They aren't mutually exclusive. Flawed roster not playing with any structure or puck support. Both need improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could bring in Trotz but I don't think any coach can make the playoffs with this sorry excuse of a roster and D corps. These players don't seem to care about winning. If Yeo takes over then this has tank written all over it. Maybe the answer is that some heavy lifting needs to get done roster wise and it's not fair to go out and hire a new coach and put him thru a lot of roster upheaval. Make the roster changes, then replace the coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it wasn’t confirmed that Boudreau would be back for this season, there was speculation that they would bring in a Swedish coach from Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Clearly it doesn’t matter who the coach is the mix of players is the problem. A Terrible D group and one Center that wins draws It was a Terrible refool/build. Below average goaltending has exposed the many other issues this club had had for almost a decade.the stupid Hot goaltender plan only works with a hot goaltender just like playoff revenue only helps if you make the playoffs.

It sounds like Rutherford was ok with Boudreau in the short term. He's a feel good guy, lightens up the room and they needed that. It's time to get down to business now. If it really is "time to get down to business now", the guys at 650 just floated a name I hadn't thought of yet: Rick Tocchet. No-nonsense, not another first-time NHL Head Coach, and a Pittsburgh connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More recently, Kevin Sullivan has been mentioned as being in the hot seat in Pittsburgh and has past history with Canucks when he was here with Torts.

Provost Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Well Rutherford came on the road trip… so he is there to fire the coach in person I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens, it is an untenable situation. I also don’t think it will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter who takes over, nothing is gonna change at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Yeo is who Rutherford brought in specifically for this eventuality. Just peomoted as interim for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I'm just going to imagine one of the worst things they could do, and suggest: The team fires Bruce and puts Henrik Sedin in the interim job. Henrik, like Linden agrees because he loves the team; and like Linden ends up being the scapegoat for more continued failure. The ownership would then be responsible for dissing two former captains and heros of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkNuk Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Last season, after 25 games under Green, the Canucks had a .360 point percentage. BB came in and over the next 57 games the Canucks had a .649 point percentage. This season, after 16 games under BB, the Canucks have a .344 point percentage. Maybe we just have a team of slow starters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaNuCkSLoUiE23 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Bruce is JR’s scapegoat for icing an AHL-level defensive corps. Wouldn’t be surprised if he fires BB within the next few weeks; senile old man is so out of touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
