anti-Keenan

Said publicly, after the game, that he gave up with 4 minutes left in the 2nd period in a game against Detroit when the the Wings were up 2-0 (Jan.14, 98 final score 4-0)....nice way to support your team
Publicly humiliated Trevor Linden by saying he was playing at only 50% and that Linden has not decided whether or not he wants to be part of the team
Tore Linden apart in the dressing room in St. Louis during the intermission, when Linden was congratulating some guys for their good work during that period
Gives Messier the preferencial treatment
Didn't give Adrian Aucoin a chance to play (he was benched for like 15 games!)
Traded away fan favorite, the 96-97 MVP, Marty Gelinas. The team's most hard working, honest and reliable player
Traded away Kirk McLean, the longest standing Canuck on the team. He may have been getting stale lately, but did Keenan have to say McLean was an "Unfit Athlete" the day after he stood infront of the cameras saying what a loss it was, he was a good player, yada yada yada?
Compulsive liar infront of cameras...this one goes back to trading Gelinas. He hates the guy! but of course, infront of the media, he goes on about what a great player Gelinas is and that they just didn't click....Keenan hardly gave him a chance to show what he can do!
Rants about the team not respecting each other and that they don't have a good level of professionalism...well look who's talking! He's the one that starts going public! I don't honestly think that Keenan is stupid enough to think that the players are gonna take all the shit that he dishes out. I mean they do have pride!
He BENCHES my Scott (Walker)!!!! -Lise
He doesn't know what the word "compassion" means -Lise
A MAJOR Scotty Bowman wannabe -Lise
Gets beefed up by Mess, if he wants to have that domineering effect anymore, he shouldn't let Mess defend him all the time -Lise
Doesn't respect role players. (Linden,Gelinas, etc., etc.), He's WAAAY too impatient!! Yeah, so what if he had great success with new teams? This is a team that's in a bigger hole than Brett Hull's mouth. -Lise
Keenan was born -Jan
His parents decided to keep him (god knows why) -Jan
he grew up -Jan
He's just himself -Jan
He thinks his stupid coaching I'll-insult-this-player-today tactics work -Jan
Hmmm....he's a manipulative, deceitful, back stabbing piece of crap? -Jan
When TSN asks him if it's true Linden requested a trade, Keenan does a complete 180 and says he doesn't think it's right to discuss it with the media before the player! This from a man who did it not two weeks earlier! Hello, Mr. Inconsistency.... -Jen
He gutted STL, and is about to do the same to VAN -Doug from Dallas
He just doesn't know how to coach! Every player hates him. He doesn't have a mind and thinks of himself first. He doesn't care about the players feelings. He hates some players for no reasons. He is ugly. -Mag
He traded away Brendan Shanahan and what happens? -- the Wings win the Stanley Cup! Good for Shanny and the Wings, bad for St. Louis!, He also declared Curtis Joseph "unfit" before trading him to Edmonton. Funny, the Oilers don't find Cujo unfit -SERGEI1
(Jan.21/98) He stayed in the infirmary chatting with Walker while the game went on..when told the period had started said "Why bother going out there, I've done all I can for this team." Yeah, you have Mike, you've done @&(*#&. -Jen
He's alive (but that's only because it's illegal to kill him) -Jan
For letting his team attack the Buffalo Sabres and Dominick Hasek, after the Sabres had cleanly beat the Canucks -Adam
Keenan called Odjick one of "Quinn's boys", and Odjick responded, "Mike, you can call me stupid. You can call me a stupid Indian. But don't talk like that about people I respect." The phone apparently rang, and Odjick then said, "Don't you pick up that phone. We're not finished talking." Keenan apparently didn't pick it up.
Grant Ledyard has a ritual where he stands outside the locker room between periods and taps the players on the shin pads with his stick, giving words of encouragement. Keenan then said, "Just get the f*ck out on the ice". Ledyard doesn't perform this ritual any more.
