I'll see what happens all I know is that Bruce Boudreau will never be forgotten in Vancouver
Damn is that Vancouver Canucks symbol behind them boring 😴
Dan Murphy with the Bruce question right out the gate.
Good on him for being a reporter and asking tough questions.
hes brutal sometimes but respect to him for that question 1st up haha
Get ‘em Murph
Good on him for asking. Jim’s answer said a whole lot of nothing.
Murphy is a joke. Useless talking head who clearly annoys the Canucks players with his lame questions.
BRUCE THERE IT IS!
Bruce There He Goes Miss ya Bruce you were really a Beauty of a Human Being
@@Ball2VanGuye still is a human being just cause he’s fired doesn’t mean he turns into an alien 😂
How did that chant come about and what does it mean
GET AQUILINI OUTTA HERE
Agreed! He is the biggest problem with all these mess.
I'll tell him you said so. But I know what he's gonna say: I'm the freaking owner. Don't like it? Don't buy tickets. Don't buy merch. Don't watch the games on TV. Otherwise... zip it. Cuz I ain't selling the team.
Needs to take Rutherford with him!
Y.... because he likes team to win..... it's business Bud..... maybe when you grow up you'll know.
I know where Aquilini lives I partied at his house before.
I saw this comment elsewhere, but it's so true, Rick Tocchet is the new, awkward step-dad to a fanbase heartbroken by a divorce 😂
All step dads are cucks
Except the outgoing dad did nothing wrong.
Unfortunately this isn't tocchet's fault but ya, he's not gonna have much support since he replaced beloved Bruce. I wish tocchet luck but he's walking into a management shitshow. Last regime to blame too.
Rick tochhet has made us a playoff team, mad respect. I always like listening to his post game interviews as they are honest and straightforward 💙💚💙
@@sukhmanisingh1903 oh definitely. The past year made a huge difference.
"This took on a life of its own", "It was driven by speculation, not by us". Right, that's why Rutherford said LAST YEAR that Bruce was not his coach, then expressed disappointment that Bruce had an option for a second year, then said his coach provided no structure to the team, then said he was our coach "today". Right, not driven by you at all, Jim. Gimme a break.
U got it right buddy…
This is a technique called "Piss on them, and tell them it's raining." It's common in business.
Excellent summary of the FACTS!
pretty sure aqualini thought it was good idea and then jim got fked by what transpired over this year and how badly the team was doing, and so that comment slipped by, basically trashing his boss, which I like 😂
Massively out of touch if he genuinely thinks he had no hand in feeding the shitstorm around Bruce.
If treating people like crap publicly equals championships, I’m pretty sure most sane people would call that unethical. What a boneheaded answer by Patrik.
Ha, if that technique worked, the Ballard era Leafs would have had 15 Cups.
Did you notice Alvin speaks when Rutherford allowed him to speak?
@@johnw817 not surprising.. PA was JR’s assistant GM and his interim replacement in PIT. As much as PA is the GM, it’s JR making the moves and changes. PA is just the face.
“But I learned from it.” Jim, FFS, you’re in your 70s. If you’re still making these mistakes, give up, man. Not being a jerk to a beloved coach is a rookie mistake and it reflects on you not just as a professional but as a human being. At least we have good sports journalists like Dan Murphy who care enough to ask the hard but obvious questions.
Please ditch the canucks. I am ditching them. We need to hurt this org in their pockets if there’s to be any change
Jim's 70 with a 6 year old...Go figure
His choices in life and with this team SUCK
Every GM and/or President have the right to make a coaching change if they don't feel the current coach is doing the job, but to openly admit to searching for Boudreau's replacement while he's still on the job is tasteless, classless and beyond reason. Shame on you Jim Rutherford!! Great on the fans for showing Boudreau the respect he deserves. Best of luck to you, Bruce Boudreau, in your future endeavors!
it’s more like the 2 stooges can’t blame this on toc he’s been offered a job and he took it
Yep it's the way they handled it. That was Disgraceful
Every mid season firing, teams interview coaches while on the current coach is on the job.
The issue was that they let it dragged on as long as they did
@@demers99it was somehow made public by JR himself…as a Pens fan, I’m not surprised by his ineptitude with these issues……..
Man, I’m glad we fired him at the time we did…he needs to retire for goodness sake. He’s the reason we had to retool our roster to begin with because of bad trades and bad contracts! Good lord help me here! If it wasn’t for that difficult decision to fire him, we would be the Blackhawks and Sharks right now.
As for Vancouver, What a joke of an organization
The fans and players were given the middle finger for no reason but to be petty.
