  1. The guy whined and complained, he never wanted to come back only his agent did. If you are a 6'7 230+ defenseman and whining about being physical, you don't deserve to be in the NHL.
  2. I hope Montréal ends it now. This year is a wash. It's almost win win as Ottawa will be hard to catch
  3. And somehow we're going to drop to 10th or further in the draft
  4. No unnecessary fights tonight. Let's get some momentum and win our last few games...
  5. I'm actually liking vesey today, he at least looks engaged in the play.
  6. I'd give Green a 6, mostly because the team he's had has been pretty lackluster so to speak. It's hard to say whether Green and Co. would be good somewhere else if he had a big fast team I could see his system thriving. I also think that the schedule really bummed things up at the start of the season, and is going to make things awful at the end. Losing your number one and fourth line centres, just as the team starts hitting its stride doesn't help either. Quarantine and lack of options made this year really hard to assess the assets . Aside from that Green has made some questionable line up decisions, and he expects a lot out of his players . He relies heavily on goaltending and scoring on the rush. Sustained pressure isn't a thing for this team, which sucks when you have the likes of Miller, Peter, Boeser, Horvat, Höglander, Hughes, Schmidt and Myers. The powerplay looks stale, and one dimensional and yet they (he and Brown) consistently deploy the same strategy. So many turnovers, and pucks lost at the line. Some of the players look so lost a lot of the time, simple plays become bobbled pucks and a minefield for our defense, it's almost like they need better stick handling and puck control drills. It's weird because most the players have one or two individual skills, but the strategy for all for lines is to play like all 4 lines posses similar strengths. But does this fall on Benning for not getting the players Travis needs, or is it that Travis can't develop a strategy that's strong enough to get the most out of his team? So I give Green a 6, and it's strongly based on how he got the team playing in the bubble. If he comes back next year, he'd better find some better strategies and figure out how to get the best out of what he has, or both him and Benning will probably be toast.
  7. Wow, he dropped the puck, and bowls over Motte, that's straight up interference, and pretty dangerous at that, Motte has no time to take a hit as he doesn't have the puck. Motte shouldn't have to brace for hit he's the defender. Liljegren doesn't even contact the shoulders, it's straight a body/head shot.
  8. Tired boys, finally the covid crash. Gonna need to be patient with the team from this point on. It's gonna be a long few weeks
  9. You know if you told me that we'd be 3-2-0 after the covid scare most of us would have been happy. But because of the combined loss and Montréal win its a little tough to swallow for many fans. Frankly I'm happy the team is at least competitive and trying especially after the covid outbreak. I will not be disappointed if we don't make the playoffs; this is probably the absolute worst season for hockey off the rink. The team has been through a lot and I am just grateful to have something to distract me. Playoffs or not, I'm just happy to have a team to watch. Go Canucks go!
  10. I'm not disappointed, just sad... oh well, let's hope for the best next game.
  11. Me thinks our goose is cooked today . They look tired , it's OK...I guess
  12. I thought Jake played ok, I honestly felt bad for him yesterday. The double minor you could see in his eyes he knew he *****d up. He actually looks faster since the break, but still making mistakes. He was also one of the last guys off the covid list and brain fog is a symptom. No excuse really. But he looks more engaged than before the outbreak. At least to me he does.
  13. This guy got me into the Canucks in the 80's. Scored a lot, but the team seemed to be going through the never ending rebuild until the 90's.
