Yeah, glad the drama is over. We have a new coaching staff, and the potential for a new team identity. Look forward to seeing how the players respond, how the systems work, who stays and who goes. Love that there’s no pressure to win. 30 games to spend in the garage to tinker, a likely active TDL, and off-season, and a top 10 pick in a deep draft. 

Yup, I believe the worst may be behind us and best of all there shouldn’t be any more excuses for not moving in a progressive direction. About 5 weeks until TDL. Interesting times ahead.

It’s a dream come true.

Get those letters out folks. Let’s make national news by swamping the post office in Bruce’s town. Took me 15

minutes and will mean so much to Bruce  and his family.

I'll mail one from NYC once I get home.

Can’t tell if sarcastic…. 78% sure

No, I’m pro change.

So much respect for everyone involved and their attempt to make it work. 
it was thoroughly exhausted, had to come to an end.

 

At least we know with this coming iteration that there will be no excuses.

the professionalism and character of players with honour, the types like Schenn and EP and even Lazar, will be the dominant trait of our identity.

at least this is what I hope we develop.

 

personally, with the way his growth and maturation is trending, and the grit and tenacity and confidence he is showing in his physical side of the game… if EP and Tocchet can develop a connection and understanding, I hope this becomes the trigger point in his career where a coach and player draw from and reciprocate the best of each other, and EP officially becomes elite. 

this could be the transformation required where he unanimously proves to be the defacto team captain and the next Linden.
 

this is what I hope is just the baseline outcome for this club.

Just read this article and got a bit sad again when I read the part I pasted  below the link

 

https://theathletic.com/4119167/2023/01/23/bruce-boudreau-exclusive-canucks-firing/?amp=1
 

 

One high-profile player came into Boudreau’s office and was crying uncontrollably and audibly as he hugged him in front of assistants. On Sunday, Boudreau got a slew of texts from his players, including “the most beautiful text” from sometimes-maligned J.T. Miller.

She found him, but he was Swedish, then Karls son tried to woo her.  He's a keeper, she thought

Turns out he was American and lived in north  Dakota. She ended up learning how to Hog tie some cattle. She ended up with a huge cut on her leg and needed some Vasili ne to clean it up. 
 

She ended up moving back to Oliver, BC. She eventually got pregnant and ended up having Quinn tuplets. Ended up moving back to Vancouver and was a regular at Riley’s steakhouse. She eventually met a new guy who was bigger than Andrei the Giant.  His favourite beer was Miller lite. They got drunk together one night and she ended up in the hospital with a broken Foote. Andrei needed a King sized bed to stay with her over night. 
 

She eventually was released from the hospital, moved to Sweden and went All vin with a new guy named Petey.

Probably Boeser, Boudreau was here when his Dads health got worse.