Three happy go lucky looking guys. The body language here speaks of defensiveness and embarrassment. Just how you'd like to feel on your first day on the job, and introducing your guy for the job. Y'know, all they had to do is not re-sign Bruce at the end of the season, thank him so much, and then introduce Tocchet after a couple days. And everyone would be happy. Instead, this registers about a 7.5 on the Harold Ballard Scale.
“He’s a friend, I feel very bad about it” LOL not convinced bro
Shoutout murph for going at jim right away. Then ofc jim apologizes for the wrong thing imo
Time for Murph to get fired too. He's a clown.
Yeah, the whole attitude of “oh you guys just can’t handle my honesty” is such bullshit.
All I take from this is that Allvin and Rutherford can't do their jobs properly. It's not a coach problem. The issue is the GM giving people with one good season too much money and trading for bad contracts and then running into cap issues
Woops
Vancouver is a fun place to play for visiting teams, true that!
man, what a classless management team. we knew that already from their actions, but their words confirm it. I dont know Tocchet, but the poor guy get's to step into a city that is predisposed to hate him.
Tocchet has monumental shoes to fill and if the team doesn't start winning the Bruce chants will be relentless
In Pittsburgh we are grateful for the two Cups we got with Rutherford but he left us in shambles and a cap disaster and then quit on the team weeks into a new season. Classless.
As a nucks fan. I'll take 2 cups for a classesness any day hah
Trevor Linden must be laughing really hard right now!!
He loves Vancouver and the franchise. I doubt it. He dedicated most of his life to this team. They screwed him too.
Linden hired Benning and Desjardins. He did not do a good job either!!
Allvin is brutal
They should have hired darche as gm
agree totally
Whenever Allvin talks, you can see Rutherford on edge waiting to cut in because he knows Patrik doesn’t know what to say. It’s not a knock on him as a person necessarily but wow, even Benning looked more composed as a GM in his early days. It’s like dad bought a kid a hockey team and he’s almost babysitting him. That’s not what this franchise needs. We’re not an expansion team.
@@christhornycroft3686 This franchise is a big mess. Francesco Aquilini should sell the team. Vancouver will never win a Stanley Cup with Aquilini as the owner. Vancouver Canucks sucks!
Hell Jim Benning had more personality then this bot. That's saying alot
Jim the reason there was no improvement is because the roster is severely flawed and zero defence with too many anchor contracts that can’t be moved
YUP
its literally been one year.. Were there any defensive players ripe for the picking since he's been here? please give us some players that Jim should have targeted in free agency this past year that could have improved the team. man, some of you Canucks fans are so delusional..
@@turtlebeef Yes, yes because it’s been only one year the Canucks have had zero defence and multiple anchor contracts impossible to move
@@jcvandamme6343 yeah, due to the previous GM's mess.. Nuck Fans act like Rutherford is the failure because he didn't address the defense in just one year, but the fact is there was no options to improve it thu free agency OR thu trades. Its a very difficult situation that clearly goes well beyond the majority of the fans comprehension..
@@turtlebeef Sure but didn't he know that before he took the job? It's not as if this is a big secret.
The way they handled letting Bruce go…. I feel will be stain on this organization they might never get out
They said that about the 2011 riots
it won't with toxic fans being encouraged by a media that origianlly said Bruce would be done when Rutherford was hired. people here have short memories i guess.
Nahhh. Y'all too soft.
@@irubanomlas and it is a stain that will never wash out.
There’s lots of stains on this organization, with Bruce unlike with Green he’s was just here for a single season and did his absolute best (while winning over the fans and players) with his hands tied by management. I’m not saying he should stay or go, I’m just saying the way they handled the situation is just classless.
Polo, sweater and blazer pretty much sums up Jim's decision making abilities
so good
give the world a break, would you prefer jerseys or three piece suits?? no wonder things are toxic in van with this fan base.
Grandpa swag
Layers
Bring back Burkie with the ramshackle loosened tie look.
Gonna miss Bruce a lot. Rutherford embarassed the man.
Naw, Rutherford embarrassed himself.
It's my view that Rutherford embarrassed himself, not Boudreau. Bruce can hold his head high while
Rutherford can't.
Nah man! Bruce embarrassed Rutherford like he did when he scored his first goal against Rutherford
Yes let's replace him with a coach with a losing record!!! LOL!! Bruce was a great guy!! It is shameful how they treated Bruce! Take care Bruce it wasn't your fault!!
I thought they shouldn't have fired Bruce, but lets be fair here, Rick Tocchet coaching the Coyotes over the past few years was going to have a losing record if he was the best coach in existence.
This comment aged poorly 😂
Canucks are taking quite a gamble on hiring Tocchet. 😆
Well played sir!
