After 271 games as a Canuck Miller has the second highest ppg average in the history of the franchise. I’m glad Alvin didn’t bend over just to make a deal.

I thought there were limits on goalie gear sizes? Vasilevskiy looks like he wears 3 pairs of goalie pants

It only took Boudreau 7 games to get these guys back to .500 and it's not even January 1st. Dare I say playoffs are a possibility again?

I think of development being more of a coaching responsibility. And it didn’t help matters when you have consecutive rookie coaches who are probably more concerned about their own survival than helping young players. Remember the “this isn’t a development league” mantra?

Take note Travis, line blenders aren't the only answer

Quinn’s effort at both ends is off the charts, really impressive

Beating those @#$%'s never gets old

Pearson with a 4th line shift? This is all falling into place nicely

Boys look like a new team.

If Benning's on thin ice any change of coach would just be an interim appointment. Don't see the big coaches available jumping at that choice without long term contract protection, which I also don't see the owner agreeing to. Be careful what you wish for, all signs point to another inexperienced/ rookie coach if Green is cut loose imo.

PK at 66% is still an improvement, right?

Oh, god yes the Oilers had copious amounts of horseshoes up their butt and still managed to fail, I don't dispute that. My point is that there were plenty of us who thought that we were better than the Oilers for turning the corner without the benefit of draft lottery wins when reality is proving to be something quite different.

The "decade of darkness" is in reference to the Oilers rebuild (coined by their own fans I believe), which more than a few of us on here laughed about over the last couple of years.... it doesn't seem so funny now that we are on the bottom looking up.

I remember when "a decade of darkness" sounded like a ridiculous amount of time in which to rebuild a franchise.....and now its sounds perfectly reasonable haha.

I wonder why I always hear that “the NHL isn’t a developmental league” but the Canucks have hired back to back rookie coaches.

It’s an interesting point, wonder if the owners are allowed to bet on their own teams?

Benning and Green should both get their walking papers, but given the amount of money that Francesco has lost these last 2 years it probably won't happen

Keep Green. It’s the (Shane) Wright move.

Both work. As long as it’s a burning bush.

Credit to Demko and the boys for persevering, they needed a win. OEL on PP1 is good. Garland with Petey is good (and could be just what he needs to get going). Podkolzin getting ice time is good. Chiasson is bad. Like Wtf bad.

Chiasson and Green can both go take a hike.

No sense in firing Green if Benning just replaces him with another rookie like Cull. Who's available (and not named Quennville)?

Is it Green’s system? If you asked him in private he’d probably say the players aren’t executing his system correctly, there’s 2 sides to the story. It’s been interesting listening to Hirsch do color commentary for the last couple of games, he’s not everybody’s cup of tea but he understands the technical side of the game well enough that he can see the flaws in our defensive game. He’s also right in that fixing those flaws when you are on a long road trip is near to impossible. Hopefully the boys can crawl back home at .500 and get the ship turned around.

Sounds like Edler but at 7.25 per.

Lames with zero effort. Schooling us at tanks
