It's been over a year since the Canucks hired Rick Tocchet to take over from the beloved Bruce Boudreau. While the way this coaching change occurred didn't make the Canucks fans favourites, nobody argues that it was the right move.
The dynamic the Canucks displayed has changed a whole lot ever since the Americans took over, and the dividends are paying as the Canucks will be going into the playoffs for the first time in far too long. Today marked a special day for the Canucks' pilot, and the team issued a celebratory statement to recognize it.
The Canucks head coach, now 60 years old, presents his best career numbers behind the Canucks' bench. Will these numbers keep on improving? We can only hope so!