They took quite a gamble hiring Rutherford. Kiss all that goodwill goodbye.
I was going to say not much of a gamble when you are at the bottom but I see what you did there.
I lost all my respect for Rutherford and Allvin. The way they treated Boudreau was totally classless.
For sure classless
They are both classless! They should be both fired than Bruce.
It's fairly obvious that the fan base confidence and interest at an all time low and are EXTREMELY unhappy with this particular management. Maybe apologize to the FANS?
Also, is it Just me or are they hiring based on follicle count?
Pretty sure its PR 101, never ever admit you were wrong..
@Wedge oh for sure. But eventually you have have to.
Lol🤣🤣
I actually can't believe we kept Mike Yeo. I'm actually devastated.
I am astounded he's still here.
Pittsburgh West.
3 coaches in 14 months? Maybe try changing the roster and first off get rid of the cancer Miller, then keep the #tankforbedard going!
The problem is, players's salaries cost more than the coaches. Coaches get let go quicker because their payout amount is far less than any player. I imagine if it was a tossup between Boudreau and Miller, it would be Boudreau who'd get the boot everytime even if it was Miller's fault and not his own because Miller costs too much, like when they signed that ludicrous deal at season's start.
Looks like a Wake!
Bruce, There It Is!
They should have let Bruce finish the season. Aimed for number one (In the Draft)!
Loving this presser. Allvin starts by saying the firing was his decision and the reporters bat away the BS and zero in on Rutherford.
BS
Allvin is the biggest nothing burger gm in the league
Nothing like starting a press conference with a big fat lie. That's upper class management for sure.
@Michael La yes !!!! He's garbage...I guarantee the other 31 gms chuckle each time euro-tool opens his mouth.
Jim’s attitude here made me lose respect for him. I understand it being uncomfortable to be the subject of so much scrutiny, but you aren’t making it any better with the “you just can’t handle my honesty” and “I know more than you do”.
We love you Bruce in Vancouver
Angry Birdy Fanboudreau Base !
"Thanks for coming out here on a short notice."
Yeah, it's not like we've seen this coming for literal weeks.
So who's the actual gm of the Canucks ??
Aquillini
@@Eastvanucks you sped
IT AFFECTED THE WHOLE DAMN TEAM!!! Open your eyes Rutherford!
Francesco Aquilini makes Harold Ballard look like a saint.
This has got to be the darkest time in Canucks history!!!
Owner Aquilini & management team should be gone!!
Disgusting how Bruce Boudreau has been treated. What an embarrassment Canucks organization is.
Bo Horvat's contract should have been finalized before J.T. Miller.
Our CAPTAIN should be staying as he's having an excellent season. Bruce Boudreau is a classy guy and will be greatly missed by all. We love Bruce!!💔
The bottom half of the lineup wasn't up to expectations. Rutherford said earlier in another broadcast he tried in the off season to make some deals but couldn't get anything to come together. Jimmy, were you dealing for the top half or the bottom half of the roster? Surely you could have come up with something to shore up the bottom half, even a little!'
No kidding...surely a 1.5 million dollar stud penalty killer could have been found
BRUCE THERE IT IS
Haven’t seen the Canucks in this much disarray since the Messier Keenan era.
I think Allvin miss spoke. I don't think HE decided to replace Bruce today. Clearly, Jim R made the decision not him.
Or he’s the GM and it’s supposed to be his job. Having said that, you’re right. Rutherford made the decision and Allvin did what he was told. He’s basically learning on the job.
Uhhh uhhh Allvin is not a GM, he is rutherfords chief diaper changer.
19:38 Thomas Drance's turn. After hearing Drance rip management at every turn this past month I was most interested in hearing what he had to say to them.
Everyone looks just thrilled
Just a bunch of rich pricks, from ownership on down.
Low energy!! Why would Tocchet join this CIRCUS?!
Good job Murph!!!
reminds me of the three stoges larry curly and moe not a clue what they are doing
Absolutely disgusting what Management have done to Bruce!! This franchise didn’t deserve a man with such class, respect and all round decent human being. This is the final straw for me with this dumpster fire of an organisation. The Vancouver Canucks are an embarrassment and I’ll be glad to put my money elsewhere. What a shame! I hope people stop going to the games, I hope people cancel their memberships and I hope it hurts Management in the only place they know, their bank account! Absolutely disgraceful establishment!! I hope it burns to the ground after this latest stunt of theirs!!
It's not Canucks..... it's the media.....if Coach is not winning.... management's job is to see what are other options.....