Keenan got on Brashear's case one game for the way he was playing, Brashear challenged him to a fight right on the bench. "Do you want to go right here," Brashear said
Tore the heart out of a fragile team by trading Trevor Linden to NY Islanders
Because his "star" players don't score in the first period, he benches them, then moves D-men up to forward, then wonders why the team doesn't win! -'Nucks Fan
Never plays Lonny Bohonos, who rules! -Nicole
Doesn't let Adrian play just 'cause he made a "little mistake"(okay, so it was a big one, but still!!! He deserves a second chance) :o) -Jan
Keenan has this thing about ripping apart a team, then blaming them for not working as a unit. When will someone tell him that Hitler is dead and so is dictatorship? Maybe his wife or mother could step in? Naa, he'd just walk all over them too. -Jade-Serious Canuck Fan
Start Garth Snow in the net after he's flown from Philly to Toronto to Vancouver, and has never played with his new team, then wonders why we lose... -Jen
Has eyes like a shark and a heart like one too! -mike
Didn't play Lonny Bohonos, who does rule, and decided, "Ahh, to the hell with him " and traded him (No offence to Brandon Convery who is cool). He also traded Grant Ledyard, a really hard-working guy for what, an 8th round draft pick? -Alissa
He traded every player on the blues except Brett Hull & Jon Casey. Are the Canucks all going to be traded??? AHHHHHHHHH!!! Go back to hell is right!!! -Alissa
Thinks bigger is better, when clearly, the best player on the team is Pavel Bure, who is only 5'10" and 189 pounds. -Rocket
He's the most overated GM & coach I have ever seen.I can coach better than him.If you dont't kiss his @$$,you get traded.He just f!@#ing blows. -sonja
Keenan sucks for the reason he booted Ciccone off the team -Lord Wednesday III
Ciccone was right on, Keenan's got a "God complex". Worship Lord Keenan or be traded. -Rocket
Benches guys even when they play good (Scotty Walker)
Because his parents decided against the abortion...... -micki
Said that Brendan Shanahan was holding the Blues back! Yeah, right. -anon.
Said that Curtis Joseph was NOT a team player -anon.
Picks on Al MacInnis for no apparent reason -anon.
Did not announce Curtis Joseph's name when he came back to Kiel Center for the first time!!! -anon.
Because he f***ed up several teams before the Canucks...yet sportscasters talk about him like he's God...Give me a break!!!! -sonja
He 's still talking about trading Alex Mogilny & Pavel Bure because they're "disappointing" but yet he's so in love with Mark Messier...Yeah,OK!!!,I'd send him back to Hell,but I heard Satan kicked him out!, He just absolutely SUCKS!!!!!!!! -sonja
Thinks he's Mr.-Above-The-NHL, He only coaches for the money..... -Katia
Destroyed STL and is about to demolish VAN -Katia
Hot-headed, piggish, disgusting, and biased -Katia
Parents got horny -Katia
The idiot traded Gino!!!!! -anon.
He's getting rid of all of the guys that have been on the Canucks for a long time
He is ressurecting the New York rangers of '94 on MY Canucks!!! -Alissa
Thinks he's Mr. BIGSHOT!!!, Would never trade Messier, but would trade anyone else and destroy the team, He's an ass!!!!!!! -Angela
Captain Trevor, Messier Never -anon.
Defended the actions of Mike Peca right after the game, when it was a cheap elbow that knocked Mattias Ohlund out cold. Then afterwards, he does a 360..c(which is good, but he should have just kept his mouth shut if he hasn't seen the replay yet)
Has Mark Messier joined at his butt. Mess preaches anything this guy says.
Beady little rat eyes, Way to disiplinary -anon.
