The Athletic Hockey Show6 Des 2021

Philadelphia Flyers axe Alain Vigneault, and Charlie O’Connor joins the show, Vancouver Canucks clean house, Bruce Boudreau hired as head coach, Robin Lehner opts out of Olympics, Multiple Choice Madness, and more

First, Ian and Hailey discuss a tumultuous weekend for the Vancouver Canucks as the organization fired GM Jim Benning and head coach Travis Green following an 8-15-2 start to the season, and Bruce Boudreau being hired as the team’s new head coach, Robin Lehner opting out of Olympics participation with Team Sweden for mental health reasons, The Athletic NHL writers changing roles, and more.

Then, The Athletic’s own Charlie O’Connor joins the show to talk about Monday morning’s breaking news that the Philadelphia Flyers relieved Alain Vigneault of his head coaching duties, Mike Yeo’s opportunity as interim head coach, whether coaching or roster construction, or both, led to the team’s dismal start to the season, Rick Tocchet as a potential next head coach option, and more.

Plus, to close things out, Ian and Hailey run through a series of Multiple Choice Madness questions including who’s the best head coach to never win a Stanley Cup, who deserved the Hart Trophy a quarter of the way through the season, and if the Bruins should be allowed to use Tuukka Rask as their EBUG in an actual game.
