If the canucks skates we have a chance coz we will draw some penalties.. if we are still standing around waiting for passes and not moving then we prolly lose coz we will end up with almost 0 power play again and as bad as the pp have been it still better than nothing since 5v5 we are just as bad creating

Ppl keep saying the sample size is small.. yes the sample size is small for the players especially the one struggling.. but the sample size is pretty big for our system.. it's like 3-4 years now. Why we didn't improve coz we are running the same failed system of previous years. Our defensive system is let the other team out shoot us from the perimeter.. problem is perimeter shots can produce rebound or bounce off random players and into the net.. and we give up 35+ shots a night.. based on goalie save %.. that's usually 3 goals against minimum. Then there is our offense. It's stationary it's static no one moves and is standing still waiting for the puck. It makes us look slow and coz no one is moving.. we aint drawing much penalties.. the only calls we get are cross checking.. we rarely get the hooking or tripping calls coz we don't skate/move.

Is Pettersson not the same player we expect him to be?
wai_lai416 replied to b3nnyb's topic in Canucks Talk
the overall problem is Green's system not really the player imo.. green's system his breakout have players standing still waiting for the puck.. and once they have the puck since they ain't moving they are slow to accelerate and get closed down by the other player and forced to pass the puck to another guy standing around and same thing.. and then they end up just giving the puck up or dumping it away. they need to play closer to each other and skate rather than try these 50ft passes all over the ice to a guy standing still. if we play with speed we create a lot.. look at most of our goals that's not on the powerplay it's a rush with speed. Hughes is always doing these breakout past from in front of his goalie to the center line and then the guy gets mowed down coz he's not moving. they need to be able to move the defense by skating and moving.. but green's system have them very static.. look at PP.. the PKer against us don't really get tired even if they are out there for 2mins.. they are just standing still in a box formation coz we dont' move. pettersson is always on the right wing board.. chiasson is always on the left... like if they don't want to break formation.. they can at least rotate the formation on the powerplay to get the pk to move rather than just standing still blocking every shooting lane and the only way you getting a goal is if the cross ice pass works.. the system we are playing doesn't play to our strength.. it highlights our weakness.. and other team are just exploiting it -

i mean it's also possible FA set an internal budget for coaches and it is what it is.. green is being paid 1mil per year on his contract or was on his previous i don't see him getting more than what he did on his current.. gerald gallant on the other hand is getting 3.5mil per year.. gerald's 4 year contract would be enough to pay for 14 years worth of green.. so maybe FA doesn't want to spend extra if he doesn't have to as long as he can squeeze into the playoff for the revenue winning or not don't matter. -

we don't have any cap space to acquire anyone lol it'll have to be cap for cap trade + picks and frankly we have no one that we could move? pearson? miller? pretty sure we can't afford to move any defense. -

i'm pretty sure he's referring trade those picks away again back when they traded not the picks we have so i have no idea what you are referring to by saying no the pick is gonna be a top 3 pick lol.. pretty sure he's not implying trade the current 1st round pick -

well it's hard to play together as a team when every game the lines that you practice with doesn't even last more than 1 period. so basically they are playing with 0 practice since the guys you play with in the games ain't even the guys you practice with. the 2 most consistent player that played together so far this year have been horvat with pearson besides that everyone have been tossed into a blender and spit out 10 different ways each and every game. the forward at least anyways. -

never liked him since he was first hired.. but i guess was ok with it since he was prolly just a transition coach.. he was praised for his work in utica and the prospects?? where are any of the prospects from utica? he was suppose to be good with young players? yet he chooses vets over young guy every chance he gets.. his coaching sux his philosophy sux his time out usage sux and i can't stand the smirk on his face when complaining to the ref. -
no thx he can stay as an assistant i rather we go with an actual coach that have head coaching experience not a career assistant coach. his career as head coach in the ahl and ihl have been pretty abysmal
