Junkyard Dog Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 14 minutes ago, gameburn said: I would add: consider taking 2 D out or one at least and putting in Juolevi or Rafferty or both. Edler and Myers were awful, sit them. (They took critical penalties and generally were walked all over by forecheckers.) With Virt and Mac in, together with quicker, new D: we should do better at breaking through the Minnesota's system of filling up the middle of the ice. In the long run: the rebuild is not even close to being over, someone has to tell Benning this. It was add-on vet players and our own vets like Edler that killed us. Would have been better off saving the money and playing Rafferty, Juolevi, and Big Mac. We don't win without Myers/Edler. D was far from the issue last night. They gave up 2 goals, one of which was more on Marky. After the 1st ten minutes both teams played tight playoff hockey. Throwing out two rookie D would be like being thrown into a pit of starving wolves. We'd guaranteed lose in 3 at that point. Not only that but it would destroy OJ/Raff's confidence. I would want Green fired immediately if he did that. The actual problem and reason we lost is that our forwards didn't go to the hard areas as much as the Wild. You cause chaos you create pressure which leads to PPs, goals and opens up the ice for guys like Petey/Hughes. That's why I was advocating Mac/Virtanen inserted and stating that there's needs to be a serious emphasis on playing below the hash marks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 37 minutes ago, VaNux said: Personally, I think this is more of a knee jerk, o e extreme to another lineup suggestion Nothing is as good as it seems, and nothing is as bad as it seems. Even keel, and make changes on purpose for a purpose. I do think having more purpose driven lines, with like players together would make sense. As an example Motte and beags have been a spark plug line when rous joined them, but had their energy sapped with Sutter there. This is what I think would be the best lineup for next game Miller - petey - boes Pears - bo - toffoli Ferk - gaud - virt Rous - beag - Motte First line hi Rev, second and third take it to the net and overwhelm, 4th spark plug Imo That third line looks good and should do much more than yesterday. Rous didn't do much yesterday and Sutter provides defensive presence. I'd say Roussel comes out and the 4th line is kept intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duodenum Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Pretty clinical game by the Wild. Canucks couldn't muster anything offensively. Toffoli and Pearson were looking slow and rusty. Boeser's increased speed is very noticeable but had trouble handling the puck. Miller and Petterson had a couple ok plays but were otherwise shut down. Horvat had nothing. 4th line did nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is that Sutters style of play changed the dynamic of that line. Not that he was bad or anything, I just noticed s few times things were starting to Rev up a bit and he slowed it down.

Doesn't mean what I've said all along doesn't still apply or isn't true. Putting him with Petey isn't going to do anything offensively against that top 4 and will be a disaster defensively. Don't hate him but tear everything he does and laughably say JV is better. Sorry I don't buy it. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracksuit Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Wild pressure all over the ice no space. playing with speed and structure. Our veteran d Were exposed as slow And even slower with the puck. there didn’t appear to be any structure in Any aspect of the canucks game. no real break out no net front presence No d zone coverage. Once again Playing from the Perimeter leads to another easy shutout against. the d zone is just a comedy of errors. i guess we’ll see but it sure didn’t look like Green and the coaching staff a had any Effective answers to the wilds game. (the one) pp And pk looked equally ineffective. Overall I’d say they Nucks were a disappointment. que the excuses. Refs youth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Phil_314 said: I'm curious if Bo could be that center who could re-create some semblance of That 70's Line, which was known for effective puck retrieval and second chance attempts A lot of people have wondered that, but Green doesn't seem to want to try it. I think Carter in his day had a better shot than Bo but, points-wise they are about the same as Carters time in LA. It might have more to do with having a Petey line he prefers more, so he keeps TT up there. I wouldn't mind seeing this next game tho: Miller-Petey-Jake Pearson-Bo-TT Edited August 3, 2020 by Jimmy McGill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_theRyper Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 What about something crazy? Ferland Petey Jake Miller Horvat Boeser Pearson Guadette Toffoli Motte Beagle Sutter ?? No picking on Petey that’s for sure and other 3 lines are balanced out nicely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky played more than well enough to win. 2GA should be just fine, none 5 on 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 A total of six power plays each handed out to Jets and Flames today. If we get into that kind of reffing, the series is ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure you want to get into a game where each time is getting a ton of power plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinky-Winky Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 i am a fan of green, but really think we need a more experienced coach to lead us to victory, green can be a assistant and learn off of the experience coach whos been threw it all and won a cup . i feel that would benefit green most than throwing him into the wolves with the rest of our inexperienced YOUNG players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 1 hour ago, Moose Nuckle said: Exactly. I'd love to see Dumba or Staal cross check Petey and shove him into the ground over and over with Ferland there. Great way to get your face pounded in. Green wants a tough team but puts them all on one line so that line is ineffective and gets penalty after penalty. He wants the good players to get to the net but won't arm them with the weapons to get there. Staal plays with Greenway. Before the break Getzlaf went to fight him and ended up on the ice. Greenway did not have a hit last night per the game stats. He is a beast when he plays physical but does not do it consistently - not sure they should poke the bear if he's playing tame. The Wild lines under Evason are very balanced - defensive forward, size and scoring on all lines. Evason says he doesn't really worry about line matchups, for him it's more important to get their D-pairings against who they want. The Wild lines/pairings are the same as at the end of the regular season. Green had ample time to game plan. Will be interesting to see if he adjusts or just considers this game a warmup game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that and it only confirms what my proposition was. Greenway is doing what we need for Petey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
