You can just hear the glee in Dreger's voice as he tries to will Desjardins away from the Canucks. He has the same look in his eyes as when he tries to downplay the return Kesler will fetch.Betamax wrote:via: https://twitter.com/Hope_Smoke/status/4 ... 2419428352SKYO wrote:I don't want crow, arniel, johnston.
So if Desjardins goes to the Pens are the Canucks left with "sloppy" third or fourths?Hope_Smoke @Hope_Smoke
Dreger on TSN Radio "the Pens are narrowing their coaching search down to 2 & hour by hour it seems like it's down to 1 & that's Desjardins"

Actually, I would be OK with that and they could maybe re-unite The Crow and Johnston and pretend it's 2004 again ... with different results of course.
What about banning not just the puppets but the original hand as well?Hockey Widow wrote:It will be nice when the children are sent away and we get our board back!
haha I'm ok with the hiring of Willie now, JB/TL got my blessing.Hockey Widow wrote:Dreger now reporting that after Willie's interview with the Pens yesterday he is no longer their number one choice. No details provided, of course. Maybe they made him an offer and he said he wanted to wait until his interview with the Canucks was completed before he makes a decision.
My boy Darren is embarrassing me
when you listen to the qualities Trevor Linden and Jim Benning are looking for in their new man, it’s almost as if they’re describing Crawford’s former first lieutenant.
First and foremost, the Canucks’ front office tandem does not list NHL head-coaching experience as a prerequisite. They also say they’re looking for a career coach who’s won at every level, a strong communicator who has a history of developing young players. Desjardins even spent eight years with the WHL’s Medicine Hat Tigers, where he developed a relationship with Linden’s family.
Add it all up and Desjardins ticks virtually every box for the Canucks. But this might be his real strength: Like Linden and Benning, Desjardins is a no-B.S. hockey lifer whose roots are firmly set in Western Canada. There might be sexier candidates. There might be bigger names out there. But Desjardins just seems to fit in with what the new Canucks are trying to build.

And Willie will probably hire Lidster as his lieutenant.Rumsfeld wrote:Hockey Widow wrote:My boy Darren is embarrassing me
Well if it's Willie, I can get behind that. Seems to be viewed very positively in the hockey community and looks to have a fresh approach.
Being on the west coast/BC has helped get Willie imo. yes term as well.Mondi wrote:Benning and Desjardins (plus Linden).
Old boys. Good start repairing the team's relationship with the league-wide OBN.
Of course, being on the west coast always puts Vancouver at a small disadvantage with respect to travel and the general eastern disdain for the PST.
I like the potential hire and the new approach being taken by management. The departure of Booth (and perhaps Kesler) will also help repair and renew the image of the team.
The scuttlebutt on TEAM 1040 Radio was that the Pens were allegedly offering him only a two year term, just in case he didn't work out and Babcock became available by the end of the season.SKYO wrote:Being on the west coast/BC has helped get Willie imo. yes term as well.Mondi wrote:Benning and Desjardins (plus Linden).

Pens fans pissed, and east coast media shocked Willie chose the Canucks over the Pens (primadonnas crosby/malkin)
