Based on the recent posts about potential coaches, the short list for JB and Linden's upcoming interviews might be pretty short:
Crawford
Gallant
What about Sutter, Lindy Ruff? 
Hitchcock is old as dirt so he does not look a good fit for the team's long term plans for a coach.

The insightful comments on this thread about the team's coaching needs puts things in the right perspective about the best coach for this team now.

Maybe Stevie Y is one of the more prolific hires but he's definitely not the first.

Yzerman wasn't just some guy who used to play for the team, though.
He was hired in a lower front office position by the Red Wings, spent 5 years with them working his way up, worked for 4 of those 5 years with Hockey Canada, GMed a handful of WHC teams and then the 2010 Olympic team before taking a GM job with Tampa.
He had experience and a resume to back it up.
Linden had fuck all. Sakic had fuck all. Look where their teams are.
I don't know what Blake and Robitaille bring to the table as far as front office experience and success goes.

One thing people forget is that Stevie Y was basically groomed into the position he is now.

I don't know what Blake and Robitaille bring to the table as far as front office experience and success goes. | Luc Robitaille deals with business ops rather than hockey ops
Rob Blake has been groomed by the NHL and Hockey Canada in hockey operations
much more of a resume post playing career than Linden and Sakic

What makes people think Hitch would actually want to come coach in Vancouver!? The guy is in the twilight of his career, and is most likely not looking to come to a tire fire. Other than the fact he has stated he wants to coach in western Canada, I highly doubt Hitch is coming to Vancity.
Truthfully, you could deploy a monkey to coach the Canucks for the next 2 years, and it wouldn't change much.

Making something that's not a big deal into something. Our media is poison.

1040 fell off so hard i stopped listening months ago.
IMO the layoffs at news papers are a sign of things to come for outlets like sports radio, people are turning more and more to blogs, forums, twitter, etc. for their news and opinion peices.
Hell, i only watched a handfull of games this year but i've all but stopped using twitter as well because i dont care to read more "anaylysts" opinions anymore. I'd rather come here and read a few posts, watch highlights, and form my own opinion then hear the poison out of the mouth of the skeleton Ghallager or Botchford. The sooner people like that are gone the better imo.
