Eleven Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Canucks just fired all their coaches. Do you think Vigneault would have been a good fit here? Do you think he would have taken the job if offered? My responses to the above: No and maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spndnchz Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Pardon me miss, I not from here. What is this firing all their coaches of you spoke? Alain Vigneault, associate coach Rick Bowness and assistant coach Newell Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My responses to the above: No and maybe not. Vigneault is a coach that I've always thought of as most like Ruff. I'm not sure they'd want Ruff. Actually should Torts get fired, I wonder .........Ruff was a Ranger. Schoney is also in the NY organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think the Rangers brass and ownership really care that he played for them decades ago? You might be mistaking that franchise for their distant cousin upstate.

wonderbread Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 No. NYR. Wow. What a let down for New York. Torts can't get slats over paid roster to win. Same story different coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Do you think Vigneault would have been a good fit here? Do you think he would have taken the job if offered? My responses to the above: No and maybe not. I honestly don't think he'd be a good fit here if we're rebuilding--from what I've read, working with flawed young players wasn't his strength (not to mention Hodgson is our best center...so yea). Nothing against him as a coach, just don't think the fit would be right. And to be honest, I'm not sure he'd take it anyway, at least not before exploring other options. That said, it's a travesty Vigneault gets canned and Gillis is still in place. I honestly think Gillis is more incompetent than Regier. He's completely mishandled his goaltending situation and overseen the gradual decay of the 'Nucks roster, and has also managed to put together a nearly entirely bare pipeline. Just bad.

Marvelo Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 You think the Rangers brass and ownership really care that he played for them decades ago? You might be mistaking that franchise for their distant cousin upstate. Only Buffalo cares so much about their former players. The nepotism is a pretty big reason we're up to our necks in the soup. I may be wrong but I think the market for Lindy Ruff might not be so hot. However, I can see a coaching career path going from Florida to Buffalo to Columbus but that's about it.

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Kassian would love it. GO SABRES!!! They have spent the last decade picking up guys from Buffalo that Lindy mismanages.....I would be shocked if he hired him. I really can't see NY hiring Lindy either. If you fire Torts, you don't bring in a guy who is a less concentrated version of him. I think Lindy would stroke out having to deal with NY on a daily basis.

Why the hate? He was really succesfull and nearly won a cup. Yeah i know this is worth nothing, but i would like to see him on the Sabres bench. Ronnie is not really my type.
