10pavelbure96 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 The game is changing. We have stud young players. Why so much dump and chase??? Its not the 90s. I'm now also getting fed up with this staff. And jB has done an awesome job lately with trades and drafting but there is so much dead cap on this team. Frustrating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GDT was a real bummer the couple times I checked in. Anyone got a game recap? In what ways did this team disappoint us tonight? I didn't watch, but sounds like they only played one period...

Canucks: 16/43 Habs: 5/16 I’m sorry, but this is ridiculous. So we were slightly more successful than the Habs ..... woohoo.

I think the one truth about this team is that it is pretty decent on paper. What's happening on the ice is something much less clear.

The problem is Gallant had to have wanted to come here. Especially in the early stages of a rebuild. Everyone knew Vegas was going to be a decent team off the bat. That was a much better fit and much more attractive destination for Gallant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me put it this way: if the Canucks lose in regulation to Vegas on Thursday, their record will be exactly the same as their record last year after 36 games: 16-16-4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in a tough slump here and yes, nothing is working well when you are losing. Yes, blame the coaches, but overreacting and yelling that coaches should be fired is the equivalent to asking for Brock Boeser or Bo Horvat to be traded because they're in the midst of a tough 20 game stretch. Are you blind? There's no puck support, ever. The forwards play high which leaves the D in our zone alone. Their only option is to make a stretch pass up to the forwards which usually doesn't work because it gets picked off. If it does connect it's quickly turned over because that forward is virtually standing still waiting to take the pass and the opposing D has a step on him. Its glaringly obvious that this is our system and this is our major problem. We've been playing the exact same system every game for the past 2 seasons. It doesn't work. The forwards need to break out as a unit, gathering speed, and providing puck support/ passing options. Its much harder to defend someone in full flight, especially when they have passing options. Our guys aren't old and slow but they look like it out there simply because of the system being played.

That’s why we go after DeBoer now offers will come in for him in the off season and we need a change now anyway plus he said he would coach this year it all fits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely DeBoer.. he's willing to coach in right situation.. Canucks are perfect team for him.. Get him before someone else does... 43 dump ins tonight 15 recoveries...no team in the league plays like that. 20 dump ins ? Understsandable.. 40+??? Crazy.. I was for keeping Green for this season but it's time to make a change especially when DeBoer is available... 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6string Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I am fed up with our Kumbaya hockey, I'll say it again: the team has taken on the personality of the coach! Does Green have candles and incense burning between periods in the locker room? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboarder Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 39 minutes ago, J-23 said: I remember Burke said a GM only gets two coaches before he’s gone himself. Not true. Benning did not hire Willie, it was Trevor Linden himself. So therefore, he get another chance for a new coach of his choice. His drafting has been stellar and it should count for something. It is the coaching system that is awful and they are just too stubborn and when they finally break their will, it is when it's too late, they are fired. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2288 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 So it’s settled we fire Green tomorrow and hire DeBoer probably in the other order but we won’t let Green know that 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-d Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) 21 minutes ago, VancouverHabitant said: Look around the leauge... the sucessful teams are the ones implementing styles that let them dominate puck posession and have a strong defensive game. The problem isn't the dump and chase, it's the fact that they can't break up a cycle in their own zone to save their life. How many times did we see the Sharks and the Knights spend a 7 day vacation in the Canucks' zone in the last week? A lot, Mr. 1-D, a lot. And dumpi... handing the puck over to the other team is usually the beginning of the endless "hemmed in our own zone" time. The reason we can't break up a cycle is, as I said, Green wants them to play zone defence instead of pressuring the puck carrier and cutting off the passing lanes. Currently there's no easier team to play against than Canucks, whose skaters are always standing around watching the puck on D and willingly giving up the puck at the blueline on O.
