15 F-bombs in 60 seconds. Talk about impressive ratio. 

The current Canucks need that exact tirade, played on repeat at max volume.

Hope they keep a defibrillator close by!

Handing the other team the puck again and again and letting them attack was killing us.

 

We need to be carrying the puck much more and pushing the pace offensively. It will likely cost more rush chances back but at least we won’t be sitting back defending constantly.

 

Think about how the Blackhawks played in 2010. They gave up a ton on the rush but their transition game was deadly. They’d catch other teams up the ice and attack in numbers the other way. Exactly how we need to play.

That wasn't Boudreau in Minnesota.   They were a defence 1st team under Boudreau.  Might be because of the make-up of the team.  Their D was their strength.  Top guys like Parise, Koivu weren't comfortable carrying the puck either.

I am very wary of Miller.  He puts up points but there is a reason two teams moved on from him before he became a canuck.  His style of “leadership” I don’t think resonates with most of the younger core.  I see a trade coming before seasons end.

I disagree. What kind of leadership do you want? Passive/aggressive? And if it doesn't "resonate" with the young bucks, too fricken bad. Give those whiney punks a good kick up the back side. This isn't daycare. Move on.

Asked to compare his Minny team to Ducks and Caps, he said they had little Smurfs.  Liked his discussion on what speed without size can do though.  

Great interview.  This is the guy this team needs.

Hiring Boudreau in Minny made as much sense as us hiring Torts.

Man, you might be onto something. The players liked Travis initially because he is always straight - but the stoicism just became a front for not knowing what to say or do, and being outcoached every night.

I hope Boeser and Pettersson don’t get Boudreau fired

Lmfao people are so damn soft today.

 

Oh no Miller has some sandpaper to his demeanor we must trade him. un tuck your balls and man up.

Boudreau seems to love talking with the media...does that mean the negative toxic media will have nothing to go at him with cause he has the answers and will say it how it is??

Perfect, a coach who can adapt his system to suit the players he has.

When asked about Canucks, he said he was watching the team, just in case someone calls. This was posted Nov 24.  

Im sold on BB. Definitely worth a try

You mean “move feet, move puck” isn’t a winning strategy??

 

I thought he was really onto something there. Was curious to see where that led.

Or on the PP, don't move feet or puck.

What a great interview. He's a really likeable, self-aware guy with a very good track record. Man I'm pumped for the rest of this year, and especially next year when he gets a full season to work his magic!

Lame. Lots of coaches took a ton of tries before they won it. The game for game record is there. Winning record period.