Comes out with this wonderful little quote: "I think we had about 15 penalty kills out there. I know it was 12 numerically, but it was more like 15." HUH?? -Jen and Meeko
Made Tony Amonte cry - then demanded he be traded to Chicago for Matteau (?!). Destroyed our team in 1994 before showing how classless he really was by running to St Louis. Would've been happy to wait another year for a Stanley Cup to have his name NOT be on it. -Anon Ranger fan
He may have sex and procreate -Darcy
Keenan approached Bure and asked him if he was going to play this game and referred to him as a "selfish little suck." Bure shot back: "F--- you! I've played 69 games this season." Bure then started to get up, apparently to leave the bench, but sat down again. While this remarkable repartee was taking place, the rest of the players on the bench were variously trying to pretend they hadn't heard what was being said or staring awkwardly in another direction. A few minutes later, Bure scored the tying goal but, when he came back to the bench, he made a point of sitting at the opposite end from Keenan. The coach then approached him saying, "Way to go, Pavel." But Bure was having none of it and once again told Keenan to f--- off. -from the Vancouver Province newspaper
Gets rid of guys at random before seeing what they can do -Shannon
Doesn't care about the players as people -Shannon
Best friends Gino and Pavel get split up. Don't be surprised if Pavel leaves soon and trys to get back with Gino -Shannon
Anyone who will yell at a guy who is obviously doing his best for the team(Trevor). Doesn't he realize what a sacrifice it was to give up the C?? Look who it went to and what is he doing for the team??? NOTHING!! -Shannon
ALWAYS benches Aucoin after he played well the game before -J
Traded a shitty goalie for a shittier one. -Bruce Lee's Revenge
If you are going to call your star player a "selfish little suck" you should be able to admit it to the press. -Shannon
Always benches whoever has had the misfortune to play for him, Don't play EXACTLY like Mike wants, Buh-bye. -Shannon
Notice who has been playing really crappy lately??? MESSIER. Has he had to sit out for a game like everyone else???? NOOOOO. Then you look at Mike's comments about Messier. "He is doing alot for the team. He's brought a real winning attitude to the team." Yeah right. -Shannon
Did you see him in the game against Dallas (Apr.4 Come from behind win)??? No emotion whatsoever. You need to be able to congratulate your guys when they do well. -Shannon
Trades McLean and Gelinas for Ciccone, Sanderson, and Burke. Did he want them??? NOOOOO. And what happened to them?? They are now gone as well. He just wanted to get rid af Marty and Kirk. -Shannon
Bad-mouths his best player, then tells the media that having a hockey team is like having children, and sometimes you have to discipline them. -M.M.
A pathetic excuse for a man!!! -Angela
Sucks up to Mark Messier, God knows why!!!! Oh yah because Messier, to Keenan, brings a winning attitude to the team. Nice attitude when Messier accuses Linden, in his own words, of telling Odjick to say things about Messier!! -Angela
Looking at him makes me feel nauseous!!!! -Angela
Is incredibly impatient. Traded Kirk McLean, traded Sean Burke, and doesn't show confidence in Arturs Irbe. Why can't he just stick with Irbe? He is perfectly capable of being the number one goalie but Keenan keeps going back to Snow. What is he in love with Snow or something? -Alissa
all Keanan does is screw up a team and leave them with a pile of shit. -STL BLUES FANs
a selfish, concieted, pathetic, stupid, lying s.o.b and an evil bastard that should to die(NOW!) -STL BLUES FANs
he belongs in a mental institution. -STL BLUES FANs
his fucked up idea of motivation is to embarass and put down players on national tv and in front of their teamates. -STL BLUES FANs
he is a pro(not coaching)in breaking up good teams and best friends. -STL BLUES FANs
to conclude, HE JUST BLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -STL BLUES FANs
Puts Snow in the game against Edmonton on April 6, even though Irbe won the game for us the previous week! If he had not put Snow in goal we probably would have won the game!!! -Meeko
He said recently that Garth Snow would be the only Vancouver Goalie to be back next season. What the hell has Snow done? -Nad:)
Chose Snow to play in the Edmonton game that toasted our playoff chances because he was the first guy out on the ice at the skate that morning -Nad:)
Doesn't even try out Corey Hirsch to see if he could help this team in any way -Nad:)
He always buttons up his suits to the max. He looks like he's about to explode -Nad:)
He hasn't started any legacies like in Edmonton in the 80's when they won like 5 cups in a matter of years. -Nad:)
Grant Ledyard had to take some personal time off and Keenan dissed him for not being a team player -Nad:)
When Bret Hedican needed to go home because his grandmother died(beginning of the season), keenan didn't want to let him. Sure hockey is very important to these guys, but when a family member dies, it is only fair that they can go home. -Shannon
No respect for his players -anon.
Keenan disses everyone -anon.
