quinn-hughes-vancouver-canucks","16":"tag-vancouver","17":"tag-vancouver-canucks","18":"tag-vancouver-canucks-standings","19":"tag-vancouvercanucks"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116315248222643724","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=530202"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530202\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/530203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=530202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=530202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=530202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
