Sedins eager to get to work with Canucks rookie head coach Travis Green
VANCOUVER — When the Vancouver Canucks hired Travis Green as their new head coach this spring, a video of his fight with Dan Cloutier from their playing days was widely circulating online.
Henrik Sedin took part in that 2003 game against the Boston Bruins, but also needed a refresher of the altercation sparked by former Canucks winger Todd Bertuzzi cross-checking Green into Cloutier, then Vancouver’s netminder, to set off a melee in the crease.
“I’ve seen that clip,” Sedin said with a smile.
Cloutier was promoted to the position of Canucks’ goalie coach last season and remains on the staff after Green replaced the fired Willie Desjardins.
