Funny how people are criticizing Green for not putting in Virtanen as if they know everything that happened behind the scenes. Lol. So suddenly TG has a vendetta towards Jake? The guy came to camp out of shape, unprepared and spent the quarantine clubbing. That’s your saviour right there. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at the typical overreaction in highly sensitive canuck nation.

Im not gonna buy that Minnesota is the “tested veteran team” BS as an excuse. In 2015, we were the “experienced” team against the flames but look at what ended up happening. The Canucks literally got bullied and ragdolled by 18-year old Sam Bennett and a core in their early 20s who had never played playoff hockey before. Tonight wasn’t about experience. It was about a lack of preparation and having an inferior coaching strategy.

Ottawa Senators win COV 19 Race
PetterssonOrPeterson replied to PunjabiCanucks's topic in Off-Topic General
Haha so funny. -
It might be a blessing even not to go to the playoffs. This team can't handle the playoffs. It's a fragile, weak and easily breakable team. Can't trust 4 goal leads (game vs WSH), 3 goal leads, or 2 goal leads. Yet Travis "We played well" Green is having none of the negativity. What a loser. You will never win with an attitude like that.

If the Canucks miss the playoffs, I think it will actually be a worse feeling than the years prior. We fully expected them to be near the bottom the past few years but this year they just threw themselves off a cliff when they had such a great advantage with that hold of 1st in the Pacific. This team has a such weak mentality and it shows.

[Article] Panthers set to retire Luongo's No. 1
PetterssonOrPeterson replied to Rubik's topic in General Hockey Discussion
lol. The Canucks screwed themselves by offering him that contract. If you are offering ANY player a 12 year contract, you need to think that far ahead and management at the time was ridiculously naive and short-sighted. Also, once he was traded, his allegiance switched over to the Panthers. He doesn't owe the Canucks a thing. I find it laughable that you suggest a player decide not to retire and go on LTIR just for the sake of the concern that he thinks he might be "screwing over the Canucks". A player has right to decide what is best for his career. The contract is the contract and the Canucks short-ended themselves. -
[Article] Panthers set to retire Luongo's No. 1
PetterssonOrPeterson replied to Rubik's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Well deserved. He was great for the Canucks, but Florida was always going to be the place he called home. Congrats to Bobby Lou! -
From Sportsnet 650 Twitter: Green: Just play well... Just play well. Best thing you can do is go out and play your best game. I didn't think we had any passengers. Go up and down our lineup, didn't have any players that weren't good tonight. "Moral Victories" lol. Seriously? No one is going to held accountable? This is who management believes will lead this team to the cup? I've been saying it all along. He is not right coach for this team. I know he's only 3 years into an NHL coaching gig, but if Benning's vision is to "win now" (like his trades seem to show) then get someone behind the bench who is capable of doing that now. It's one thing to have the young players on your team developing but another to have coach having to develop as well. You don't need two of those problems. TG as a player was always known to be a joker and lighthearted guy in the locker-room. You mix that in with his stubbornness and arrogance as a coach and you get a lack of accountability. It's simply like he doesn't care. I usually don't like to overreact, but if that's the voice in the locker-room to a young team after yet another 2 points stolen because of another choke.. especially during this time of the year... you shouldn't be a coach. Please get rid of this clown.

DEFENSE & ENERGY IS THE PROBLEM
PetterssonOrPeterson replied to realfan201777's topic in Canucks Talk
Everything you said is so wrong, I can't tell if this is a troll attempt or just a mental breakdown. Probably both. -
There's always been a dilemma with TG this season. When the team went on that extended losing streak earlier in the year, everyone wanted Green's head. Out of nowhere, they started playing better and had a good hold on 1st in the Pacific and now seem to be trending down quickly once again; the "fire green" demands now back. That's the problem. There will be spurts of good play that makes fans forget about all of TG's flaws and when it doesn't hold up... the same old story all over again. In the grand scheme of things, I think TG isn't the right coach for a team like this moving forward. He has shown time and time again of his serious flaws in judgement during in-game situations (e.g. time-outs), his demeanor seems indifferent whenever the team loses crucial games and he is so arrogant that he will stick with his strategy even if it evidently isn't working. Sure, he's still a fairly new NHL coach but that's been the problem. He's a rookie, very similar characteristics to Willie Desjardins before him. A young team like this needs a well-seasoned coach. A coach that knows when to put the foot down and keep every player in check when they are playing horribly. A coach that knows how to deal with sudden situations and knows when he needs to calm his team down. Just my two cents.

[Rumour] - Mike Gillis to the Devils
PetterssonOrPeterson replied to Me_'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
That's true, but how much did Gillis really even contribute to that 2011 team? I mean, he did his part in adding the extra pieces to complete the team (Higgins, Lapierre, Hamhuis, Ehrhoff) however, that core was constructed by previous regimes. It was Nonis and Burke who were responsible for bringing in the likes of Kes, Burr, the Sedins, Bieksa, Edler, Luongo, Schneider, Hansen...etc. Helk, even the Vigneault was a Nonis hire. He was pretty much gifted an eventual powerhouse team and made the likes of signing free agents a lot easier while decimating the prospect pool throughout the years. He was awful at player development and it heavily impacted the retool of this team. -
Considering the other candidates or lack thereof to drive this new generation forward, I think Bo was the most obvious choice. If Miller was here earlier I think he might've made a good captain. He's not afraid to back down from anyone and he calls things like he sees it. Bo will learn along the way... its been 5 months since he took that responsiblity.

[Speculation] Canucks interested in Tyson Barrie
PetterssonOrPeterson replied to brian42's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Please no to this. If any defencemen, I'd prefer going for Ron Hainsey. Much cheaper, better defence, older but adds size -
[Speculation] Stecher might be on the market
PetterssonOrPeterson replied to HerrDrFunk's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Wouldn't be surprised if TS is moved. I think if you want to be an undersized defenceman, you need to have dynamic qualities like Hughes. Troy is a heart and soul player, but talent-wise is a very average player thats usually physically overwhelmed by bigger forwards. -
A couple things. 1.) Simmonds is a power forward and a tough player that holds his own, but i don't see him being a type of 4th line fighter type where his primary function is to stick up for teammates. He's not the 30 goal scorer he was anymore, so if its just pure "toughness" the canucks are looking for then I would hope for a cheaper option. 2.) I feel like the Canucks team culture is just soft in general. I don't want to diss the Sedins, but during their era was when that was highlighted (Boston series still a clear representation).. way different from the WCE era with guys like Bert, Jovo...etc. Most of the core right now were pupils of that culture and we can still see it now. Even though JB signs guys like Ferland, Roussel, Benn.. its clear that this team has a problem standing up for one another and most of the time exemplifies a passive attitude when their stars being taken advantage of. I think EVEN IF you were to add Simmonds, this team would still have that lingering "toughness" issue.
