That being said, they were a rested team and I dont think Loui, or even Motte for that matter can sustain that type of energy every game. But it was awesome to see that tenacity. motte has a motor im not too worried about him , loui on the other hand , that's first time ive seen him out race any one in 3 years , but he still needs to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetliner Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I agree that horvat is wasted as checking line. however erikson can go suck it in the press box Miller-Pettersson-Virtanen Pearson-Horvat-Toffoli Roussel-Sutter-Motte Mckewen-Beagle-Gaudette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmautzie Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 The biggest coaching adjustment needed is to change the defensive coverage in their own zone. The rope-a-dope don’t pressure the man with the puck system is painful to watch and is simply not working. I’m not sure if this is Green’s or Baumgartner’s system but it has to go.

Bure2Win Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Green should make the following coaching adjustments in my opinion Yeah the first would be to remove his d@mn @ss from the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Big Mac in the lineup. Eriksson back to the press box. Loui proved last night that with the net three quarters open remains a challenge for him, a wide open net is when he shines. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Canucks should trade for Gerbe as an enforcer. Lowered the boom.on Giroux and followed up with a take down on Sannheim. More balls than our whole team Lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabid Rooster Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Green has some great players to work with, veterans and newbees. There is (seems to be) a decided lack of motivation and will to play hard. my suggestion is for Green to hire a coach for the coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks need to have atleast two legit scoring lines if they are to make noise down the stretch. Gaudette’s line isn’t a good scoring line, and our top line is going to need some support. Put Toffoli or Virtanen on the Horvat-Pearson line. One of Toffoli or Virtanen goes to play on the top line. 2) Put Sutter back at center, and use Roussel-Sutter-Eriksson as your new shut down line. Like I said above - our current 3rd line isn’t very effective. They don’t score and they can’t shut down. If it’s having trouble scoring, then change it’s complexion. 3) Motte deserves a promotion. Look for ways to promote Tyler Motte, whether it means the 3rd line or even get a look on the top 6. Motte deserves a serious look. Earlier this season, he flat out carried Schaller and Beagle into a pretty good 4th line, and the Canucks have a significantly better record with Motte in the line-up. Perhaps put him with Roussel and Sutter on the 3rd line. 4) Stop dicking around Virtanen. Virtanen is our clear cut 2nd best RW’er and should be used as such. Play Virtanen with Horvat or Pettersson. Stop using Virtanen to try and jump start the 3rd line offense. It ain’t happening. Miller-Pettersson-Virtanen Pearson-Horvat-Toffoli Eriksson-Sutter-Motte Roussel-Beagle-Gaudette Those first 2 lines look like they can hold their own in the playoffs. Big bodies with some skill. The 3rd line looks like it could work. That 4th line needs to "put up, or shut up" or we have replacements waiting in the wings with MacEwen first in line. We really need to stop trying to help out those that are not playing well. If they can't keep up, take them out and give someone else a chance. Something TG is very reluctant to do. He really needs to get back to reward good hard play and bench the garbage players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller-Pettersson-Virtanen Pearson-Horvat-Toffoli Motte-Sutter-Gaudette Roussel-Beagle-MacEwen I like this lineup maybe LE will wave to go anywhere if he isn’t being used it’s worth a try. ps your first two lines are spot on chemistry for the Horvat line and more speed for the Petey line.

He was a Charmin soft player, and he’s a Charmin soft coach. The veteran players (seemingly) don’t respect him. If they did, would they play Charmin soft? I see Green getting fired within 5 games. JB (the owner for sure) is all in on making the playoffs, and can’t allow the current soft play and losing to continue much longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patel Bure Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Green’s deployment of Adam Gaudette could be having a negative rippling effect on the team. I want to preface this by saying that I love Adam Gaudette. A standout in college, a hobey baker winner, and worked his butt off to make the NHL. However - I just don’t know if Gaudette has a clearly defined role under Green’s system. The Canucks are obviously trying to develop Gaudette’s offensive game, but they aren’t really supporting him with his linemates. Roussel missed training camp and has limited offensive ability as is, and Virtanen isn’t strong enough to carry a scoring line. The end result is this: Gaudette’s line can’t produce consistent offense, and Gaudette’s line can’t really shut down the opposition.......which has resulted in Horvat’s line being given that responsibility. All of this has resulted in the following: -decent scoring line 1 -shut down scoring line 2 -sub-par scoring line 3 -sub par shut down line 4 Which ultimately means that the Canucks are leaning too much on Pettersson, Miller, and Hughes, while not efficiently using the likes of Horvat, Pearson, and Virtanen. Remember when the Canucks started off the year 9-3-3? Remember when Sutter was our 3rd line C? Why not go back to something similar? Miller-Pettersson-Toffoli Pearson-Horvat-Gaudette Eriksson-Sutter-Virtanen Roussel-Beagle-Motte Edler-Myers Hughes-Tanev Benn-Stecher Put Gaudette in Leivo’s old spot, and put Virtanen on the 3rd line instead of the 4th.
