Despite a poor 23-29-4 record to finish the 2020-21 season, whilst being hailed as Canada’s basement dwellers after finishing 7th in the North Division, it appears that the Vancouver Canucks still strongly believe in head coach Travis Green.
Specifically, current under-fire General Manager Jim Benning, who has been the topic of recent fan outcry, seems to be committed to Green’s expertise for the near future, signing him to a two-year extension shortly after the season ended.
