Confirmed with Link: Canucks announce HC Rick Tocchet will Not Return

[Phrasing]

No to Peter Laviolette.

Not surprised Mike Sullivan is unlikely to come here. I’m certain he will end up in NYR. I think it’s likely Tocchet ends up with the Flyers.

 

[ephmrl]

I respect the candor but respectfully Rutherford should just shut up most of the time lol

I love it personally.

 

[Attack Vector]

Rutherford just confirmed that Sullivan is staying in Eastern US and Tocchet also wants to go back there.

I love it personally.

Unprompted just took another shot at at the practice facility / Aqua. I retract my statement.

FFS lol. I'm glad I picked up a fun and well organized NFL team to follow. So much better than having to deal as a Nucks fan.

I wish the NHLPA was like the NFLPA and released ratings on organizations to force organizations to stop embarassing themselves.

Being a Vikings fan is such a stark contrast to Vancouver, where the facilities are top notch and the players/staff are treated with the utmost respect. Meanwhile here its a constant shit show with an ass hat of an owner.

This Hughes news re: not returning the call is awful. If he's pissed and potentially wants out you have to go full rebuild mode. Also why in the hell would you even say that out loud for everyone to hear?

I told everyone I know, take it to the bank that the Canucks will nab Mike Sullivan. Guess I'm completely wrong on that.

Edit: he just took another shot at Aqua/joke about the practice facility so I retract my statement

I love it! He's clearly speaking to Aqua, via the media.

 

[drax0s]

veiled shot at petey. Need top players to be impact players - not talking about Quinn.

 

[wonton15]

Rutherford directly calling out Pettersson now.

 

[Attack Vector]

Seems likely Malhotra is the guy.

 

[Brookbank]

But he was on The Littlest Hobo! That enough is need ed to be a coach in Canada.

And he brings in, you know, the goods.

I guess we are in that part of the cycle. It is time for a forward thinking coach.

Woody is a very well spoken guy but he ain't the chad that tocchet is

 

[WiLBoY]

It doesn't matter who's the head coach, he'll just be the next scapegoat.

Fans love to blame the coach whenever team isn't doing well failing to see the core of this team is just cooked.

 

[thecupismine]

Directly calls out Petey (as if that wasn't done enough already last week), and then confirms they're being cheaper than everyone else on the Willander situation in order to keep their rookie contract structure intact (why given they have no great prospects other than Willander who aren't under contract is beyond me).

This is completely insane.

 

[Bgav]

This press conference is amazing lol

 

[wonton15]

I know Vector will provide a great summary, but I can't help but be dumbfounded by some of these quotes live

 

[I am toxic]

I told everyone I know, take it to the bank that the Canucks will nab Mike Sullivan. Guess I'm completely wrong on that.

I thought exact same

 

[iFan]

We’re so f***ed

 

[D0ctorCool]

I'm kinda impressed that this organization managed to break Jim Rutherford's spirit. He is truly a Canuck now.

 

[Bubbles]

Damn it keep this guy talking!!

 

[drax0s]

and it's over. c'est fin.

Am pretty sure @Vector is binge watching Simpsons with his kids right about now

 

[ephmrl]

I know Vector will provide a great summary, but I can't help but be dumbfounded by some of these quotes live

I mean, that's a valid point from Jim.

 

[Jerry the great]

Malhotra it is then

 

[thecupismine]

Damn it keep this guy talking!!

That was like watching my grandfather slowly go bat shit crazy as the conversation wears on.

His comments are stupid. Made it sound like they’ve got predetermined contracts based on where each player is drafted versus how they developed. If you're a later round pick that puts up star numbers after the draft, JR all but confirms you’re getting less money.
