The Vancouver Canucks came up one goal short against the Edmonton Oilers in the second round.
But Canucks coach Rick Tocchet is taking home some hardware for his role in helping his team win the Pacific Division title during the regular season. He was announced on Wednesday night as the winner of the Jack Adams Award for NHL coach of the year.
In his first full season with the Canucks, Tocchet led Vancouver back to the playoffs with 50 wins and 109 points, ending a three-year drought. The Canucks jumped from 22nd to sixth in points.
Tocchet, who replaced Bruce Boudreau during the 2022-23 season, received 82 first-place votes and 483 points from the NHL Broadcasters' Association to edge the Nashville Predators' Andrew Brunette (145 points) and Winnipeg Jets' Rick Bowness (75).
The New York Rangers' Peter Laviolette and Edmonton Oilers' Kris Knoblauch rounded out the top five.
Tocchet was a first-time finalist and the third Canucks coach to win the award, joining Pat Quinn in 1991-92 and Alain Vigneault in 2006-07.
Vancouver beat the Predators in the first round and lost to the Oilers in Game 7 of the second round.
