If the Canucks are tanking why fire BB? Don't teams usually get a bump after a new coach gets hired?

Some organizations don't know how to do things properly

The legendary SCF speech, playing through that hand injury, the comments on the Provorov situation the other day, these comments, etc. He's going to play less than two seasons and he might be one of my all-time favourite Avs. It's easy to see why everyone loves him.

When’s the last time that organization did anything remotely sensible?

That said, it’s pretty clear Rutherford never, ever wanted Boudreau. He begrudgingly re-signed Bruce after a protracted negotiation and then proceeded to eviscerate him publicly every chance he got. Now he’s got his guy, yet another leftover crony from Pittsburgh.
