Alain is up for the Jack Adams? Really NHL? The guys with by far the best team, and barely got through the first round is up for coach of the year. "Great job Alain you did exactly what almost all the analysts said you would do, so you get nominated." How about Guy Boucher maybe? First year in the NHL, takes a bottom feeder to the fifth seed. Nah, thats not impressive.
The Canucks success has been despite this dude. His match-ups are terrible, and he never seems to know which line combinations to go with. The only argument that someone could make is all the defensive injuries. However, from everything I have heard, and seen, that is Mr. Bowness's area.
So what are we honoring him for? Having the best team? Having the Jennings Trophy winning goalies? Having, for the second straight season, the Art Ross winner? I thought Mike Gillis being up for the GM Award was questionable. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but the Jack Adams Award for Alain is pretty ridiculous.
he is giving the twins more shifts, even though they were minus 6 and minus 7 for the playoffs so far and they don't even play the penalty kill
ReplyDeletePekka is the best goalie in this series
