With an 0-2 start to the road trip and with zero goals scored, questions about Willie Desjardins’ future in Vancouver continue. I view him as a good coach in a poor situation, but I understand that firing him is a way to change the narrative.
Ask five people who the next Vancouver Canucks will be and I’ll bet four will say Travis Green. Green has coached the AHL Utica Comets for the past two seasons, and he was almost lost to the team twice over this past summer when he was linked to open jobs with the Anaheim Ducks and the Colorado Avalanche.
