Yea, that's pretty heartless. "We're about to fire you but right now we're interviewing people to replace you. Meanwhile you gotta stay there".

It's more of a farce than heartless. But what's Boudreau supposed to do but, while coaching on the bench, stare blankly into a zooming-in camera for another famous gif?

I hope Bruce takes Tocchet's spot on TNT.
[edit..I know it's cable but the censors probably wanna keep that time delay button's bleep noise handy if he is hired.]

Agreed. He's a good dude and deserves better.
He's also going to wait them out so they have to pay him. Haha.

I'll always remember this from Odjick
"Odjick is going nuts"
He was a very cool guy off the ice
I didn't know he was such a good interview. Nice.

Not Great, Bob!
Nervously waiting to see how this all affects my own exotic snake business. Hopefully sales are going to boom.
Never thought Risto would be the Carol of this story.

Canucks are in general showing us all how you don’t do business. I honestly think that’s a BC thing having spent a good amount of time working and staying in that province.

Ya drama and arrogance I guess you could say
That was the least problematic part of that entire presser.
People lauding Rutherford for his brutal honesty, I call bullshit on that. I think he's as disingenuous and shifty as they come, and he won't admit what's readily obvious--he's not really in charge. Aquilini is pulling his strings.

The Canucks more than any team in this league need Brian Burke. Love him or hate him he'll at least pick a f***ing direction and go all in.
Ya I thought presser was pretty awful. Throw your coach under the bus yet again, throw your Captain under the bus and accuse him of essentially being greedy, openly announce you want to lose, but also shut down any plans of a true proper rebuild.
Just a really bad PC all around and if I was a Canuck player I'd want out at this point and if I was a fan I'd probably be taking an extended break from the sport.

That's literally the only guy I could see telling Aquilini to sit down and shut the f*** up, but that's precisely why the Canucks would NEVER bring him back.
Holy shit! You're not the only one getting up there in age
Still remember the tears when daddy lifted the cup
Yeah, Ryan was there in attendance too and he's 32 now(!!!)Holy shit! You're not the only one getting up there in age
Interesting words from Tolvanen, who has some not-great things to say about the Preds. Said he was getting jerked around the lineup and being asked to be a checker one night, a scorer the next.

This kinda highlights a very odd thing to me: David Poile is basically on his last chance to win that elusive Stanley Cup and he goes all in with...John Hynes!!???
The weird thing about Hynes is, there probably isn't a better coach in the league who can craft a proper rush offense. NHL Network highlighted the simple move of how they convert 3-on-2s into 2-on-1s, and his offenses in both New Jersey and Nashville are mostly one-and-done affairs that rely on key players getting hot and hitting high percentages. Once those players come back to Earth, the rest of his scheme appears exposed. Not sure why people keep thinking a guy that specialized makes for a good head coach.
Eeli Tolvanen Enjoys Fit in Seattle After Mixed Messaging in Nashville
Eeli Tolvanen said his role varied between the checker and the scorer in Nashville. Now, he's happy with his fit in Seattle, and the points reflect that.

That's likely bad news for his team if we do make the playoffs.
