There’s now a door when you approach the Vancouver Canucks’ bench from the locker-room tunnel, a departure from that open-air feel. Same with the visitors’ bench. First cell phones and now a door. The new bench boss has his fingerprints on this one.
“All over it,†he said. “It’s like I’m coaching in the stands. You’re practically coaching in the first row and I’m sure I’m going to piss off a few people. But it’s proper. A lot of things go on and a lot of things are said — especially if there are young kids (sitting in the first row). It’s just the intensity of the game. You don’t want that.
“I’ve never coached in an open bench like that — it freaked me out a bit.â€
