absolve blame clear fact falls further locker mean people players shoulders spread
I want to make it clear this does not absolve the players for their part in this season. In no way does this mean there will be no further changes. No way. The fact is there is a lot of blame to be spread around and a lot of it falls on the shoulders of people that were in that locker room.
games people quality
The twins are talented, quality people who have shown continuous improvement in all aspects of their game since joining the Canucks.
clear issue lies ownership people poorly responsibility selling supportive table
That is another issue that I think we need to get off the table right now. Ownership has been very supportive of what we need to do . . .There is no selling to do, there is no people we have to clear things with. There's nothing. At the end of the day the responsibility of how well we do or poorly we do lies right here.
anyone available deals few help knew offered people players pull trigger
If people knew what was available and what it costs, I don't think there's anyone out there that would pull the trigger on what has been offered to this point. There have been very few deals for a reason. There are players you can get for less, but they're not going to help you.

It wasn't because the message wasn't correct. It was in some cases that certain players weren't listening to that message.
ask consult decision definitely owners
It's definitely not true. The decision was mine, it was unpopular, but I had to do it. I don't have to ask for permission, not that I wouldn't consult them so that the owners know what's going on.
entire felt given hold rely season time
We felt that at this time it's something that we couldn't rely on to hold up through the entire season given that he has to go up and down on it all the time.
experience marc taken
We need to get back to where Marc Crawford had taken us. Head-coaching experience is a plus. We'll make the appropriate search.
