Western Red Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 That Green quote pisses me off, scratching Goldy, who has been playing well the last 5. Maybe its a stealth tank, I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TU90 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The problem with Goldy is if he isn't scoring, he's a waste of a body out there. He doesn't win any battles and he's terrible in the defensive zone. Go back and look at him during Jerseys 2nd goal last game. No wonder Green benched him.

Was the first guy back a lot and even had multiple shot blocks. Does what Green wants him to do and is now sat? Goldy also probably has as many posts as anyone in the league. Could easily have another 6-7 goals. Not only that but Petey looked way better once Goldy got on his line. Their puck possession was the best it’s been in a while. Sometimes Green makes no sense. Green actually makes a really good point. If your given a shot at top 6 minutes in this league, 4 points in 23 games isnt acceptable on any team. Especially when hes not not exactly a physical presence away from the puck. Sometimes Green makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope Goldy can turn it around next year like Hutton did with his healthy scratches last year to this year. But I have my serious doubts about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Goldy was getting paid Eriksson money he would be playing, conversely if Eriksson was being paid Goldy's salary he would not be dressed.

If Goldy is going to be a liability defensively, he needs to score more than 4 points in 23 games playing with our best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think it’s trhe that the Canucks need to find chemistry with pairs in their forwards Gaudette Virtanen Horvat ( Baertshi is the best I n my opinion) Petterson Boeser however I’m not sold on Petterson Boeser yet, the two are extremely talented so they put up points but not 100% on there chemistry yet I’d like to see motte with Petterson actually as a test. Big on the forecheck and is a smart player who can finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redden rode the bus in the AHL making the same $ as Eriksucks The question should be about development, not wins. I sense Green is still looking for wins at the expense of development. A natural thing for the coach to do when he is not directed otherwise. The fact it's a home game and the team is coming off a loss is a likely factor. I want development but the fans deserve home wins as well. Balancing the two interests, I can accept Goldy being scratched if they truly believe he will be better for it in the long run. This guy's puck possession skills rival Petterson's and I'd like to see them together more on the PP. What I can't understand is Granland's ice time. The guy is like Loui without offence or big contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontFockWithBrock Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 1 hour ago, Dombrova22 said: I don't like seeing Baertschi back at all. The guys really gotta put his future with his kids and wife ahead of playing the game. One more concussion and he may never be the same again. I'm praying that doesn't happen... Kind of agree with you. But if you look at the concussion protocol, there's a bunch of steps and he only progresses to the next one if he remains symptom-free for 24hours. So today he's cleared for contact, and if he doesn't have any symptoms afterwards then he's cleared for the next step, which might be a game or more intense/physical practices. The fact that he's traveling makes me glad that he's simply getting healthier and living life without pain, whether or not he ends up playing this season.

Zhukini Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Goldy is one of my favourite players on the team but looking at Green's reasoning, he's 100% right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuardian_ Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Green is choked, he might have got the mandate to play the kids and he knows this will not help his stats, he may even be on the rails. He is being "professional". Dallas is in a battle to retain a wild card playoff spot, they will come out hard but will ease up if they get a big lead. I think Goldy is just being used as a whipping boy, no real reason to bench him vs a half dozen others. Green makes him a distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Green makes a lot of sense most of the time unlike most of his critics who flip from one player to the next looking for a reason to criticize management and coaching. They either know little about hockey or do not have the emotional toughness to go through a process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
