Breaking News - Bruce Boudreau to be fired tonight
The future of Bruce Boudreau might be the NHL's worst kept secret. The Vancouver Canucks have reportedly already hired Rick Tocchet, who had been quietly putting together his own coaching staff. All the while Boudreau has shown class and dignity behind the Canucks bench.
Now according to David Pagnotta, after tonight's game the Canucks will finally put Boudreau out of his misery.
In the "worst kept secrets" department: All signs point to tonight being Bruce Boudreau's last game as #Canucks head coach.
A Monday press conference to officially announce the coaching change is expected, with Rick Tocchet (who arrives in Van this wknd) set to take over.
After last night's game, Canucks fans have shared how difficult this entire situation has been and it's not hard to believe that this will have a long reaching impact on how players view the team going forward. Don't be surprised if players look at this treatment and opt to sign elsewhere after this beloved coach has been clearly mistreated.
The good news is, Boudreau likely won't be out of a job long as many teams have reportedly shown interest in the coach in the past.
At least Canucks' fans showed Brucey the respect he deserved last night.
