Coaching staff needs a shake up!

I've seen hundreds of posts on these forums pick the system apart piece by piece. Just because you're not paying attention doesn't mean it's not being said. Lately, people stop going into so much detail because it's been said so many times over the last few years.

Bieksa shares that lose just as much as Cory. The score could have been even worse with all the stupid plays by Bieksa. Cory had a bad game but, Bieksa was the worst player on the ice. Bieksa scored the first goal on Cory and was the cause of three odd man rushes against Cory. Bieksa deserves to sit the next game.

Pk sucks

PP sucks

3rd period defending lead sucks

It's getting worse every year.

Canucks systems is overplayed! Same old same old. Every team outside their division has broken it down.Theirs no innovation nor coaching just the same tired system up to the players. The coaching staff has been here to long and there playbook is empty. ie. drop pass on PP, short shifts, dump and change defend a lead just does not work against quality teams

The only reason Av and his staff still have jobs are due to the eternal Luongo an Schneider goalie battle.Coaching staff has expired just like in the playoffs when their pp and offence

disappear when it counts cause their playbook and ability to adapt has expired.

Without their weak divisional games the Canucks record would be 2- 3- 1 with Av's tired system.

Remember last year, how we were squeaking out wins and everyone just kept saying it was fine because we would find our legs in the playoffs?

That wasn't the players falling flat and barely scraping out wins, that was our ineffective coaching system sitting on leads and playing "dump and change" hockey, rather than keeping pressure on.

We have the roster to be dominant in this league in every game, and we very rarely are actually dominant. We used to be one of the best first and third period teams, we used to be one of the best on the PP. Where are all of those things now? We manage solid wins from time to time against the other top teams in the league, and we barely squeak out wins against bottom feeding teams from time to time, but we never, EVER seem to just dominate anymore.

It's down to the coaching, in my opinion. Defending leads for an entire period and a half is just not an effective strategy.

So far after 13 games the team is 8-3-2. Not too shabby. Until you realize the team has been feasting on chumps. Not really their fault though. All they can do is play the teams as they show up on the schedule. Feasting on chumps is a hell of a lot better than losing to them.

So far they have played only 3 teams who made the playoffs last year. The Sharks manhandled them and in the other 2 they were 1-1 in shoot outs.

The next 6 games will be a much better barometer of where the team is at as 5 of the next 6 opponents were playoff caliber teams.

God you people are blind.

It is obvious there are issues. We have been benefitting from a weak division all year. Anytime our goaltending doesn't play lights out and hide the issues, we lose, and then everyone blames the goaltending, its the way it has been for quite for time.

We have blown 4 two goal leads against tougher competition. If things don't change I won't be excited to see the disaster that will be the Playoffs.
