    I think I speak for all fans when I say if we were given a choice at the start of the year, win the cup or win the Jack Adams, we all would choose the Jack Adams

    Congrats Tocc, well deserved. This team has turned around well and you can see coach cares for them as well, not just as a coach but also as a person. The way he would sit with his players and talk to them (ex. consoling Demko about his injury) and also celebrate their wins. I’ll admit I was skeptical at first, but I trust him with this team now.

    Is there not the NHL awards night this year? Seems so lame with multiple Canucks possibly winning this year.

    I was at Tocchet’s first game as head coach. Feelings were still very raw with the way Boudreau’s firing had been handled. The energy in the building that night could best be described as: “You’re not my real dad!”. Received a very lukewarm reception from the crowd when he was introduced on the video board.

    We’re a long way from all that now.

    Not since AV have I had full confidence in a coach, even with Bruce taking over for that little run. Well done and well deserved. Big reason why the city has fallen back in love with the sport and team.

  20. MacVanRainin

    Well deserved. He turned that franchise right around. Top tier coaching staff. He earned that award. 👊

  23. onahalladay

    Upvote party!!! Super excited for coach. Well deserved. Made the whole city believe in hard work and 100% effort and accountability.

    I don’t know how Knoblauch didn’t win it. Tocchet did a great job but knoblauch had to come in and made a bad team great. Plus knoblauch out coached Tocchet in the playoffs.

  29. G-Hoffa

    I’m so happy for Rick Tocchet. What he got out of this team is incredible. He earned this trophy in every way.

    Is there no award show or anything they just announce these on Twitter?

  31. allenbraxton

    You’re god damn right! Made a difference since day 1, very well deserved.

  33. Red-Canadian

    Note that the Canucks have won this award twice already, both coachs won a few years before bringing the team to game seven of the finals… Not implying anything but this certainly isn’t a bad sign.

  35. No_Character_5315

    Instead of bobble head night to celebrate should be a box of spaghetti night

  37. Charlie2343

    Feel like this award is always the kiss of death

  38. hirins2

    Great news.. for me he is this kind of guy who is super good hearted but fair, he is respected in team, exept game 6 in Edmonton, looked like the team purposly played bad

  42. Only-Nature7410

    Such a deserving accomplishment for him. The things he has done and the way he carries himself.

    To be able to lead this team to have a new respect and identity is amazing for our team. It will not always be smooth sailing but who else would you want to lead you through the storms.

    He is so good.
