THE MOJ: Canucks should be nothing but embarrassed in wake of coaching change
It had been speculated for weeks that Vancouver Canucks Head Coach Bruce Boudreau would be relieved of his duties and the move finally took place this past Sunday when Rick Tocchet was introduced as the 21st head coach in the franchise’s history during a press conference at Rogers Arena.
It is, however, a concentrated effort by the organization to make Allvin look like the decision-maker but it sure didn’t fool the media, who then directed a barrage of questions towards Rutherford – not Allvin. “It was played out in way that was out of our control. We can only do our business the way we see fit. We can’t change our business based on speculation. There’s all kind of speculation out there. It’s not any different than most situations in professional sports,” explained Rutherford, then using Boudreau’s hiring in Vancouver as an example.The media – particularly the so-called insiders – get the vast majority of their information from hockey executives and agents.
