My hat off to Canucks fans. Well done.
I heard that Tocchet’s contract at TNT is the holdup and it takes some time before he can leave, I doubt Bruce is being kept around as a big FU.
I do find it hilarious though how Rutherford didn’t even know Bruce was on a 2 year deal when he took the GM job. Then he bitches about BB’s ability to coach defense when he put together a roster that lacks good defensive players, and now Tocchet needs to come in to ”keep Miller in check” who senile Jim signed to that fat contract.
He’s lucky he inherited that Pens team and won cups. I really don’t like him. Never hear him being accountable for anything.
Exactly. The TNT thing is not a reason. I'm sure there are countless examples of a team not being able to hire a guy they want when they want so they carry on business as usual until then, whether they keep their current guy, hire an interim coach or whatever.So what about the TNT contract? They can fire BB properly instead of this clown show (he is obviously getting fired no matter what, it's a fait accompli). Then, let Yeo hold down the fort for a couple weeks.
What's happening now is pathetic and embarrassing.
Good for fans supporting him through this shit show.
It’s reached put Vancouver on your no trade list and don’t consider taking a job there territory the way this has been handled.
No coach deserves this level of dysfunction from management. I honestly hope every coach that is interviewed for this job, turns it down. There's no way that they can trust Rutheford to either have their back, or do the right thing with the roster decisions that need to be made.
Then why play this charade? Why drag everyone in the organization through the mud. I hope Tocchet realizes just how bad a situation this and it could cost him any future coaching gigs.They already have their coach
The only reason would be that they don't want to pay the extra 500k to 1m prorated during that time for Yeo to be head coach, and they hoped it would not leak.So what about the TNT contract?

Agreed. No doubt Tocchet wants to get another coaching gig. He wants to stay relevant. But what exactly do you expect to accomplish here, really? Plus the fans have been driven to loyalty for Boudreau not so much out of good results, but out of an aligned dislike of ownership and management. Talk about a difficult room to walk into...Then why play this charade? Why drag everyone in the organization through the mud.

It's wild to me that Tocchet is considered the best candidate for a head coaching position in any scenario but wanting to tank. Guy made the playoffs once as a head coach, and it was in a season where there was the Covid stoppage and then a playin.