There are just too many words to describe what Keenan is. -Angela
He is a jerk, an idiot e.t.c, with no brains. So how does he coach this team. Beats me, try asking him. He seems to know everything. -Angela
He's SSSSSSTTTTTTUUUUUUPPPPPPIIIIIIDDDDDD!!!!!! -Angela
He has a big ego. It seems to satisfy him when he bashes players. What a jerk!!! -Angela
And last but not least, he is a poor example for a man. Maybe he would have an easier life as a woman. This way the Canucks could find a better coach. Hell, I could coach better than Keenan!! -Angela
He chews ice, like a certain person he worships a bit too much. Wake up Keenan you're not Scotty! -Alissa
He calls Bure a selfish little suck. Well, Keenan, you're a selfish little FUCK!!!! -Carrie
Can't coach worth a fuck -Carrie
Treats players like trash. I feel sorry for the woman he married! -Shannon
Some one should teach the Canucks what the word mutiny means -rocket
Pavel Bure is the second leading scorer in the league.....yet he's a "selfish little suck"?!!YEAH OK!!! -madonna
He must be smoking crack if he thinks he's doing a great job!FUCK YOU KEENAN!! -madonna
He's got the coaching skills of a lemon.What a dork! -nikki
All he knows how to do is run a team into the ground. -nikki
Was he born or hatched??!!!!!! -nikki
Him and Messier should get married.They deserve each other! -nikki
Bure's 49 goals ain't good enough?SCREW HIM!!!!!! -nikki
You ain't seen nothing yet,it will get much worse from a stlouis hockey fan-gordie -gordie
Tried to turn the team to the '94 Rangers.FAILED MISERABLY!!! -Seana
God,HE REEKS!!!! -Seana
Who did he blow to get this job,anyway???? -Seana *(...probably Mess *g*)
Threw a hissy fit after a game vs. LA (Apr.15/98). He chucked a goalie stick, hitting Dave Scatchard. Hmmmm.....heard of taking anger management classes?
That prick would'nt know what talent was if it came & bit him on the ass!!!! -Bure 3:16
He's the reason brothers & sisters should'nt marry..... -Bure 3:16
And finally,he's in dire need of Rogaine! -Bure 3:16
Always whining about his team.If he hates it so much...why don't he leave!!! -Becky
Disappointed with Pavel Bure...50 goals ain't enough.....here's two words for him:S*CK IT!!!!! -Becky
Always like to embarass his players...and wonders why they play lousy. -Becky
Can't find anything nice to say about his team. -Becky
Here's to you,Mr. Keenan:BITE ME!!!!! -Becky
Yelling at the players is bad enough, now he's abusing them!!! -anon.
He was either a mafia hit man or a used car salesman in his former life. -another STL fan
He's the example of how NOT to run a team! -Shawn
His coaching technique SUCKS!!!! -Shawn
His attitude leaves a LOT to be desired...... -Shawn
I can't wait to see somebody turn on him PUBLICLY!!!! -Shawn
Lastly,He's a DICK!!!!! -Shawn
A rotten human(?) being. -Tammi
This so-called coach ruined MY Canucks! -Tammi
Should be publicly flogged. -Tammi
Turned the Canucks into the CanYUCKS! -Tammi
Turns every team to The Church of the Living Keenan....worship him or you're THROUGH! -Siobhan
He's actually called a COACH????!!!!! -Siobhan
Have to wear sunglasses 'cause I'm blinded by his head! -Siobhan
He can't even run a playground.....but yet he can run a team? -Siobhan
He's a useless pile of shit. -Siobhan
Rangers won the Cup for him in 1994 and then he bails on them -hockeygirl
Anyone who will bash sticks against the wall right behind a player(Garth Snow), throw the stick across the room(nearly hitting at least one player), and then say that he thinks that the team is alot better then at the beginning of the season is a jerk. Did you hear the quote from Jeremy Roenick(I think) that said that when he coached for Chicago, the players would literally have to duck and cover their heads to keep from being hurt!! THe guy would throw skates around! Makes you wonder.... -Shannon
Whoever told him he can coach should be drug out and shot -Kathy
He's nothing but a garden variety fuck-up. -Kathy
Maybe he should look up "class" "loyalty" & "respect" in the dictionary. -Kathy
Totally clueless. -Kathy
He's as bright as a 5 watt bulb -Kathy
While you can't argue his coaching numbers (well, before he took apart the Blues), he should never be a GM. Plain and simple, the man does not know how to move personnel in a manner which will build a club. -kj
Now that Keenan has been booted from Keil, the Blues finish fifth in the NHL. Besides, "Coach Q" sounds better than "Iron Mike." -kj
Thinks he's God's gift to hockey..YEAH RIGHT!!!! -Moira
Has absolutely NO idea of how to run the Canucks -Moira
Wants to trade all the star players for nobodies. -Moira
