Ballisticsports Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I wonder who wanted him at centre? Did anyone else on here even suggest that? Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawbone Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Just found that clip and… it’s mind-boggling. And it sounds like it wasn’t just a one time suggestion either. It’s not like the team didn’t have a couple of amazing centres already, Quinn is way more valuable on D. We gotta find out who it was!

Popular Post van_can_fan Posted January 13 Popular Post Share Posted January 13 (edited) I’m losing respect for Boudreau. This is such a pointless and strange thing to come out with, especially at this point when the team is having all kinds of success after letting you go. He was certainly a fan favourite but a few times since being let go he’s handled himself like nothing more than an entitled and disgruntled ex employee. I would prefer him to quit talking about the Canucks at this point. Edited January 13 by van_can_fan 4 1 3 7 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Haven't listened to the clip, but I'd be surprised if it was at any serious level - both in the person's importance and in the weight of their suggestion. It was probably a bit of a thought exercise if anything and he's made it into something bigger. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Apparently everyone's favourite assistant to the video guy Rachel Doh-rie or however you spell it confirmed Boudreau's claim. For whatever her word is worth to you. All in all, it's funny. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Someone may or may not have said something that never happened, but it's a dig on the Canucks so it's a story. The hockey media is full of douches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) And this was suggested before Hughes leveled up his shot.... Hmmm, maybe move Conor Garland back to D? Edited January 13 by Wilbur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think she was worse at her job than idiots like Green, WD, Baumgartner, Milbury, Dubas, or Gillis?

Goalie29 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 When elite athletes have that much talent, they could probably excel at any position, or maybe even any sport. It sort of reminds me of the time when I was a spectator at the skins game at Predator Ridge. The golfers were Weir, Garcia, Couples and Mikkelson. At one hole on the back nine, the two righties swapped clubs with the two lefties, and they all still hit shots like it was their natural hands. In the same way, I feel like if Hughes wanted to play center, he would still be amazing and make it look effortless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SV. Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Next, we'll hear a story about how somebody in the organization wanted Demko to play net-front on the PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jess Posted January 13 Popular Post Share Posted January 13 I suspect it wasn't really that serious of a request. I don't mine Bruce bringing this up. I find it bizarre how many people are all of a sudden not team Bruce anymore. I really think you have to search pretty hard to see ill intent with a story like this. 1 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Bruce "You want Hughes as a C?" JR/PA "Yeah we can see him as the future C of the team. IDK if we're able to keep Horvat here long-term." BB "I mean I am not sure how he'd be able to handle the load as a C.." JR/PA "I don't think much will change... though I am sure some things would be different." BB "Okay..." QH "You want me as the C? but Horvat is the C!??!" BB "This came from up top, I am just as confused as you!" BH "What the hell, Hughes is gonna be the captain now?!?" BB "Captain?!?! I was switching him to center!" BH "Oh okay... wait, WHAT?!?!" JR/PA "You thought we meant center?!?!" BB "Well you weren't very elaborative..." JR/PA "For god's sake Bruce!!!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureQuickness Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I'm guessing when Hughes was drafted, there was a fear that Hughes would be too small to be a defenseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
