Man great question…

Bruce Boudreau started December 5th for the Canucks last yr and that was the first head coaching replacement of the season. So we gotta get past that at least.

Keefe took over Nov20 2019.

What's the longest into a season without a coaches firing?

Apparently 2017-18 set the record for longest time after year 1 of expansion, the article below was written in February.

might be time for the Melnyk daughters to give Pierre a higher coaching budget .

Here we are nearing the end of December without a coach getting fired... Wonder how long we make it into the new year before we see one.

It should be Maurice. He’s terrible.

Could not agree more.

I would think Bruce Boudreau is cutting it close. Does he survive January?

Heard Friedman today say next week sometime that Boudreau is fired. Maybe Rick Toccet is on vacation until then? lol

At this point, I don't see the reasoning behind firing Boudreau...

Because the Canucks are 18-23-3. Rutherford has been mostly terrible at his job. Mostly very terrible. So there needs to be a fall guy. You don’t expect Rutherford to actually be accountable for the job he’s done, do you? That’s just silly. So the coach gets the chop. Even though Bourdreu has produced the results this roster (provided by said GM) should have produced, the GM can’t fire himself. That would be insane. Welcome to following the NHL by the way.

The Canucks have forgotten how to play defence and Bruce doesnt know how either. Im gonna miss loose Bruce but he isnt going to turn it around.

[Invictus]

He most certainly can fire (resign) himself :P

12 pts from a wildcard spot. Playoff hopes look bleak, though I suppose maybe one can still have hope, but I don't see it.
2-8 in their last 10. The ship is going strong in the right direction. Right to the bottom of the NHL Sea in time for the Bedard and company sweepstakes.
Stabilize the ship now you'll highly likely finish as a mid team - missing playoffs and top tier draft picks.

Just because he's been 'mostly terrible at his job' doesn't mean he should keep being terrible at it
