Around the NHL 10 - 2022/23

[Joe Hallenback]

Because you remain a perennial contender. Instead of having a short 5 year window. Boston has been strong for a decade. The jets got one or two shots and will be forced to rebuild soon.

Boston is the exact opposite of teams like Carolina. They have expended assets year after year bringing in players to round out their core. Lindholm,Backes,Hall, and Coyle. I bet they try to get Horvat this year.

That's one theory.. Maybe it's Canadians buying them so they can burn effigies of Provorov.
They should donate the proceeds from all those sales to a charity. Blood money.

Yes, because if there is anything Canadians are known for, it's wasting money by buying jerseys just so we can burn them.

Speaks volumes on how closed minded people in the US are.

Pretty sure it was the Russian government that bought them all through a third party!

Everyone in Vancouver is a f***ing clown, including the media who are basically eulogising a man as he's slowly drowning. Boudreau deserves much better than this tactless shit.

The poor guy was in tears out there today. This is disgusting behavior by Canucks management. The media didn't handle themselves any better laughing as he left the stage.

As a player I don't know how you respect the guy coming in to replace Boudreau.

Edit:

I don't know why anyone would want to work for their management team. I would never ever work for people who treated other people the way Bruce got treated.

It's clear they never wanted him and have done everything they can to embaress and undermine him in the press or with the latest treatment of him. Why would any other coach worth their salt want to work for those bozos.

 

[bustamente]

Hiring Tochett might give them a bump but that organization has some serious problems. Personally I didn't Boudreau was the right choice but the way they are handling him is sad

That's kind of my point with my question before. How do you respect a guy knowing he's probably the same type of asshole that would do the same as the Canucks management if given the chance? Actively trying to embarrass and diminish the outgoing coach is just disgraceful.
At least they're showing their true nature for everyone to see.

It depends how much salt the coach gets paid, especially if there are no other options.

Heck, the Canucks only gave him a 1-year deal (with an option for another year). If people were banging on Boudreau’s door, he wouldn’t have been coaching in Vancouver this year.

Jim Rutherford wanted to fire him in the off season, or at least not renew their contract. That would have been a mercy to this. Florida moved on from a winning coach that claimed first in the NHL, so why did Vancouver not do the same when they got a new GM?

It's amazing what an abrupt change Jim apparently did on this. He was apparently vetted about Bruce prior to him being hired and had no issue then. Bruce turns the team around so why wouldn't you think you'd have the opportunity to earn a bigger deal by exercising the option.

Holy shit I feel bad for Boudreau. That's got to hurt. Its degrading.

Stupid ass questions by those reporters, to be frank.

The Canucks have done the seemingly impossible and somehow managed to downgrade from Jim Benning. That’s honestly remarkable.

I don't have a problem with the questions. Bruce says it himself that you'd have to be a fool to be unaware at this point, I think questions about how he feels about it are fair game.

I guess, but I think the answers to “how do you feel that you’re getting screwed around by a management team that doesn’t give two shits about you,” are different versions of “how the f*** do you think I feel?”

Too popular in Vancouver and did too good of a job turning them around after he replaced Travis Green.

 

[WolfHouse]

Rick tocchet is going to tank that team...

If I was Boudreau I'd play all their trade bait for 28 mins a game

Word is Rutherford said he didn't know until after he was hired that Boudreau had an option year on his contract.

Here's the guy who was laughing explaining his reaction.

I think with added context it kind of excuses the reaction.
