[Nucker101]

Colliton was apparently brutal in Chicago so this is surprising.

Interesting

 

[alicia]

Yeo? More like oh no

 

[Canucks LB]

I’ll take that as a win mostly just because cull is gone from Abbotsford.
They had zero structure, And woo playing as a F, Prospects stapled to the bench, brutal.

Really sucks about Shaw though, he did a great job

— I do understand that it’s a promotion, all of that maybe I’m just salty about the farm system.
So I guess good for him

 

[rypper]

I don't know what to think.

 

[Josepho]

I don't want Yeo or Colliton to take over as HC but they're perfectly qualified for their roles.

 

[LordBacon]

Huh
Don’t know what to feel about this one

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Who can forget this..lol

This makes absolutely no sense

 

[Pip]

Really makes u think

 

[Canucks LB]

This makes absolutely no sense

It absolutely does, cull lost control, He was awful in Abbotsford, on the Vancouver Canucks he’s going to be just a side piece.

He’s not running the show.

Update:

Or not, it looks like he’s running our defense, I guess he’s not a side piece, oh well, at least this is good for our kids in Abbotsford.

Let’s hope he’s a better coach in the NHL

 

[Cornwallace]

Not really a fan of the assistant hirings.

Colliton is still only 37 so I think he could still have a lot of room to grow as a coach.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Yeo always seems to find a job somewhere.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

The NHL, where the same 40 old men play musical chairs every year for 32 spots. The other 8 wait in the wings (analysts) until they get their chair back.


What’s next , Bowness going to get a head coaching job somewhere too?

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

In all fairness though, Yeo has almost 250 NHL wins as a head coach...He has a winning record.

 

[Nucker101]

Who can forget this..lol

Canucks coaching staff's f-bombs per 60 mins will be great this year

 

[PG Canuck]

What’s next , Bowness going to get a head coaching job somewhere too?

Who wants to tell him

 

[BWJM]

What will Yeo’s role likely be?

Lol.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Yeo always seems to find a job somewhere.

They all do. They just rotate. Such an old boys club. You tell me a guy that’s fired and seen as unfit to coach a team on a Monday is all of a sudden a great coach again when he gets hired elsewhere on Friday.

The timing of this was incredible
Bowness to jets

 

[Vector]

Huh. That’s a bunch of changes I didn’t expect.

Shelf life. Most only last so long giving them same message to the same core group.

 

[MS]

Huh. That’s a bunch of changes I didn’t expect.

Yeah. Very interesting.

The change in Cull’s position is totally out of left field.

Colliton is very interesting. He has big success as a very young coach in Sweden and then probably got promoted too high too fast and wasn’t ready for the NHL. Likely a very good fit at this level.

The only move that confuses me here is Cull replacing Shaw. I don’t follow Abbotsford as closely as some other here, but I don’t recall a lot of positive feedback about him and now he has a promotion. Was Shaw really that bad? I wonder if BB had any say in this? Maybe he didn’t like Shaw.

Maybe now that Cull is running the defence he can do what he did with Woo and put Hughes at forward
