Lol, no, it's not a direct quote, but it is the jist of what he says after every loss. His actual interview is on the front page of CDC. It's not very inspiring. Basically he says; we played poorly in the first, good in the second, and it's a bummer we couldn't hold on to the 6-3 lead but we're a young team and Malkin is a really good player. It seems to me that he's very nonchalant about losing and giving up huge leads. I think this carefree attitude rubs off on the players. These kids are young and the time to mold them is now. Green may be doing more harm than good. There's a saying that goes; when you are young you define your habits. When you are old your habits define you. I'd hate to see these guys make a habit of playing this poorly because the coach seems to think that it's okay. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why people on this forum already want to set him as our 3C. Like let’s see how good this kid can get, he is still young. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-23 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Burrows, Luongo and Bieksa should be our new coaching staff. If you want to hire rookie coaches go with guys who’ve made it to the Finals. Goodnight CDC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green is essentially a kid himself, only coaching in the NHL for the past 2 years. We need a coach who can provide veteran leadership, someone with credentials. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gauds want to play on this team rn, unfortunately he has no choice but to play wing. Not taking Petey, Bo, Suts or even Beagles spot… He should play on the same line with Sutter. Sutter can take majority of the faceoffs. during real play time gaudette takes the centre position since he's a better puck distributor an overall offense minded player. Sutter has a good shot & good face off guy. He can do both of those things from the wing. Hopefully sutters faceoff skill rubs off on gaudette playing together because sutter wont be around in a couple seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 A fun game, but we loss. Green should learn something during this game. Edler was poor to-nite, has he not 100% recovered from injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the management and coaches sees him as a C then they got to give him chances to improve. All part of the process for young centers. We do need guys like Sutter and Beagle to help ease him in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many coaches that made such a huge difference in their first year's... Bruce Cassidy in Boston, Jared Bednar in Colorado, and Craig Berube in St Louis just to name a few. Travis Green literally has kept us on par with Willie. I want Green to succeed, but I think he needs better help than Brown and Baumgartner. That being said I don't know if there's a coach out there that would be a good fit for this team right now. I think he gets until the end of the season, if he makes the playoffs he's coming back next year, but if they flounder I think he's out in April, maybe sooner.

Bill Belichek Didn't watched the game but it seems like Green got outcoached - again - and lost the game. Very typical, of this coaching staff with the way they coach especially, with a lead going into the third. Also, how was Goldy (checked the game summary and he only played 8:37) ? We started a lineup than many were calling for. They had no shots in the first 10 minutes. Green blenders the lineup, something that people think is a pointless tactic, and suddenly we get 6 goals. Then Pittsburgh came on. I doubt the coaching told the team to let off the gas. The players couldn't keep up which leads to letting them control the play. I disagree with that quote as the players were just as responsible here. Coaching did what they could to spark the team and the team couldn't keep it up. If the coaching is being blamed for the loss, then the credit should go to their players for the win based on the quote. Yet here we are again crediting their coaching staff for the win and blaming ours for the loss. Malkin stepped up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
