From the CP via the Globe & Mail,
Defenceman Willie Mitchell chose his words carefully but it was clear Monday he was annoyed by the public criticism directed at him by coach Alain Vigneault following the Vancouver Canucks’ loss to the Detroit Red Wings.
Some things should stay in the dressing room, Mitchell said.
“If people are unhappy with things, (as a) player you’d like to have that addressed,” he said. “You don’t like to hear about it through the media most of the time. That’s his way of motivating I guess.”

Mitchell’s not happy, Naslund’s voiced some displeasure, and I don’t think any player is terribly pleased with the way Vigneault is treating Trevor Linden.
Obviously we don’t know the real story and likely never will, but Vigneault’s shtick that was so successful last year (and totally reliant on Luongo) is a short term one. But I didn’t expect the signs of revolt to be coming this soon.
