GB5 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 This game wasn't all Marky's fault for the loss....but I sure wish he could make the big save once and a while when the game is on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GritGrinder Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 3 hours ago, PhillipBlunt said: What would the point be to fire Green right now? Would it make the Canucks a better team? Notice that the losing has happened whilst the team has six roster players on the IR. Who would the Canucks get? Quennville doesn't want to coach a rebuilding team. Yeo and McLellan were just fired and aren't exactly highly sought after. To fire Green would be a huge mistake. He's proving to be an excellent coach. If the Canucks were to let him go, that would be five coaches in less than a decade. The optics of that would be disastrous. They are not anywhere close to firing Green but it would actually be 5 coaches in just over 5 years. AV was fired May 22, 2013 5 1/2 years ago almost to the day. AV, Torts, Willie, Green and ??...No the optics would not be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The Jets are great right now..but cap-Hell awaits them. They'd better win it all soon. Big Buff is 33, & will start slowing/wearing down. - Add 3 mill to Wheeler's cap - Trouba's probably gonna fly the coop(also RFA in summer) - Connor & Laine need top dollar, next July Fortunately, they've drafted/developed well, which should extend their window. Right now, they're lumped with Wash, Nash, & TBay as probable favs. When healthy, I'd say our boys have proven they can bump off some of these teams(the odd time). There's nothing to hang heads about, we're just not at that stage..yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw some mad cash at them that they can't reject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 What the blinking blank is going on in here? Fire Green? We have a million injures, most road games in the league and it's supposed to be a rebuild year. Stop this nonsense and enjoy the ride. And while I'm at it, Guddy and Rouseel are fine. This team needs the elements that those two bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a solid backup and/or a guy that can play 35-40 games but he's just never going to be a good starter. It is what it is, there's no reason for people to get upset over him he's not going to suddenly get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those cracks don't make him a bad goalie as he has shown he can correct himself with rest. Just means he's not a clear #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its got me wondering tho, Demko isn't ready to be a starter yet so what then? I have to think Benning is going to be looking for another free agent goalie this offseason, unless I suppose Nilsson steps up and surprises everyone. Although i suppose they could try going with a Marky-Demko option next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to wait to see how the year pans out before making a decision on goaltending. If Demko isn't ready, it shouldn't be too hard to find a Nilsson like goalie (or Nilsson again) to play 30-35 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even a good backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot that AV was let go two years after 2011. The Oilers have had 8 coaches in the last 10 years. That's so bad, it's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting your team behind the 8 ball, minute(s) in, based on awful decision making and terrible positioning night after night is what makes Markstrom bad. I have been calling him Jakob "has a .982sv% after letting in the 1st shot" Markstrom for a few years lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, if Miller was interested, I'd love to see him back and share the crease with Demko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, Miller will probably want to stay in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
