Probably gambles on the Nux to lose. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/ex-nhl-coach-tocchet-pleads-guilty-in-gambling-ring-1.646572 Ex-NHL coach Tocchet pleads guilty in gambling ring CBC Sports · Posted: May 25, 2007 12:01 PM EDT | Last Updated: May 25, 2007 There is a lot of content on YouTube of Tocchet and TNT and he’s a great personality and his philosophy on coaching is really great. He’s a 3 time Stanley cup champion. He knows what is required of a winning team. His interview with Spittin Chicklets is also a really great listen. At this point, I’d have more respect for management if they let Bruce go from this circus show. Publicly calling out your coach the way they did — did some irreparable damage, subliminally.

MaxVerstappen33 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) I guess we have to give him a chance. I cant see it being any different than some half baked Travis Green type defensive systems. If you are gonna go that way, go all the way. Hire Guy Boucher. But whatever. That ain't gonna happen now.

My concern is that Tocchet will be hired and they'll start winning some games down the stretch. They are hoping for another brucey bump to get us into the playoff picture, and i have a feeling they might just get it. We wilk still miss the playoffs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried finding some Tocchet gifs so we could laugh at him a bit. But there's basically none. I am not sure if thats a good thing or not. But seriously , lets give him a chance. Hopefully he doesnt figure it out till next year, so we can get a draft pick Edited January 16, 2023 by MaxVerstappen33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Twitter reports today also suggesting Sergei Gonchar may join Tocchet’s staff as an assistant coach to handle the defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Warhippy Posted January 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2023 Canucks in line to figure out their roster and get solid returns on assets like Schenn Horvat and possibly Kuzmenko/Boeser/Miller. As well as get decent odds in one of three franchise defining centres in this year's heavy draft. What do they do? Hire a coach with "structure" who has made numerous comments about not liking to play small offensive defensemen, has a worse win/loss record than Green and will cause a "bump" in wins ensuring that the team plays itself out of one of those draft picks while also most likely doing the Canuck thing of not trading assets in hopes of continuing the new coach bump to the playoffs because "structure" Did I miss anything? 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I guess instead of picking top 5 and moving assets to build for the future the management is content trying to draft 15 OA and moving assets to squeak into the playoffs only to just get in and get swept in the first round or miss out and get a pick in no mans land again. ... and so it continues, this is the sordid history of the Canucks and the life of a lifelong Canuck fan. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if thats a good thing or not. He’s not an idiot, I don’t know where that narrative came from. He’s a players coach, and went on the record saying he never went more than 3 days without talking to each and every player. He also said you can win with any type of system, it’s about getting the players to buy into it. Every player needs to be treated a little different, but he went on to say that he expects players to stick up for another and lead each other. He doesn’t put up with any of that pouting stuff. His gambling incident is not reflective of the type of person he is. He’s a young coach, has cup pedigree and experience, and is eager to coach.

higgyfan Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 If this happens, I will be so disgusted with this management team. The lack of respect for Boudreau is a bad look for this team. It shows a management that is lacking in decency and class. Just let Bruce play out his contract and make the changes in the offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Quennevilles suppression of rape allegations in a race to win a cup is also not reflective if the type of person he is and at least he has a solid winning record as a coach. If we're taking a coach who may have potentially match fixed his games in a sports gambling operation why not stop picking and choosing what we're willing to overlook and take Quenneville. We already hired Tallon afterall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or sack Bruce and appoint one of the assistants as acting coach. Find a new guy out of all the coaches that will be available, in the off season don't just pick a guy now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made it out, Rick took heat, but he wasn’t the ring leader. I’m not about to debate morality here, but knowing someone was being continuously raped and abused and turning a blind eye to it is far worse than any type of “match fixing”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The last thing this team needs right now is a 'coaching bump' that moves them into the middle of the pack for the draft again. Just ride this year out. It's so pointless to make any changes now to the coaching staff. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 It's time to play the game: Find Your Clown Name! It's like the Find Your Elf Name, or Find Your Porn Name, but slightly different. Francesco, Jim, and Allvin, the way to play is very simple: rather than taking this initial or that initial and matching them to funny names, you take your first name and your last name, and voila; it's that easy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I guess I'll find something else to do. There is no excuse for hiring this worthless piece of garbage and I can't in good conscience support the franchise if Rutherford is enough is a scumbag to disgrace the franchise by bringing in this parasite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