As far as being GM goes,he leaves a LOT to be desired. -Moira
After he gets rid of Bure & Co.,he'll probably go somewhere else and leave us with crap.GO TO HELL MIKE!! -Moira
Is a Jackass! -The Canuck Coast
Keenan is all right, BUT he trades away players that don't play like how he wants them to...you have to admit though, look at St Louis.. -BretBaby
He traded McLean and Gelinas and got in return May, Snow, and Huscroft..uhh, May is good, but Snow? What the hell's with that? And he'll end up staying before Irbe does..AHHH!! -BretBaby
He's got that annoying eyebrow thing going!! -BretBaby
In game 4 of 'Hawks vs Pens for the Cup. Mike pulled Belfour when they were down by 1 goal......the Pens won that game. -Katrina
Shows no confidence in his goalies. What a LOSER!!! -Katrina
Won't play anybody,yet he bitches about them. -Katrina
He is nothing but a jackoff. -Katrina
In closing, there is a rumor that Keenan is the Antichrist. -Katrina
He cost the Blues draft picks to get Gretzky...and they lost him anyway!! -Tanja
How do you spell "asshole"? K-E-E-N-A-N! -Tanja
Why hasn't he been fired yet? -Tanja
He has no balls -Tanja
Is romantically linked to Mark Messier. -Tanja
He was put here for a reason......What reason I have no idea -Sascha
Hey dickhead! There are other people on the Canucks besides Messier -Sascha
He's proof that you can get a job coaching without any talent at all. -Sascha
He really stinks.NO LIE!!! -Sascha
Philly, Chicago, NYR, St. Louis, Vancouver.....who will destroy next? -Sascha
He tries to imitate Scotty Bowman, but if he really were Scotty then wouldn't he be winning the Cup for us????!!!!! -Alissa
Because he traded Trevor and Marty! -The Canuck Coast
Everything he touches turns to crap. -Janine
Got the personality of a piranha -Janine
He has shit for brains. -Janine
He is the poster boy for birth control! -Janine
Thinks he's a hot stud, but is really a balding jerk! -The Canuck Coast
Apparently, Howie Meekie was given a Canucks Jersey, the day of his retirement. Keenan traded the GREAT HOWIE MEEKER! (GO FIGURE!) -Mogilny89
Is one sorry-ass coach. -Micheline
Left the Rangers over a late check???????!!!!!!!! -Micheline
Is hockey's equivalent of George Steinbrenner -Micheline
Pays Messier 20 mil to suck his......well you know. -Micheline
A scary thought: he may have a brother -Micheline
He benched Rick Tocchet way back in 1988! Tured out to be just the FIRST of many stupid ideas! -&rea~
He ruined Curtis Joseph, and it took Cujo forever to get his confidence back. And now thanks to this idiot, we'll never get Joseph on our team instead we'll probably get stuck with mike Richter or some other old geezer. -Alissa
He's done JACK SHIT!!! -Michael
He's as useful as a submarine with screen doors. -Michael
Where did they GET this guy?????!!!!!Did someone lose a bet? -Michael
Just look at where Cujo & Shanny are at now...they're still playing!!! -Michael
Biggest waste of money ever. -Michael
If you were to look up asshole in the dictionary Keenan's picture would be there. -Angela
He's the world's worst coach, GM, & human being! -Shawn,the Keenan Killer
EEEEEEWWWWW! What's that smell? Oops, that's just Iron Mike!!!!!! -Shawn,the Keenan Killer
He really knows how to fuck up a team. -Shawn,the Keenan Killer

The man must go as soon as humanly possible! -Shawn,the Keenan Killer
Disrespects the man who led the Nucks to the playoffs in '94, Pat Quinn and all those that followed him... there's like what? 2 players left from the playoff run? -gelinas' fan
Disrespects players that followed under Pat Quinn.... -gelinas' fan
A lousy excuse for a coach....among other things. -Carole-Anne
Really turned the Canucks into a playoff contender.......NOT!!!!!! -Carole-Anne
The next time he throws sticks around, somebody should throw it back at him. -Carole-Anne
On the other hand, maybe someone should just shove it up his ass! -Carole-Anne
I'd like to see him hanging off the roof of the GM Place! -Carole-Anne
He dosn't like their best player Pavel Bure -scott
Godzilla, the movie? Who needs a movie when the NHL has Keenan, the bald destroyer of whole teams and fans' souls!!!!! -St. Louis Blue Fans against Keenan fans
Keenan and Castro: the world's last Dictators? -St. Louis Blue Fans against Keenan fans
Tries to make ass-kissing a national sport. -Marty
World's biggest bullshit artist. -Marty
He's always so full of himself, I could puke! -Marty
Is a VERY poor judge of talent... -Marty
He does not deserve to breathe the same air as us humans. -Marty

ANTI-KEENAN

101+ Reasons to hate Keenan

Pretty long eh? Well, there's more! There's too many to put onto one page!
