News about Bruce Boudreau

Bruce Boudreau has been fired as the Vancouver Canucks' head coach after another disappointing season, and they have swapped him for veteran NHL player and mentor Rick Tocchet. The Canucks announced the change on Sunday, less than a week after president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford said'major surgery' was required to fix the Canucks, who have only played in the playoffs once in the last eight years. This season, Vancouver has lost 28 of its 46 games. 'This was not a straightforward decision to make, but one that we felt was important for this brand,' general manager Patrik Allvin said in a tweet thanking Boudreau for his service.'
