Alain Vigneault, Rick Bowness and Newell Browne have been fired by Vancouver Canucks
在Canucks执教7年, 也算是Canucks历史上成绩最好的教练。
这2年的季后赛成绩让他在Canucks无法交代了。
General Manager Michael Gillis为了自保, 这次是顾不上他了
这个是Michael G的发言
“We have made the very difficult decision to relieve Alain Vigneault, Rick Bowness and Newell Brown of their coaching duties today,” said Canucks President and General Manager, Michael D. Gillis. “Alain, Rick and Newell worked tirelessly to lead this team to great on-ice success. I am personally grateful to each of them and their families for their commitment to the Canucks and the city of Vancouver and wish them continued success in future.”
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Aquilini family, Mike Gillis, Lorne Henning, Laurence Gilman, Stan Smyl, Victor de Bonis and the entire management, scouting, training and front office staff with the Vancouver Canucks. The past seven years have been an honour for me to coach and work for a great franchise in a wonderful Canadian city. To work in a city with such passionate and loyal fans is a privilege – I enjoyed every moment of it.
I am grateful to Dave Nonis and Steve Tambellini for the opportunity they provided me eight years ago. Over the past seven years, I have made many good friends in Vancouver and had the chance to coach quality players who cared deeply about their profession and were committed to winning. I am grateful to the players and their families for the sacrifice and dedication they showed in an effort to be the best they could be. Watching as many of our players started families, became fathers and grew as men, on and off of the ice, was equally rewarding.
To Rick Bowness, Newell Brown, Rollie Melanson and Darryl Williams – I say thank you for your tireless effort every day – I am grateful for your friendship and dedication. You should all be very proud of your achievements.
I am proud of many of the things we accomplished as a group these past seven seasons in Vancouver and only wish we were able to win the Canucks first Stanley Cup. I am a career coach and it is what I love to do. I hope to coach again in this League and will always have good memories of my time and the fans in Vancouver.
Michael Gillis这些年的队员trade和选秀不是一般的差,Keith Ballard的那个deal简直是掺不忍睹。用了当年1st(25th overall pick)加上Michael Grabner 和 Steve Bernier换来的, 当然还有个Victor Oreskovich。 Keith Ballard当时是5 more years at $4.2m, Canucks照单收的。这些年Ballard都是板凳队员。 要不是这几年的cap space比较多的话, Michael Gillis麻烦早就大了去了。 看看去年Steve Bernier在Devils的季后赛表现, 这2年Michael Grabner的表现,尤其是这个playoff的表现。
