Come on dude you’re just pulling things out of nowhere now to fit your narrative. 2014-15 Arizona had 56 points. 2015-16 Arizona had 78 points 2016-17 Arizona had 70 points June 2017 Tippet is fired 2017-18 Arizona had 70 points 2018-19 Arizona had 89 points. In what world is 56 78 and 70 points a competitive team? Arizona was a horrible team dude, I watched Arizona games those years and they were just awful lol maybe green won’t take this team to the next level but maybe he will that remains to be seen. A new coach might not take the team there either, take Edmonton’s last 6 years as a prime example. But don’t pretend canucks had a good roster before this year. Plus the season isn’t over and they’re still in the hunt so the sky isn’t falling yet.

Wait so canucks lacking talent is irrelevant because it fits your narrative but when Arizona misses the playoffs it’s because of lack of talent? You just said yourself a good coach makes it work with what he has to work with. Canucks didn’t have a lot of talent for greens first 2 years. Spending to the cap doesn’t necessarily mean you have a talented roster. This is arguably the first year he’s actually had something to work with.

He played almost 25 minutes in their last game to sweep the series 4-0 I believe. Edit: Oh nvm that was 3OT gotcha

Vigneault is a fantastic coach but you can have all the talent in the top 6 you want, if the bottom 6 or half your defense aren’t good enough you still won’t win games. -

Sometimes it’s not possible to change someone’s mentality if they’re checked out. Benning does the scouting and call ups for players in the AHL so if he doesn’t feel that those players would help the team then green has to make due with old guys. It sucks but it is what it is. -

Assumptions when you know nothing about a person make you look stupid. I have played the game my entire life. And yes the 1st PP unit should be able to control and move into the zone with control but they weren’t able to at all on the 1st PP. Columbus did it multiple times on the PP tonight. And no I just accept that I don’t know the answers and that maybe this isn’t as good of a team as we thought. You used Tippet and Edmonton as an example to change coaching but that doesn’t help your point as Edmonton has gone through 5 coaches in the past 6 years. So that begs the question about whether it’s because of the coaching or if it’s because the team is maturing and getting better as a whole. Id wager it’s a bit of both but it doesn’t prove that changing a coach is the answer because it took them 5 coaches and a change either every year or every other year before finally playing some decent hockey. I for one would rather give green one more year now that they have a good roster and see what he can do rather than a reactionary firing. Because there is no way of telling if another coach coming in will make this team better. -

Line 1 didn’t score on the PP either so that’s irrelevant. The bench was shortened in the third, you can’t shorten a bench for half the game. And predicting something that has happened multiple times this year isn’t impressive. Yep it was a disappointing game. But you pretending you know more than an NHL coach is getting old. He mixed the lines up and played virtanen and then Toffoli with bo and it didn’t make a difference. Just accept that we as fans don’t know the answers. -

Lol at least get your facts right before complaining about the coach. Virtanen and Toffoli played on bo’s line after about 2 shifts with louis in the first 5 minutes. Which you’ve been non stop saying over and over that needs to happen. Guess what?? They still lost. -

Ooh yeah I would love to bring in Dillon, he’s a great player and has a lot of character. Very much a benning type player -

Another possibility is tryamkin returning this season, his team is down 0-3 in the playoffs and could be eliminated on Sunday. That wouldn’t bring a physical edge to our forward group but it sure would bring a big physical presence on the back end. It’s gonna be interesting to see what happens with that in the coming weeks. He’s also eligible to be signed by canucks as soon as his team is eliminated. -

I agree with that, I’m wondering what JB has up his sleeve this offseason and whether or not he’ll pick someone up. Ferland was at one point the answer to that but now he is a big question mark. But if he makes a full recover in the offseason he could bring that big physical edge they’re partly missing still -
