Crawford Out! (The post without any rubber ducks)

Moi stole my title, so I'm stealing it back.

Well, it's not really a surprise to read that the Vancouver Canucks have fired head coach Marc Crawford.

Crawford was not able to get the Canucks and their $38.5 million payroll to make the playoffs this season. Rumour has that the players were not getting along and that cliques had formed. The one thing that they apparently did agree on, however, was their dislike of coach Crawford.

Personally, regardless of the success Crawford had with the Avalanche, I will never forgive him for keeping Gretzky nailed to the bench in the 1998 Olympics in Nagano.

I wonder if this opens the door for Pat Quinn to make his return to Vancouver?
