Jim Benning, Travis Green, Noel Baumgartner Fired. Paul Boudreau New Coach Former Canuck Player Scott Walker Asst Coach.

[Gregory Carr]

Jim Benning and Travis Green and Noel Baumgartner were fired. Paul Boudreau is the new coach with former Canuck defenceman Scott Walker https://thehockeywriters.com/canucks-fire-benning-green-hire-boudreau-walker/ I met him when he first came to Vancouver Canucks and he came to the gas station I worked at with his green Corvette with Ont. plates that he had shipped here by railcar. He played 15 years in the league. Walker had a career best season in 2003–04, as in 75 games, Walker tied his career high with 25 goals, and earned 42 assists for a career high 67 points to lead the club offensively, helping Nashville reach the post-season for the first time in team history, and for the first time in Walker's career. Walker played in 589 career games before making the playoffs, which at the time was the second longest wait in NHL history. Guy Charron retired in 1981 after 734 games, before he ever played a single playoff game. On December 27, 2003, Walker scored the first ever goal at Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, Arizona, scoring against Sean Burke of the Phoenix Coyotes in the Predators 3-1 victory.

Canucks have lost 11 of the last 13.
