The Disturbing True Story of the Worst Coach in Canucks History

31 comments

1. he messed the blues franchise up as well

2. I saw Mess play ▶️ in Canucks uniform …excellent skater …36 year old Mess …I wasn't impressed with game …Linden heart guy, nice leader to have, but #16 was never more than 2nd line center …they only take your team so far🏒

3. I was a young kid when this was going down and I remember the disastrous down fall after the 94 run. Was heart breaking to watch.

4. He is one of the few people in this world I would punch if I ever seen him and he was never even a coach for my team the Wings I knew his stinking reputation since he was with the Blackhawks

5. Its really all Messiers fault. If the Rangers would have just blown that 94 Cup Finals to Vancouver, Keenan would have been an assistant and never given 5 MORE HEAD COACHING JOBS!

6. I do think it's pretty ironic that Burke blasted how Keenan treated players, when Burke himself pulled a total scumbag move on Peter Zezel.

   That said, Keenan and Messier deserve all the hate they get from Vancouver

7. Messer was a great player but his ego was gigantic

8. Linden not as talented but great at leading by example

9. You got an instant like and subscribe for this fantastic video of the era when I stopped watching Canucks hockey. Keenan was a bastard who destroyed a championship team. Messier was the biggest disappointment to ever come to Vancouver.

10. The location of his eventual grave site should be kept hidden from citizens of St Louis in the interests of discouraging public urination.

11. Who cares ? Your team will never win the cup.

12. I didn't know he was Canadian and voted for him for president two times.

13. Keenan thought that he was never wrong and was the most important person on the team. He did not know the difference between discipline and abuse. Sometimes a team needs a coach to whip them into shape, but power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Teams that gave Keenan that power could momentarily improve, but it would not last. Keenan crapped on players because he liked it and he could, and not because it would improve the player. Screw you, coach.

14. Keenan won a Stanley Cup and Lead Canada to its most impressive victory in history in the 87 Canada Cup. He was completely wrong about Dominic Hasek. He knew what it took to win and thats what the game is about.

15. Keenan was a great Coach in Philly, Chicago & obviously his 1 year with the Rangers but man did his reputation go south quick once he left NY

16. The disaster which has been the Canucks is neither Keenan’s nor Messier’s fault. You bring in guys like that into the environment that was a dumpster fire and its their fault🤔NO

17. Banished to the KHL🤷🏻‍♂️….you mean where he won another championship while the canucks continued to $u’k 🍑

18. Messier may not be welcome in Vancouver, but he is very welcome in there Hall of Fame

19. Absolutely we want the Messier vid!!! Please!

20. Blues fan here, you guys too?

21. I think the bigger tragedy is the NY Islanders' mismanagement of talent. Still, to this day.

22. The same can be said of his successful, yet tumultuous coaching tenure with the Flyers.

23. my dad Hated Messier with a passion and nicknamed him Frankenstein…and he was a bruins fan.

24. Great video.

25. Typical narcissist asshole

26. Bill Laforge was the worst.. full stop, period.

27. This whole video is just a Keenan hit piece. Too much. If he was that aweful he wouldn’t have won a cup

28. Keehan was a winner

29. I remember there was a period when Keenan was trading People every few days. Basically, dismantled the beloved 1994 team.
    No idea why Mess came to Vancouver? He had other good offers. The Griffiths were decent People, after that?

30. The team is pure shit, the coach is still first rate.

31. I thought this was about Bill LaForge! In 1984, the Canucks chose Laforge over Keenan!
