[PGT] Nashville Predators at Vancouver Canucks | Nov. 05, 2021

Dunno why everybody is complaining. This has nothing to do with our coaches. It's those damn kids playing ice hockey during the intermissions. -
[PGT] Nashville Predators at Vancouver Canucks | Nov. 05, 2021

Only an NHL level coach like Green understands just how important two things are... #1) The power of the phrase "never give up". Sure, it's cliche but to apply it to our special teams is absolutely next level. It's bold, it's daring, and it will pay off. Green hasn't given up on our powerplay or penalty kill and neither should we. It's about the long game and sure, these systems might not be working now, but down the road when it really matters we are going to see where it really pays off. He's conserving the energy of all of these players now so that in games 70 or 76 or 82, after all that time not hustling these players will be fresh as daisies. Never give up. Don't change. Elite. National Hockey League. #2)The power of the shorthanded breakaway against. Most people see this play and think, "Wow, this team isn't executing" but they're so smooth-brained that they don't see the bigger picture. All game Demko stays in his crease. What does that mean? Again, conservation of energy. Why hustle? You're on the powerplay. That's Demko's time to earn his paycheck. Now here's where the genius really comes in... Remember everybody complaining about how our arena is silent? What better way to energize the boys than to have your own goaltender absolutely rob the other team on a breakaway on YOUR powerplay? That's big brain stuff. N.H.L. Green has it figured out. We're just catching up.- 751 replies

Also has anybody seen this Demko guy? He seems alright. Made a couple nice saves tonight. Hopefully he gets more games. -

Personal opinion. I think this team is built to be run and gun with an extreme forecheck, similar to how Chicago played back in the day when they went on their cup runs. They had high offensive talent on the back end and high offensive talent on the front end and a lot of great forecheckers to boot. This team is built to be high pressure and is currently coached the opposite of that, and when the team does have a good forecheck they win hockey games over 90% of the time. We have a lot of defensively sound two-way forwards on this team and I just think it's the smartest system to go with because they'll help out the defense when they make mistakes offensively which lead to counter attacks.

Being on the road is where most teams develop their chemistry because they get to gel and bond with each other. Maybe not on the ice chemistry, but personal chemistry goes a long way to developing that part as well. Regardless we haven't really seen any identity from these guys anyways so something seems weird.

No thanks. We need a coach that's tailored for an offensive game.

Is Pettersson not the same player we expect him to be?
MikeyD replied to b3nnyb's topic in Canucks Talk
I thought his last game he had shown a commitment to providing offense in which he hadn't shown in games prior. I think that's the major thing. I don't think he can play like he did last game and be held off the scoresheet more times than not. But he definitely needs to continue to shoot more. I still think he will be fine. -
THIS. This organization kills creativity.

I think we need to renew his contract. He's been great so far this season. -

Watching the end of this Calgary game makes me miss Marky and Tanev. I love Demko though. Glad that gamble paid off but man I liked those two guys.