@@jazzgill585 and a team has every right to do so, but the way Management have handled this whole clown show and the way Bruce was treated throughout is the problem! Their (Managements) behaviour and lack of class, followed with no decent human respect towards Bruce (the fans too, given we are the ones who give our time and money to watch this sport) shows a real problem within the Canucks organisation and it clearly starts from the top and filters all the way down… for me, personally, I don’t want any part of it anymore. I hope this decision hits them where it truly hurts… their bank accounts.
Update.. New coach and now the highest scoring team in the league. Boy don't you look dumb now
Alvin:
..ah...hi...umm...I hired...da...ummm.ahh...did I mention ah...
Tocchet:
Rutherford and Alvin are 1st class guys 🤣
Me: turned off the tv
If I owned the Leafs, I would be on the phone to Bruce and offer him a job as a assistant coach of the Leafs TOMORROW! I watched Bruce play his 1st NHL game as a Maple Leaf and wouldn't it be something if he went to Toronto and won a Cup as a Leaf on the Coaching staff! Bruce there it is!!
I'm glad the fans stood up for Bruce. The whole situation was so poorly handled, truly one if the most embarrassing moments for this franchise. I think this move is the right one however. I just hope we don't start winning. We need to cash in on this year's draft, Bedard or not..
OEL played his worst hockey in Arizona under Tocchet. Now Rick plans to lean on OEL? Good luck with that
"Great restaurants." Yeah okay, but our sandwiches, make sure he mentions the sandwiches.
“Great restaurants” will soon be a classic. It’s up there with Burke’s “To move this team takes one phone call. One phone call. $0.25 on a pay phone to move this team”. The “Sedin is not Swedish for punch me, or headlock me in a scrum” is up there as well
It's like going through the Ballard era again only this time it's vancouver. Bruce deserved better Good luck Vancouver fans you're gonna need it
Thinx Were Gonna WIN NOW !
One last time: BRUCE!!! There It Is!!!!
This Is 4 the PRESS CONFERENCE ?! MAN IF THEY WERE WINS 4 IN ROW N' YOULL HEAR RICK THERE HE IS BLESSES BRUCE !
I think Jim and Patrick were afraid Bruce might go on a winning streak and ruin their tanking plans. There it is.
100% logical. Now we can complete the tank for Bedard.
Alvin made the decision ... in theory only.
1 year later. Coach of the year you’re looking at … being nice is not a prerequisite for success
Mr. Bruce Boudreau hit the nail on the head, when asked, 'Why are you still coaching this team today?' - Canucks management / ownership is SO DISGUSTINGLY SELF-CONCERNED over this decision, they let Boudreau coach out the games vs: Tampa, Edmonton, et al, to let the 'new guy' start with a bunch of lesser competition: Boudreau - "Maybe because the next three games are Chicago, Seattle and Columbus"; EXACTLY, all teams The Canucks have a LOT BETTER CHANCE to beat. Won't that look good for the 'new guy', coming, competing in the 1st three games of his hiring? Kudos to Mr. Boudreau for calling out the political set-up. The Canucks current management team and ownership have acted disgustingly.
Oh boy. Good question there about OEL. We think he’s had it rough so far this year. Remember when he struggled in Arizona? And the team hired Tocchet, a guy he’s had a hard time getting along with.
Hahaha it's almost like they do it on purpose. Either that or their aloofness has been incredibly unfortunate.
Side note I'm glad Toch is stoked about the restaurants.
"As of this morning I decided to do a coaching change..."
Sounds like he just woke up that day and amazingly the media had time to come, Rick Tocchet was nearby and all contracts could be signed. All on that morning.
Amazing.
Trust me every Canucks fan is upset that Bruce is gone, but I genuinely think Tocchet gave off a really good first impression. Let’s see what the results look like.
Yeah, we're only mad at rutherford, tocchet gets a full 100% clean slate chance IMO. He had no impact on the decision/handling up to this point.
Don’t see the results. Ditch this team please stop supporting a toxic organization
yea with a bottom of the league schedule set up for basically the remainder of the season - even I could make a really good impression.
Somewhere along the line you missed the point.
Thought he came across as a cliche flipping cement block
Thanx Jim ! Bruce Stood Tall N' Like I Said I Believe In This TEAM N' Rick I Even Like KEENAN NOW 4 EVA GO CANUCKS GO !
I can’t even believe Yeo and King are staying!
$$$
For now
I haven't been so disappointed in the Canucks organization. It's the contracts on players they signed that is the problem. Not the coaching.
From a 21 year ice pack holder.
That’s it Rick, ask Jim if you’re allowed to speak. Surprised Jim didn’t turn to Aquillini to ask permission. Classless organization.
Another puppet just like the one sitting in the middle
#wewantbruceback
Well, total B.S. right off the top of this press conference.
