Post-Game Talk: Avs @ Canucks - The Sacco Is Awesome Edition

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

No ****ing way

Just checked again zanon has less and Wilson had 10 seconds less. Jones of all people had more tho.

 

[Congo Jack]

This team....this team....I don't even know what to say anymore...

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

What has Sacco done to warrant a coaching job in the NHL?

He was horribly underqualified and had a previous affiliation/connection to the Avs...so perfect Avs coaching candidate.

 

[IceRat]

This team sucks... in every arena.

^ fixed

The team is awesome in the shootout, which is why he still has a job.

 

[PAZ]

I'm honestly considering just stopping watching Avs games until Sacco is fired.

+ Sgarbossa looked decent
- We are an AHL team

I bet if you ask Sgarbossa we look worse than the Monsters.

 

[Chileiceman]

I vote to fold the franchise. Then I can find a new team to cheer for.

I bet AHL Allstars > Avs.

 

[Taak19]

Can't wait to break the losing skid though tomorrow. I will be at the game and shining a laser pointer into Kipper's eyes!

 

[Hans Landaskog]

I bet AHL Allstars > Avs.

I'd watch that game.

 

[detrude]

look how long we held onto Granade-o

Even Granato didn't have this much slack. He underachieved his second year and got demoted. He flat out **** the bed one year after being re-promoted and got canned. This is Sacco's third year of ******** the bed, with no end in sight.

Bit insulting to AHL teams, they can score more than 1 goal in 3 games.

Odds Sherman does something big soon? I'd say high

 

[bohlmeister]

I just went back on the PVR to watch Sherman. He had his hands covering his face. Looked as bored as I did watching this game. And Sacco has the same confused, disgusted, mystified look he always does. What a clueless, sad bunch.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

probably the worst effort i've seen from the avs.

It would be nice to see a change in ownership and management

 

[IceRat]

I vote to fold the franchise. Then I can find a new team to cheer for.

that may be the only way to rid this team of Sacco ... send em back to Quebec

 

[NothingLikeAnEJ]

I have officially joined the ranks of the "Fire Sacco" squad. Done sticking up for his dumbass.

But zero chance o'reilly comes to an agreement.

 

[Congo Jack]

He'll copy Brooks Hatlen after he was released from Shawshank?

 

[Christian Litscher]

If literally every single one of us expected this result, why are we so mad at this result?

Canucks are a much better team when both rosters are healthy, nevermind the lineup we iced tonight.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Hopefully that big thing he does is signing O'Reilly...and maybe try to trade for something who can put the puck in the net/play defense

 

[Joe Sakic]

I don't think any other coach gets as much slack as Sacco does. I can't imagine anyone keeping their job after how absolutely brutal he has been throughout his tenure.

Couldn't agree more, in fact it's comically bad tbh.

What exactly has Sacco done to keep his job? He rode an incredibly hot Craig Anderson into the 8th seed his rookie season, but since then it's pretty much been all down hill.

Even those of us who have never been nor never will be involved with hockey at the NHL level can see the dumb mistakes he makes (i.e. putting Hunwick or Barrie on the PK, poor line juggling/management, moving players like Duchene out of position to a left or right wing, no clear break-out, terrible special teams set-ups, etc.).

It truly baffles me that he still has his job here. And I would bet we would be a much, much better team with a head coach who actually has had some previous NHL head coaching experience.
