[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Pittsburgh Penguins | Nov. 24, 2021
nuck-lifer replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
This begs the questions, who is he referring to as a youngster that are making mistakes and causing their lapses defensively Podz- 20 YO- ill give him this one player that's pulling in 13-14 minutes Hogz - 20 YO - + 3 tied for top forward and solid Corsi Hughes - 22 YO- +3 - yes he makes mistakes but no more than other D men such as Poolman / Myers. Except for lately his D play was vastly improved over last year Lately everyone is guilty of poor decisions That's it. Saying Peteys a youngster when last year Mcdavid and Matthews were his age of 23 doesn't wash IMO The rest of the team is 24+ which is entering their prime or in it right now I don't feel he can use this anymore when very competitive teams have 20-22 YO performing well and being responsible. Carolina and Colorado come to mind This is the new NHL with young players maturing faster then ever. -

I boycotted watching one game this year. It was the Winnipeg game last Friday and they won. Don't believe in the whole superstitious Kumbaya stuff, but yeah... boycotting the Columbus game Friday. Living in frustrating times with this team! -

Agree, it would be nice if Brock and Petey can chew each other out for atarters. seriously , team meetings have created many turn arounds in the past, and there's nothing to lose. -

Exactly, Demko's our best player and it just happens that Clark is our best coach. -

Not giving a free pass to them, just stating that when you're working in a toxic environment and one who has created this system with zero apparent support it's hard to rag on the players. The only exception is Pettersson who just seems to have given up. I mean Horvats great goal was an example of just doing it himself, in frustration without the system. -

Can't be too upset with the players when the system they don't believe in is failing. I haven't seen a player interview that has said they believed in it, just that they're working hard to try make it work. You would think that this is their cry for help needing a change -

I don't know what's worse, Losing every game or listening to Green and players in post game robotic comments, I mean what's left to talk about here?? -
Poolman is a good example of this teams system. When he started this year, he looked really solid playing with OEL or Hughes. Sound defensively making smart safe plays etc... Now... his game is all over the place, not just the Ozone effort that cost us. This is on coaching and having either mixed messages, too patient and not holding players accountable and in the end ... losing the room Being a Kamloopsian, I was happy to see Baumer get the gig with Green, but he has really blown it on all counts as well.

nuck-lifer replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
actually most of our 5 on 5 guys had a good game Motte also was stirring the clamato on the 4th line quite well We need to throw out Petey, brock, hughes and Podz on the PK next game for some out of the box strategy -
