“It’s been a challenging season and we all share responsibility for the results,” Canucks general manager Jim Benning said in a statement. “It’s hard not to think about that, but the one thing you do as a coach is I coach,” said Desjardins. During his time in Vancouver, Desjardins’ deployment of superstar twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin, along with host of other players, was a lightning rod for criticism. Just 2-13-2 over their final 17 games overall, the Canucks’ last victory in regulation in Vancouver came all the way back on Jan. 20. The plan didn’t come close to providing the desired results, and Desjardins was eventually the one to pay the price.
