Bruce there it is...A priest's reflection on the dismissal of the Vancouver Canucks' coach by Stephen Rowe I confess it took me a while to discover the NHL after we came to Canada over 20 years ago. But for a long while now I have followed with keen interest the ups, and mainly downs, of the Vancouver Canucks. When Bruce Boudreau (the former coach) was hired last season things got better and the crowd started the chant ‘Bruce there it is’ when things were going well. Aside from some great games, this season has not gone well … but that is not my point.