Allvin "decided" nothing, it is Rutherford who is making all the decisions for the Canucks.
Allvin is mostly functioning as Rutherford's executive assistant.
if you don't have the youtube dislike viewer extension, the like/dislike ratio for this video is 132/167 as of 4:35pm PST 01/22/23
I didn’t know that was a thing. Thanks.
The problem with the Vancouver Canucks isn't coaching it is the on ice talent. Was the Boeser contract good, NO. Was the Miller contract good, NO. Vancouver is smack up against the cap. They have big contracts with players that aren't earning them. They are not going to be able to sign Horvat, and likely not Kuzmenko. If I was Patrik Allvin, I would start looking for a job, as he is likely to be next. Patrik, remember Bruce, it won't be pleasant when Rutherford starts putting you under the team bus.
Love the the new coaches. Let’s go on a heater and see what happens.
Patrick Uhhlvin
Felt like Rick bullshitted his way through this presser. What's the over-under for how long he lasts? I'd say 2.5 years.
End of this season
Tocchet sure looks excited!
They all look depressed.
The bald boys
Dead man walking.
@@MiniatureTheGuy 😂
like what Rick said about JT, interested to see whats coming for the team
Did anybody count how many "AH" in the opening statement?
But you kept Mike Yeo????
Any hope for the Canucks (after 50+ years) is now at an all-time low.
So sad!
I always thought that Vancouver didn't have an L in it...but now I see that there are a bunch of them on the Canucks management team.
That aged sooo well
We want Bruce back
I’m from the UK. I have been following the Canucks for as long as I can remember. Bertuzzi days. The reason being? Because I had connections in this city. It’s well known in some circles that people from the UK are fiercely loyal to their teams when it comes to football (soccer) and so on. It hurts my heart to think that I am considering to stop following this team. My soccer team is run by morons but I can’t stop following them as it’s sacrilegious but the team I follow on the ice seems to be also. I’ve just given up. There’s only so much one man can take!
You know the Canucks are brutal when they can break the soul of a UK football fan!
@@scottelement there’s just too much of a correlation with moron owners! Sad times.
Around 31:00 when Drance stated “you’re going to lose some good players before the deadline, right?” Allvin furrowed his brow in confusion, seems he’s planning to stand pat.
In a few months, when the media complains "we hardly hear anything from Rutherford," remember this day.
@@michaella5799 Sounds like our Prime Minister, "Uhh...umm....uhh...."
Aww that is too bad poor Jim. SARCASM
Rick: “Yeah that’s the big elephant in the room, right? Like all these different things. To me, I know it’s an old saying but small bites at a time. You know, we just gotta go in every day, take a bite. You can’t swallow that elephant in one bite, right?”
Me: “Um, could someone please explain the ‘elephant in the room’ metaphor to Rick?
Patrick: “Rick’s not the smartest guy in the room, and neither am I.”
Me: “Oh ok, never mind then.”
Can you get a microphone for the people asking a question?
Been a Canucks fan for a long time, and I have never felt more embarassed than seeing how this organization's management has treated it's people and players, such as Bruce and Bo.
This has single handedly made me give up on this team. And I’ve been here through MANY of the hard times. It’s inexcusable.
When Rick is talking….Jim and Patrick look like….oh sh*t we hired this guy lol….on the other hand I liked the way Rick played hockey.
, hopefully it will work.
WE WANT BRUCE
👏
The only way to improve that team is to get rid of management.their treatment of Bruce is a disgrace
This will be used for years to come as a lesson for execs on how NOT to run a hockey franchise lol
Nice to see a new captain on the Titanic!
First question for me: Why do you only mention the structure as if the coach is the only problem?
It’s going to be a looong couple seasons
Jesus. Jim Rutherford has the most hair of the bunch.
The sooner they get rid of those 3 at the table the better off the Canucks will be. When the players lose confidence in leadership it’s over.
I wonder if the guy in the middle thinks he’s the GM.
Killin it at lookin like a younger Jimmy Ruthless though
#StandwithBruce
Wait, Rick Tocchet had a 'gambling thing' ? this is probably not going to end well.
Cocaine habit also!!!!
Appalling the way this organization treated Boudreau, Bruce is a great coach and will have no trouble finding work somewhere else.
Bruce There It Is!
somebody get Rick Tocchet some kneepads and a towel. .. oh nevermind he already has them.
Oh wow, nice one!
❤
coach of the year! reading these comments.. yall really hated him 😂
im at the community in surrey b.c
Allvin is just a yes man for Rutherford. He doesnt even have the presence of mind to look up when speaking to the public .
