  1. Finally a win but it’s still very clear that if we get below vezina caliber goaltending we lose and by a lot. I cannot believe they didn’t stop play when he lost his blocker if he had taken a shot on the bare hand could end a career way to look out for the players safety nhl.
  2. Didn’t the rangers send out a letter to the fans 3 years ago that they were rebuilding.
  3. Maybe they should try dumping it in more lol. like even on the power play lol. good stuff.
  4. Be prepared for defensive lapses from hamonic. not many If any players can step into a game after having 5 months off. Id be surprised if he isn’t injured with a few games 3 practices and 1 ahl game especially in the green chase the play and frantic disorganized d zone play. Hamonic should have been in Abby for two weeks to get into game shape not three days.
  5. 2 practices 1 game and he ready to go. that's not how players get injuries like groin tears but hey who cares about that he a slight upgrade to our BOTTOM PAIR. we have so much depth that a bottom pair dman is the difference. and we couldn’t cover him long enough to get him safely into game shape. It doesn’t matter who green plays because green is the problem. That’s why we get the same result regardless of how many changes to personnel get made. rush him in then act surprised when he gets injured. Brilliant. .
  6. 7-2 nyr the “high event” low success system will continue to do as it’s done for 4 seasons Fail. if a team plays like they want the coach fired then they probably want the coach fired.
  7. Aren’t they also tied for 5th worst in the league So just hoping others do worse is the plan it all makes sense now.
  8. Need not worry after the trade deadline when we could off load vertans and pending ufas but don’t we will go a winning streak to make sure we draft no better than 10th then lose those ufas for nothing. then sign some over priced veterans ufas make trades for even older over paid veterans lose all the nhl ready prospects in Favour of crapy new veterans. wonder where it all went wrong (excuses) rinse repeat.
  9. Hunts been worse than terrible hamonic has played once in 5 months And he’s trying to win games you say?
  10. Yeah because so many teams lining up to take Hunt. 1 game is Abby lol way to let him get his conditioning and game shape up green wins the daily biggest idiot award again atleast he wins at something. Scream a desperate coach who’s totally out of ideas.
  11. What’s he played one game in the last 5 months . Lol wouldn't want to get him into game shape first . What could go wrong. Just screams desperation that an out of game shape 4/5 guy is the difference lol.
  12. Still the excuse that we had nothing doesn’t hold water. Granted we didn’t have nhl prospects but most teams that spend a decade being one of the leagues best rarely have and abundance prospects. Even Torts who was awful saw this team was done (and he was a FA hire) no surprise he spoke out against trying to “win now” he was relieved. A Gillis interview after he was fired he stated he should have revamped the scouting department and it was his biggest mistake. how delarome still has a job is beyond me decades of terrible picks… The bold explains why I believe top level GMs won’t work here and why our owners hire rookies who are easy to control. And it’s the deeper issue this club has. what it doesn’t explain is how Benning let so many good players walk for free right up to tanev and markstrom regardless it’s past time for change and JB had his time and failed to deliver he’s built this team and he’s had two coaches and he hasn’t managed any level of success. he kept his job because FA loves a good puppet and Jb hasn’t spoken out. Burke Gillis torts and linden all got axed after speaking out against ownership “plan” Just Another coincidence I guess. isn’t it funny so many say ownership isn’t meddling but then point out he wanted no part of an obviously due rebuild. And blaming the gm from 8 seasons ago is just a desperate attempt to hold onto all the lies and failures of Jim and FA Times up excuses are used up we should have started this season with a fresh new group with renewed expectations and hope instead it’s the same old same old recycled quotes for failing.
  13. Benning had the option to do what everyone knew needed doing( including Gillis) and START REBUILDING instead he said “ I think there’s a window to win” wrong again and again and again that’s the JB era failures and poor decisions. So saying he had nothing to work with is a total pile a Jb excuse crap. trade the players that have value build through the draft developed The picks and tough out a few years with b trade players. he didn’t trade the assets when he had the chance he waited till they had devalued or worse LET THEM WALK FOR FREE. Jb is like his record, crap. He’s traded more picks than any Canuck gm and his team is a loser. the drafted player development has be crap the drafting has been average at best and terrible past the second round and asset management has been non existent there is no gm working today that sucked at every aspect of the job that is still employed. he should have been fired last summer and he could take his terrible coaches with him. instead we got set back even further and have about as many nhl ready prospects as the day he took over 7 years ago. yup Gillis mortgaged the future and drafted poorly with his LATE round picks he was also in the real win now mode and we won everything except a cup. Benning is and has been garbage, excuse s excuses excuses after failure to deliver on a single thing. This club needs a fresh start from gm to coaches and they need experienced proven people. No more PR crap or rookies The biggest issue I see is the Good top notch people won’t work here with FA. is it just a coincidence since Burke left we’ve had rookies …. I don’t think it is.
  14. All those years of laughing at Kevin Lowe and how terrible he was. Now Jb is worse and in some elite company with other flushed turds. He is however the best at pathetic excuses. resigning green was just one more example of his incompetence. i thought in summer a full clean sweep gms coaches and hire experienced proven ones and move forward . instead it’s more of the same recycled crap vets a coach who looks lost and a team that reflects the gms abilities. No more excuses win of get lost.
  15. That’s because there isn’t anything to explain. bieska on last night - “edm a fast skilled team that’s going to score “ ““cal a tight defensive team that shuts the “door” “ van I don’t know what they are “ in the past under green “ fun to play against “ it’s not just the fans guys that know hockey can’t even explain what the H is going on. green “we want to play tougher “- then cuts all the toughness in favour peewees. So my guess is Our system is to be totally predictable and not change all sht that isn’t working. Cue the excuses - “we have lots of new faces “ that’s been used for 7 years running FYI other teams have new faces to why do we need so many new faces every year and why do we get the same results with the new faces . calgary got a new COACH and a system no excuse for new faces thou. The no system system sucks it’s sucked when willie D used it and it sucks that green is even worse at it than willie.
  16. Wow All of a sudden I’m not the most negative guy here. Lol im starting to like the green effect.
  17. Sure like demko. And they Nucks did come out ready to play for the first time this season. but….. pushed around by the oilers …. A new low. hey didn’t we have a guy that stood up for his teammates against Kassian. “High event” low success system working perfectly. . Was chiasson playing tonight I think he has LEitis the power to be invisible.
  18. I hope they wait 20 games because if green can do something hes failed to do in 4 seasons and make this team a competitive winner then great. if not We will be to far behind to make the playoffs and that should AXE green and JB. no more excuses. so really this season is win win. look at me spending positivity !!
  19. Really Looking forward to the 10 minutes when they actually put any effort out. Its the green “high event” with low success system. Mcbaby should also be on full display crying every time some one touches him. and bummer No smith I was really excited to see some 10/10 dives followed by I’m actually ok tantrums. bad new we face the back up. should be good could be bad
  20. Crow Hartley Boudreau to name some off the first page. all huge improvements over green proven at building and winning getting the most out not only veterans but young players to. the rookie coach experiment had been tried twice and twice we’ve gotten a coach that loves plugs that fill no real roll aside from place holder. This team should be past the “ place holder” players yet here we are with 4-5 on the team. torts Hitchcock Babcock aren’t options all are past their best before date. greens coaching style is like watching a kid try to force a square peg in the round hole. and then after he’s done say I tried really hard and I’ll try to do it again tomorrow. everyday.
