I hold players/coaches to a higher standard than games played. To be elite you kind of need to be, ya know. Elite. He was a good player, found a place in the league. But was he ever in the realm of a Kovalchuk, or Naslund, or Tavares etc? No, they are elite. He was a serviceable player that found a niche in the league. He's an average coach and his biggest achievement is winning in a teen's league and going to the finals in the AHL once and as far as I know they did nothing else in his tenure. But hey, low standards makes us all winners.

Ferland Petey Miller would be my first line if we went with a big shakeup. Problem with taking Miller off Petey's line is now Petey has to take faceoffs, and he's pretty bad at that. He's Gaudette levels of bad at faceoffs. Miller is the primary faceoff guy on that line. He won more faceoffs this season than Petey took total. Petey was a 42% faceoff guy.

Is this implying I don't like Tkachuk or something? Him and Sergachev were on my list at that draft. Lol. My comment was more about people dissing Virtanen. And I'd say it's aged pretty well. I mean, he's not top 6 like I thought he'd be but he's a great middle 6 guy that can play top 6 when injuries hit. Should be playing for us now but our coach doesn't like winning I guess.

One might argue saying "players need to execute" is lazy and letting coaches off the hook. Sad fact of the matter is the players didn't play poorly, they were just beating their heads against a brick wall. They had lots of possession early. As frustration set in, they started bobbling pucks and missed passes. Nobody is letting players off the hook, especially the bottom 6. But you have to admit nothing changed throughout the game. Gotta try switching up something. Anything. Same game plan, same lines, same rotation. Failed at the beginning, failed in the end.

He always tries to answer questions in a weird way. "No we didn't get outplayed, they just wanted it more." It's like he wants to appear smarter than the person asking the question. Very weird quirk of his that makes his press conferences unwatchable. That and his tired "we battled hard" "we got chances" etc responses.

Could really have used a 18 goal scorer tonight. And would have been smart to switch up the top 6 when it clearly wasn't working at all. At no point did the top 6 look dangerous. Why not reunite the 6-40-9 line? There were roster changes and at no point did Greener make any. Boeser for Toffoli, and Sutter for Roussel . At least do something. How long was he gonna watch the team achieve nothing?

By the team coached by the guy we fired, for reasons I guess. I liked Torts when he was here. Shame so many here didn't wanna let go of the fact the team sucked and blamed Torts for the team sucking. Torts with a lesser roster beat a team with a better roster than the one Greener was facing down. Say what you will about the team's play but you can see the difference between a good coach and, our coach.

Doghouse Jake Shotgun Jake and Big Mac in next game. Literally remove anyone from the bottom 6 not named Beagle or Ferland. Hell, could even throw Juolevi in next game on the blueline for anyone not named Hughes or Tanev but our coaching staff doesn't have the stones to sit garbage tier vets for young players. Keep playing the safe vets and have lame games like this. It's okay though, can't wait to hear the lame positives Greener will pull from this. Still a few more games to be played, but tonight leaves a lot to be desired. Team lacked energy. Minnie had more hustle and life. Top 6 was suffocated all game and the 3rd line did nothing, except Ferland who was mixing it up. Maybe our captain should yell at the team the way he did Jake.

We need to stop hiring AHL coaches as our HC. We haven't had a good coach since Torts. And he only got one season. -

Top 6 hasn't been bad, Wild defense is just too much. They have nothing to fear from our bottom 6. -

No room for passengers? Everyone in our bottom 6 is a passenger except Beagle. Lol. -

Give us Big Mac and Shotgun Jake. Drop Roussel and Sutter. -

Not a center, I been saying it since he entered the league. He needs a Miller to take the draws for him. Or a Sutter. -

We love making backup goalies look like Vezina goalies. -

If Virtanen doesn't fight there we win the President's Trophy, 1st overall draft pick, and the league rescinds the Luongo recapture. Guy is just plain selfish man. -

Lowkey why I like how the NFL does it, although they are pretty scummy in that regard as well. But if you don't play up to your contract they can just cut you. If you suck ass you shouldn't get paid your money. But in regards to Loui walking away, I don't see why he would. I'd gladly take my millions, even if they stuck me in Utica. Lol. -
Teams You Think Canucks Would Beat in a Playoff Matchup
JeremyCuddles replied to Rindiculous's topic in Canucks Talk
I think they could beat all of them. Honestly. It's the playoffs, anything can happen. -
Sutter has 4.4 cap, not 3.3. On top of that Eriksson's salary next season is actually less than Sutter's. I'd be hard pressed to consider Sutter an upgrade on Eriksson if we're being completely honest. His faceoffs are going down (played 18 more games this season compared to last season and still took fewer faceoffs), he had way less hits which kinda tells me he is shying away from physicality, his icetime is going down and he can't stay healthy. Ideally neither play but Greener loves his vets. Bottom six should be Ferland Gaudette Virtanen. Roussel Beagle Mac. Love Motter's energy but we need big bodies. Sitting 10.4 mil in cap won't look good but it is what it is. They stink. Motter is the victim of LW depth and size.
