Why is Andrew Walker such a wiener?

it's kind of funny that the Canucks let Nolan Baumgartner run the D when they had they choice of Brad Shaw instead

There's quite a significant amount of media people still defending Green. Unreal.

If we had Bruce to start the year, we would be first or second in our division. Oilers have the worst bottom 6 in the NHL with a collective -43. Their defense is ass.

Remember when some people here thought Lou Lam was the definition of a good GM?
Threw away picks for LITERALLY nothing. Now look at their record...

What exactly did you hate about Green?
He gets a ton of hate but I didn’t see anything that was so bad to think he was a bad coach. With Willie D his insistence to play guys like Megan and Chaput on the top line was one instance of how an average fan could see he was bad. But with Green I can’t really come up with anything beside maybe him not calling enough timeouts when the game was getting away from them?

@ken kaniff Let me get this straight - GMing, which consists of coaching + players, is easier for you to understand. But coaching, which is a level below that, is too hard for you to understand.
I'm not butthurt at all. You just suck at hiding your bias. I deconstructed it.

Apparently it was easier for you to see a GM underperforming over a span of 8 years, but it was completely difficult for you to assess a coach who had five years. The GM's performance unavoidably depends on coaching and the players; if the latter underperfoms,
the GM will look bad. Cuz hell, if Green sent Benning's teams to the playoffs every year, would you still say Benning was a crappy GM? I'd get the feeling that you'd say Green was a genius coach. In the past, I've seen you criticizing Benning nonstop, but stop short of doing the same of Green. Yes, you are biased.

@ken kaniff Benning's time has definitely come to an end. But by that same token, making excuses for a coach that has five years on the job, good or bad, while casting blame in another position shows bias. Why are you judging one position more harshly than the other?
And why can't Benning's failures be tied in with Green's coaching, since GREEN is the one who assembles HIS rosters? Every single year, we see some kind of pet project from Green that doesn't actually pan out. Pouliot for example. Then we see players like Chiasson who hasn't done much for his gifted PP time, although I admit he's looked pretty good under Boudreau.
All I see is bias from you.

@Devron44 In fact, people who keep overrating Green are suffering the same issues as Green did - not reflecting on the reality. If something is not working, there is no reason to keep doing it again. That is literally the definition of insanity.

And to expand on Green's weaknesses - he didn't try out the things that Boudreau did in one game, over a span of five years.
Five years. It's the same stale coaching of a dump and chase system that he was successful-ish with in the bubble.
Good coaches know when to adapt. Green hasn't shown yet that he knows how to maximize the use of his players.
So once again, I invite all of you to ask: what makes a good coach? I can't see Green being in that company. Not yet anyway. There is just not enough evidence to support this.

Think of it this way, when Benning took over, 5 years in, people were already complaining about Benning not being a good enough GM. Those people who defended Green say that it's Benning's fault that Green was like this. But guess what? Few coaches get as long of a leash as Green did. Call him lucky, or call him unlucky.
Remember WD? After one or two stale head coach jobs and you are pretty much done.And hell, WD had MUCH MORE proven success at the lower levels. Green was a mediocre AHL coach actually.
I don't hate Green. I just don't think he's that good of a coach. Is it ALL his fault? No. But Benning should've realized that he had better coaching options than an unproven coach.
That's what Green is - an unproven coach. The bubble was a great run, but Green was thoroughly outcoached throughout his series. Demko was the major factor - not Green's elite coaching. Understand that Green is not that good and you will see that experience matters when Boudreau steps in.

@Tre Mac@ken kaniff I think you guys need to re-evaluate what it means to be a good coach. With a record like Green's? That ain't a playoff coach.
Now before you say, "Well he didn't get a good roster".
Tough.
Benning didn't get NHL calibre prospects either. That didn't stop people from bitching about how bad he apparently was at developing the team.
My point is that if you're going to give hard-line standards for one person, you better not be making excuses for another guy. Way too often is Green given the excuses that have been frequent with the so-called "Benning bros". There is a bias. Understand that you two are both biased. Green ain't a good coach, period. Look no further than this season. A good coach doesn't play a poor system with the players he does have. No, you maximize them.Is 8-15 proof that he maximizes his players? You guys have GOT to be insane if you do.
