Thread for those who disagree with the Rutherford hire

You're right actually. That team was tough, but when all the chips were on the table in the SCF against Boston the toughness disappeared.

Stan Smyl is gonna make this team tough again. He's sat back for too long watching the softest team in the league for too long. Up until the Bertuzzi Moore incident the Canucks were always tough gritty teams. That was the turning point. Bert got traded, enter the Sedins as the core pieces and ya we were very skilled and successful but we were always soft. And it's been downhill ever since. We had a few decent years with Rypien, Hordichuk, Raffi Torres but we got softer year after year and now we are Charmin soft. Hopefully this finally changes

I agree but I could see Petey thriving in it. He's very smart away from the puck, especially in his rookie year. He had a lot of comparisons to Datsyuk, who won many Selkes. Sergei Fedorov also won Selkes and he was pure offense. That's the difference a good coach makes. Hopefully Boudreau can have a Scotty Bowman type of effect on our young players.
