Rogers Arena is finally a fun place to watch Vancouver Canucks games again, and it’s all thanks to the jolly old guy with barbecue sauce stains on his shirt.

Bruce Boudreau’s impact on the Canucks is indisputable: Before he arrived, they couldn’t win a game for the life of them. Since he arrived, it seems they can’t lose. (obviously hyperbolized).

The Jack Adams Award is presented to “the coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team’s success.” So, the question becomes: “What did Boudreau contribute to the Canucks, and is it more than the next guy contributed to his team?”
