Smashian Kassian Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Let's not sugar coat this, your up 5-1 almost into the third & you lose 6-5. It's (what's been) a bottom feeding team with playoff aspirations. You cant let this game get away. I know a few goals were tough breaks but its not a great look. Hopefully this makes us better in the long run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2288 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Green says he holds players accountable he did not hold Pearson accountable and he did not reward Jake and Ferland can’t stand him as a coach. He has his favourites and it’s obvious we play marginal players while we waste away Gaud and Baer in Utica and even worse he does not make in game adjustments that make any degree of sense we blow a 4 goal lead and Green just rationalizes it away and he will make zero changes and hope for the best. That is the extent of his limited coaching ability real coaches like JQ and Tippett are getting it done with much weaker rosters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2288 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 A real coach would have pulled Marky. Not because Marky was awful but because the team was awful and needed a break, reset and renewed focus. You don’t stand there and do nothing because you don’t want to hurt Marky’s feelings and instead just hope things miraculously settle down this is where Green’s lack of ability shows. He is like a deer in headlights during a game. It’s like he freezes and can’t make rational decisions. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tas Posted October 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2019 the team was overdue for a reality check/refocus game against a veteran contender. just a valuable lesson along the way. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canckelhead Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Instead of trying to win in the 3rd, Green keeps putting out the 3rd / 4th lines, trying not to lose. Great coaching Green. Need a real coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a buddy who despises Benning and always rambles off about asset management and poor contracts and he always uses beagle and schaller and Eriksson as examples. And its nice to see Tim succeed. Trust uncle jim I hope people take notice of Schaller, and keep him in mind before they make judgements about Michael Ferland. Often times, it takes a player awhile to acclimate to a new system. Furthermore, if a player was sick during the Summer and couldn’t train as efficiently as normal, then of course his play will be affected. Fans and media need to be more careful in terms of not bringing out the pitchforks too soon. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post joe-max Posted October 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2019 Calling for the coach's head, insulting the players, bashing Marky and JB.

Popular Post NucksinNorway Posted October 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2019 Just 24 hours ago we were planning the parade, and now the sky is falling. I'd say I'm surprised, but this is vancouver fans in a nutshell. We are not going to win every game, and some losses are going to be ones we should have won. Let it be. If this happens several games in a row then we can start panicking. These are growing pains, and hopefully; they will learn from it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 73 Percent Posted October 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2019 Blowing a five goal lead is tough to swallow. However the team is scoring goals, the kids look great, amd we're in a playoff spot despite having games in hand. The sky is not falling people. We still got a point. 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got through the first few pages and then skipped to the end - nice to see a few level headed response on this site - we won’t win them all, scored 10 goals the last two games, come from behind score five in one period against one of the worst teams in the NHL and it’s cloud nine, blow a four goal lead against a top three team, Markstrom is garbage and the coach gets blasted and the sky is falling. Glad I didn’t stay up to watch it or I’d probably also be posting silly crap. That’s hockey on to the next one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax man it's in the past, move on. Hopefully it is a lesson learned for all which may be more valuable than the point we lost. Baertschi's cap hit is too high for us to call him up. Gaudette is better off playing in Utica than watching the Canucks play from the press box. He was the 13th forward no matter which way you slice it. Quenneville and Tippet have weaker rosters lol? Florida has some studs and hardly a weaker roster and they have 2 less wins than the Canucks. The oilers have 2 of the Top 5 players in the world and Neal is scoring at like a 50goal pace. It is 1 game out of 82. Plenty more to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friedman in his 31 thoughts has Washington adjusting systems and it's creating some defensive break downs. They were tied 2nd for the most goals against before this game - 38 goals given up and now 43 to be the only team to have allowed that many already.

Bo should be going before Pearson... Horvat was 2 for 3 in 2016/17 but hasn't scored in 8 attempts since that season. Pearson was 2 for 6 (33%) before this game for Vancouver - scored vs Philadelphia and missed vs St-Louis. Leivo is 2 for 4 (50%) since last season.

So when Samsonov let in 5 and Caps coach did not pull him it was a brilliant coaching move to lull the Canucks into a false sense of security ultimately leading to a sneak attack-come from behind win-move.

NHTyrany Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Great entertainment. Learn from the loss and how not to sit on leads against this style of team, get better. The next game becomes even more important. The team can still be a force at home if it rebounds with a vengeance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is playing a much better defensive system in the case of the panthers their roster is nowhere near ours, quennville is the difference You are dead wrong on the Baer cap statement , the team has room until Roussel is back. gaudette should be in over Leivo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Holtby played the night before and was in a third period collapse you need to understand the flow of a hockey game it would help if you played, would be easier to get the concepts. I am not insulting you just saying sometimes if you play the game you understand the nuances better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I can't believe the Canucks just became the first team in the history of the NHL to lose a game after being up like that!!! Sarcasm, of course. We dominated and then a recent Stanley Cup winning team came back to win in a SO. So what? We got a point, now let's move on to the next.

Krzysl Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I come to this forum for pure entertainment and a constant reminder why the Canucks fans are a bottom 5 in the league. Up one day and everybody loves Marky down one bad game and everybody hates marky. This fan base has more mood swings then a teenaged girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPA Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Meh. Sucks we lost. Wait until 20 game mark to have a fair assessment of the team. Remember that were supposed to be a bubble team this year fighting for that wild card spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
