Canucks disrespect Bruce Boudreau again, just hours before his final game.

The insults continue.

The Vancouver Canucks have once again added insult to injury, and that's on top of already insulting head coach Bruce Boudreau one final time in front of their own fans.

Earlier today National Hockey League insider David Pagnotta reported that tonight's game in Edmonton will be the final game of Boudreau's tenure behind the Canucks' bench. Pagnotta appears to be quite confident in his report, even going so far as to indicate when Boudreau's replacement will be announced.

That might lead you to believe that the uncomfortable saga has finally come to an end, but unfortunately it would appear as though the Canucks had one more slap in the face in store for Boudreau before his final game.

Multiple users on social media are now reporting that, after loud "Bruce There It Is" chants on Friday night, the Canucks have now removed the "Bruce There It Is" apparel from their official apparel store. That's right, in spite of the fact that Boudreau hasn't even been officially fired and in spite of the fact that many of the Canucks faithful showed their support for their head coach on Friday night, the Canucks will no longer be selling the merchandise.

You would think that, given the incredible level of support shown for Boudreau on Friday night, that the Canucks would have at least enjoyed the profitability of selling his apparel but that will not be the case.

We even have examples of fans on social media doing exactly this, buying the shirts in support of the beloved head coach, but unfortunately it looks like if you missed your chance the window has now closed.

This is one last act of disrespect on the part of the Canucks organization towards Boudreau, and really the only positive to take away from this is that Boudreau will soon be put out of his misery.
