  1. I thought about Benning being the problem - and he is - but, I also believe it's coaching. It's not the roster, this team has some real good players. Maybe don't trade Jake? Get him a new coach for once.
  2. Rumour has it Jake will be trade, maybe Gaudette too D is terrible, and I feel bad in a way for Myers (even though he was bad tonight). Guy can't make a hit without getting called for a penalty. Something big needs to change
  3. yeah, and Benning's probably not too happy with the season so far, wonder how his patience is with Green. Green might be just like the players, he might be pi**ed that a couple of the vets were given up on, which makes his job harder.
  4. I don't think so, Green would only get himself fired. At this point, Green has run out of ideas, he's getting desperate to save his job.
  5. Green is getting desperate, but sometimes desperate moves make things worse. I can understand Loui in the lineup, he might be hungry to prove himself, and he's got experience, good defensively, which is a huge issue right now. Fine, but demoting Hoglander and not giving Olli a chance, sends the wrong kind of message to the hard working guys. I wonder what kind of player Jake would've turned out to be if Green wasn't the coach his entire pro career.
  6. IMO, demote Miller to the 3rd line Pearson - Pettersson - Hoglander Motte - Horvat - Boeser
  7. Quite the confusing message Green is sending to Hoglander. Hogz has got to be thinking "what do I have to do?"
  8. I would say no, players like Bo and Boeser, Hoglander, Edler, Pettersson are all trying I think, but there are certain players not doing their jobs well. Miller, in particular, looks terrible defensively, no back checking. Somehow he's still managing to pick up points, but when he does, it's like he doesn't care. He's not celebrating goals this year.
  9. Not sure if anyone mentioned this but OTT beat MTL last night, in regulation. Certainly parody in the league. OTT must've really wanted that win.
  10. This would be wild: Head Coach - Bieksa D coach - Mitchell Special Team coach - Burrows I'll bet the Canucks would play with a lot more truculence
  11. Willie MItchell would be a great D coach I think. What's he doing these days, besides fishing?
  12. No, it's all good, I agree with you
  13. Those were undisciplined penalties, not the refs fault. The Canucks, knowing TOR has the best PP in the league, should've played a clean, hard game,. But they hooked, they slashed, etc. It cost them.
  14. Gotta say, Green looks more tired than anyone on the team. Probably isn't sleeping well. Reminds me of Henry Winkler in The Waterboy, probably burning the midnight oil, rifling through his playbook in a panic lol
  15. What are these highly conditioned pro athletes tired from? Lounging in their hotel rooms watching TV?
  16. Yesterday I mentioned how it sucks that other teams set the wrong kinds of records against the Canucks. Well, last night was a good example of that - Jason fricken Spezza with the hatty lol Wow, the Canucks can sure make mediocre players look great sometimes.
  17. I know Miller is a fan favourite, probably the Canucks best player when he wants to be, but I've been watching him and he isn't as engaged this season. His efforts defensively are pitiful, and sometimes I question his passes. I don't think he wants to be here under this coaching staff/GM. He might see what Kesler saw all those years ago, a floundering team that is mismanaged, that will never go anywhere unless things really change. I know some are going to defend Miller, but this is what I see. Trade him for a Top Dman.
  18. Kind of like the look of those forward lines, except maybe replace Roussel with MacEwen. The D, I wish they had a better partner for Hughes, and Chatfield on the top pairing? Green's lost his mind.
