The Vancouver Canucks are playing against the rebuilding Arizona Coyotes tonight, and you'd think management wouldn't want to be short-handed offensively against a weaker team. However, Bruce Boudreau made the tough decision of scratching Brock Boeser, who put up 14 points in the last 18 games.
The decision is puzzling, as the Twitter commentariat is getting in on the action as well. The Coyotes appear to be the perfect team to right the ship against, or so you'd think.
They're not wrong, as you haven't seen this kind of discipline towards J.T. Miller, who despite being paid handsomely doesn't back-check and is not going to be a Selke Candidate in the future.
