Why would a new coach want to walk into that situation? I mean a decent one and not just one that is desperate to get back into the NHL. Tocchet sucks.
Not the biggest Boudreau fan but he is a quality NHL that deserves way better than this. Just ridiculous.
The Canucks are a terribly constructed team. They barely have NHL quality defensemen. Say what you will about Hughes but he is far from a top pairing D man. He will make flashy offensive plays but flubs the standard defensive ones. His reads, angles and gaps are brutal. He doesn't know or doesn't care. Probably both. Hard to blame an over worked goaltender behind ####ty team defence for the clubs woes.
