Most Vancouver Canucks fans weren’t happy with Willie Desjardins as their team’s head coach. And as it seems, neither was Canucks leadership. According to TSN’s Bob McKenzie, Desjardins will not spend the 2017-18 season behind Vancouver’s bench.
The Canuck Way writer Tyler Shipley recently shared his opinion on some of Desjardins’ past decisions, and how they could affect the looming coaching decision. His piece shows it wasn’t an easy decision. But looking at this past season, Desjardins really didn’t earn himself another year with the club.
Now, it is important to understand that a coaching change is unlikely to bring immediate success.
