143 - Fired Willie À La Mode

Pucks On Net

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are here! Your favourite NHL team is either in them, or they're firing their coaching staff!

A full bench joins you this week to discuss the big firing in Vancouver. After a three year stint and a losing record with the Canucks, Willie Desjardins was fired Monday morning. If you've listened to this podcast for a little while, you knew the frustration with the Climax Saskatchewan native's decisions behind the bench and when constructing his lines. Who will replace him? Will it be Comets head coach Travis Green? or a grizzled vet that is unemployed right now?

They also discuss the Los Angeles Kings cleaning house and firing Dean Lombardi as GM and Darryl Sutter as head coach. Two Stanley Cups weren't good enough to save their jobs and they're on the open market... Vegas?

They look towards the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, giving their thoughts and predictions for each series and a couple key players and storylines to watch out for!

They also answer a couple Canucks questions from listeners and give some predictions for the off season to come!
