What's it like being at the end of the of the season on a team that's been out of it for that long?
You know, the Canucks won a couple of games in a row over the weekend.
Yannick, it's the first time they've won back-to-back games since December.
And, you know, more than the results, because it's a shootout win and it's an overtime win, I think there were some moments there that fans really appreciated, right?
One is, you know, Teddy Bluger sticking up for his teammate, trying to go after Radko Gudis.
Curtis Douglas scoring his first goal in the NHL and the teammates being so excited for him.
Did you see anything over the weekend, again, not in terms of the results, but in terms of those sorts of moments that you think have a chance to kind of carry over and mean something for next year?
Or is it, should we just look at them as kind of one-off nice moments at the end of the season?
What do you remember from your first goal, Yannick, in the NHL?
on Manny and the potential for him to be the next head coach of the team, Yannick.
And of course, I mean, you famously formed an incredible line with him and Rafi Torres in 2011.
And look, Canucks fans are generally pretty excited and pretty optimistic about Manny Malhotra as a coach.
But from your time playing with him, I mean, what stood out to you, the attributes that would make him a successful NHL coach?
And this is a tricky one, right?
Because I'm not saying that players are hoping a coach will get fired or a GM will get fired or anything like that.
But if you can kind of put yourself in a player's shoes at the end of a season like this, I mean, how do you think the players will react to either changes in the front office or the coaching staff or a lack of changes?
Does it does it send a certain signal to the players?
And what does it mean to them on an individual level?
Yannick, always really appreciate it.
And thank you again for clearing out for Pronger.
