Optimism For The Vancouver Canucks 2022-2023 Season

Posted on by

Since Bruce Boudreau took over for Travis Green, the Vancouver Canucks went 32-15-10. That record would put them on pace for a 106 point season. That would be more than enough to get them into the playoffs. 

The Vancouver Canucks had a poor start to their 2021-2022 season. During the season a COVID-19 outbreak led to 22 players and four staff members testing positive. Which led to nine games being postponed and they were 4-10-1 in their final 15.

Under Travis Green, the players lost their confidence. Green wanted to play it safe, believing the Canucks didn’t have the  skills at the time to play up-tempo. Green’s strategies were no longer working and Vancouver needed a new voice. For the final 13 games Green had coached, the Canucks were 3-9-1.

Bruce took a different approach as the head coach for the Vancouver Canucks. When he took over he said he wasn’t going to base the players skill set off of the 15 games they played under Green. Bruce wanted to get the best out of all his players and really utilize their skills.

Bruce had many new ideas and ways in which the Canucks can improve as a team. Thankfully, that’s what the team really needed. The team loves playing under Bruce and they appreciate the new culture and mindset he brings behind the bench.

This season also helped Boudreau prove to himself that he can still coach in this league. He can still handle the stress of the job and he still has the desire to do the job. In the end, Boudreau helped Vancouver and we helped him. Bruce said this summer, the team will come back and expect to win.

 

 The Vancouver Canucks didn’t make it to the playoffs this season, but under Bruce Boudreau they played a good season regardless. Optimism has returned in Vancouver for next season.
