I don’t think buying shiny new expensive defenceman can fix this team when we play such a flawed defensive system.
Get rid of Baumgartner and find someone who can do the job.
I don’t know if there’s any coach other than Barry Trotz that could’ve gotten more out of a terrible Arizona team. Tocchet is a good coach , he would drive the Canucks to be better defensively and not so passive. He was a great player, a 40 goal scorer that could go toe to toe with guys like Probert. I would be happy if he was Green’s replacement.
How about a new coach ? Tocchet is available, he made Arizona a much better team than their talent level would suggest , plays a great defensive system, believes in never taking a night off and his teams are tough to play against.
The Oilers can count their lucky stars they get to play the floundering Jets in the first round, Toronto and Montreal have shut down Mcdavid and Draisytl easily, they would make short work of the Oilers.
Winnipeg has got to be the coldest team in the league the last 10 games limping into the playoffs.
What a weak call , Parros is trying to make himself relevant. I guess MacEwan should have gone over to Nurse , sat on him and started punching him with his gloves on instead .
What a joke.
I rate Tortorella much higher than Green. Not everyone buys into what Torts demands and he’s totally unhinged , but he is a Stanley cup winner and Travis Green will never know what that’s like.
What did we rate Willie Desjardins ? Because statistically Green is slightly worse.I really disliked Willie , Travis is a likeable guy he had better playoff success than WD. I think he employs a terrible defensive system. It’s a good thing we have great goaltending otherwise he would rate a lot worse.
5 out of 10
hope he does better with his next team.
