Newly hired Vancouver Canucks head coach Bruce Boudreau chatted about World Wrestling Entertainment star Kevin Owens, among other topics, in an appearance on NHL Network on Tuesday.

An avid WWE fan, Boudreau also hinted at potentially making some WWE-inspired changes to the Canucks during his conversation with NHL Network hosts Jackie Redmond and E.J. Hradek.

“I will tell you, off the air, what I’ve got planned for this team,” said Boudreau. “It has something to do with the WWE.”

Here’s the full video of Boudreau’s WWE-themed exchange with Redmond and Hradek, as posted on Redmond’s verified Twitter account on Tuesday evening:

Find me a bigger #WWE fan than Bruce Boudreau… I’ll wait. 😂🙌🏻 “You said we’re gonna let you go and I was like, ‘Noooo how’d KO do!!?” PS. Sounds like Bruce might have plans to bring some WWE flavor to the #Canucks dressing room. 👀 @NHLNetwork @Canucks #HockeyTwitter #NHL
