https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=426004 says "John Tortorella is expected to be named the Vancouver Canucks' new bench boss" BUT also ""No decision has been finalized yet," replied a Canucks spokesperson when contacted by TSN"
also "Other candidates for the coaching position include Los Angeles Kings assistant John Stevens and former Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Scott Arniel, who coached the Canucks' AHL affiliate in Chicago" BUT sounds like Torts has the inside track.

Ed Willes of The Province writes "The Vancouver Canucks hiring of John Tortorella as head coach has a familiar feel. Mike Keenan was brought in to shake things up in the late 1990s and two years of turmoil resulted"

Clearly toughness is needed, but isn't moderation the key to life? And way more Kesslers would help...there are coaches out there that have won at lower levels....coaching is coaching...great coaches come from somewhere-the smart organizations find them first...retreads never run as well on your car as new tires...how many times have you seen this in all sports????
I'd consider trading the Sedins to a team that has enough tough guys but can benefit from their skills...

Wonder how Lindy Ruff feels knowing Dallas desperately wanted Vigneault?
WHERE do you THINK a top coaching candidate is going to IF they have a CHOICE? New York City or Dallas Texas? the Stars ain't exactly the NFL Cowboys. they are a bottom feeder franchise with very little fan support. "Billy Bob DON'T SKATE"

I never understood that 'SEDIN SISTER' thing.....
Without them, Vancouver wouldn't not have been 1/2 as good as their season records prove........
Any team in the league would be considerably better having them on the roster................. They alway's produce and it is not their (Sedin's) fault Vancouver's goaltending was chit in the playoffs....And the front office chose to spend their money on RL.
You say the Sedin's always produce I guess you don't watch the playoffs very much. They pretty much disappear and don't do the little things to be successful. For instance have you even seen either one block a shot or sacrifice their body in anyway? Way to soft and you can't be that they and get along with Torts.

i don't think you could blow Tippet out of Phoenix with dynamite. for all the teams financial problems, the city is a GREAT place to live with none of the "pressure" of coaching in a Canadian or a "traditional" American NHL market like New York, Boston, Chicago, Philly, ect

At first I did not want this guy but as time goes on I am looking forward to the start of the season.. Welcome to Van City Torts. Interviews should be entertaining in fact he was already welcomed at the airport. As for the Sedins, they like the fact that he is the coach. All these lemmings across the rinks holding their stupid signs up about the Twins. I never understood this Sister BS, why because they never showed up the playoffs. That is why when teams play the Nucks the game plan is to stop them. The Pens did not show up either. The Keenan hire which was wrong in every way was different including when that Mess E eh dip $hit came and took the C here...As for AV, Rangers are getting a good coach but welcome Rag fans to a Country Club atmosphere because that is what we had for the last 5 years in Van city...
