We have discussed the situation of Vancouver Canuckshead coach Willie Desjardins at length (here, here, here and here). But, unfortunately, we are not done yet.
Canucks Nation is waiting for the club to start tanking and, in a way, lose purposely. That does not mean the Canucks should switch rosters with the AHL Utica Comets; fans simply expect Desjardins to hand out plenty of ice time to youngsters, with losing being a possible side effect.
But are you really surprised Desjardins won’t do that?
Not on Board

That has included Willie Desjardins as well, whose lineup decisions, as sometimes infuriating as they may be, still seem to be aimed at winning games.
