After Bruce Boudreau was majorly disrespected by the Vancouver Canucks organization, he has already found another job, resulting in his unemployment not lasting very long.

Boudreau was fired on January 22nd in what was one of the messiest coach terminations that the entire league has possibly seen ever. He was basically fired weeks before he was officially fired; he knew it, the fans knew it, and the league knew it.

Dragging him along until he was rendered useless was one of the most classless things that we have seen occur in the Canucks’ history. The Canucks organization didn’t choose to wait until the end of the season or during a lengthy break to let him go. They waited until Rick Tocchet was able to leave his panelist role and officially put pen on paper to claim the role.

All the Canucks fans rallied behind Boudreau, as they knew that his final game would be on January 21st when the Canucks lost an emotional game to the Edmonton Oilers. Usually the coach of the losing team storms to the dressing room after the loss, but this time, Boudreau stayed back and soaked in what could be his last ever game coaching. The fans chanted “Bruce there it is” for him one more time before a watery-eyed Boudreau went down the tunnel, which would eventually be his final game coaching the Canucks.

His new job at the NHL Network will have Boudreau be a TV analyst and studio analyst. Once he was hired, he started working immediately.

When Boudreau was officially fired by the Canucks, a fan sent him a customized jersey that had “BRUCE THERE IT” on the namebar with the number 15 to represent the word “is”. A photo of him with his jersey surfaced on Twitter with him autographing it in what was a kind gesture from the fan.
