The way they did it was still wrong. They didn’t need to do that to Bruce. It could have been handled a lot better.
 

That being said, Tocchet is still the right coach for this roster and where this team is at in it’s development. 

That kind of thing happens all the time. The difference was that Sportsnet helped leak the thing early and then talked trash about Canucks not doing it sooner. Sportsnet / Toronto loves to try to make fun of us any chance they get.

The Canucks org didn't do anything wrong.  The media leaked it is what happened. Coaches get fired all the time, they just don't often play out in front of the cameras is all. The organization arranged for the new staff to start on a particular date and they stuck with it. As Rutherford stated [paraphasing] we won't allow outside influences (private media and social media pseudo justice warriors) to dictate how we conduct our business.

 

Bruce was caught in the middle.

 

And real nice of the media to do that to him, too. Elliot Friedman stated he's sat on stories before because he knew what the implications would be. So where was the restraint on that one? Granted, it is widely believed the leak came from TNT when Tocc put his notice in so a story like that was likely never gonna stay quiet for very long. So if it wasn't Friedman breaking would've been someone else.  Just a byproduct of the media beast and the entertainment business that is NHL hockey when you break it down.

 

All that aside, 100% agree. Tocchet is the right man for the job.

Yeah I just made a big reply to this too.

Media business are a bunch of jackals. But... that's the job, right?

We have a great management team - they saw the holes that need to be filled in this team and they went out and did it… Congratulations - thank you very much for this new management team - they’re doing a great job

 

And thank you Benning for getting us a few good players
