I can't wait until we can blame weird $&!# on the next coach.

One is the guy who previously ran Carolina into the ground, I believe.

That stat is 100% on Newell Brown.

Both units are embarrassingly predictable.

I believe this would have been done by now. Gut feeling I have.

Green auditioning his coaching prowess for The Crackheads.

Wrong goalie.

I heard a rumor if ya stick yer bloodied thumb up yer coach's butt, a powerplay coach gets his wings. Dunno how true it is.

Hell, he's barely 60!

Over / under on Maurice getting canned for this epic late season skid? I think chances are very high myself.

Probably out of shape. But like it matters.

All I know is, Gaudette would have had hit butt plastered to the bench tonight.

Maybe he wants to see the kid get a legit hat trick for his 1st? He'll get one too, another star is in the making here on the Canucks. $&!#ty season, but again the future looks bright in several regards.

When Edler's gone, OJ starts getting way bigger minutes and more important icetime. He's just learning still. Eddies clearly in to get his 100th. Everyone should be feeding him pucks till he buries it too heh.

He should know...

Crystal Ball time: Green walks, is hired by Seattle. Paul Maurice is canned by Winnipeg. With the Myers connection, plus the young stars familiarity between clubs, it wouldn't be a stretch to think that he's the next coach of the Canucks.

They generate about 85-90% (eye test/gut feel) of their shots on the PP on the 1 timer quick passes to the forwards from the hashmarks, (Brock, Petey/Miller), and netfront (Bo). The deep man is always looking to one time pass to Bo or Brock, so that leaves only Bo or Quinn setting up Petey. It's very predictable what's happening, because the shots are coming from 3 parts of the same zone on the ice. The way I would remedy this is go oldschool play with two guys who bomb the puck from the line, and have 2 guys who roam the front for 1 timers, tips, and screens. The bottom guy's job is back of the net puck retrieval, and secondary screens. 2 real D on the backend on powerplay is oldschool I know, but it fixes some of the problems which the team has, which mostly stem from the fact that Quinn has to walk the whole line. Put another D on the right side who can absolutely rip it. Petey and Brock on the hashmarks, and Bo doing deep man duty. 4 shots is better than 3, with increased defensive posture. PP2 uses two D, aye? Go back to it on PP1 too.

Tanners a 3rd line winger with Bo as his center. Petey 1C, Miller 2a and Bo 2b C. Bo already is our checking line center, so just make it official. Same career trajectory as Trevor Linden. I like what I see with Miller at center, and he says he likes it too. We know what Petey does at center, and Miller was mostly just on his line for faceoffs. Petey wasn't amazing at faceoffs this year, but he wasn't getting smoked either. Petey Miller Bo is a pretty spectacular lineup down the middle. This setup changes the team moving forward, in many good ways. 3rd line centers are hard to find, and Bo would pretty much instantly be among the best in the league. 2a 2b 3, it matters, not, he's already playing this role anyways. Look for some speedy diggers for Millers wing from within, or UFA, but the top UFA priority should be a permanent long term partner for Quinn on D.

Green, who's 7 games away from unemployment? That Green? Unfortunately, I believe he'll be the coach of the Crackheads next season. Regardless of whether or not there's tampering involved, this is what I can feel in my gut's coming.
