Confirmed with Link: Doug Lidster named to Canucks coaching staff

[JerkChicken]

Pretty sure the ??? is Jim Agnew.

Jim freakin' Agnew!! Wow, thanks for helping solve this 'mystery of the ages' for me.

I haven't heard Agnew's name in a looooooong time. Totally forgot he was even a Canuck.

I can confirm the mystery man is Jim Agnew. He somehow played 24 games for the Canucks that season, and I don't remember a single one of them.

That makes 2 of us. I don't even remember Agnew being on the Canucks on NHL 93 or 94, and I played the hell outta those games on my killer Sega Genesis.

He wasn't on the Canucks at that point – the Whalers picture I posted above was from the 1992-93 season, and that was his last time in the league.

Agnew was a pretty tough customer, but often bit off a bit more than he could chew. Here's probably the highlight of his time with the Canucks...

That makes sense. I thought 'The Big Steal' was from 93-94, but it was 92-93. (LOVE those 93' Whalers jerseys by the way. One of the best ever).

Anyway, now that we've figured this all out... I'll be able to sleep tonight.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

So I've been thinking that the "Big Steal" poster was from a Broadway play or something HAHA. For the last 6-7 posts it's been mentioned. But I'm pretty sure it's from the Canucks' 91-92 season...probably somewhere before the deadline but before the playoffs. Larionov and Gregg were indicators of that, as they were there for the 91-92 season but not the 92-93 season.

So happy someone got this.

Tiger would be a drunken nightmare as an employee.

Then he would be better suited to work for the team (City) that drafted him.

Yep, The Big Steal was 1991-92, Road Trip (cowboy theme) was 1992-93, and something like "under construction" (it was breaking ground on GM Place) was 1993-94.

He was a pretty willing scrapper for us, i loved the guy.

Gulutzan interviewed for the Giants head coach position on Tuesday. (I picked this up from another poster in the Desjardins thread, and thought it worthwhile reposting here.)

It's hard not to read this as a sign Gulutzan will be gone. He wouldn't take the interview if he weren't interested, or if he didn't believe he is about to get cut.

Guy likely wants to be a HC again; can't say I blame him.

I would love for him to be the Giants HC though. Did very well with the Canucks younger players last year.

Listened to Lidster being interviewed on Global News this morning.

He was, of course, being very careful.

But he did say he would love to work with Willie (very high praise for Desjardin's methods) but that the Canucks were very focussed on the draft and other player moves this week and he did not expect to hear anything until next week.

But he sounded quite confident that he would be working with Willie D. This season. Not breaking news, of course, but this continues to develop as expected.

 

[SaucyNavel]

Here's the talk with Lidster on Global for anyone who wants to hear it.

Whats Nathan Lafayette doing these days?

BOO!

Shades of the Linden/Steve Darling interview when Trevor had to essentially lie to his face.

Poor Steve Darling.

Poor Steve Darling.

I wonder if Darling's middle name is Media.

 

[Sharpshooter]

I wonder if Darling's middle name is Media.

Seemingly, he couldn't break a Canucks story if his life depended on it, and he's had two opportunities to do so. I really feel for the guy in that regard though, but I doubt he bothers trying to break them on air or do the research to know if news is pending. He's just too affable.(Watched Wyatt Earp last night, hence the affable. )

 

[TruGr1t]

Seems like things are lining up for Lidster and Pearn to be the assistants.

Just send him Utica after Green leaves for Pittsburgh. Already paying the guy and all.

 

[SighReally]

I would love Gulutzan in Utica. I don't think he accepts though.

 

[Raincouver]

I could see Lidster.

According to Ben Kuzma in yesterday's province, Gulutzan may go to Texas or the Saskatoon Blades because he wants a Head gig in order to become an NHL Head Coach again.

Also, Travis Green is meeting with the Pens to be reunited with Mike Johnston, so maybe Gulutzan goes to Utica?

Pearn and Lidster, according to Kuzma, want to come here to work with Willie.

As well, guys like Tony Granato who got fired from the Pens and Nolan Baumgartner from Utica could get an assistant role here.

 

[damack]

If he took an interview with the Vancouver Giants as reported, you wouldn't think the Utica gig would be off the table.
