  1. I agree but pp2 = 20 secs? If pp1 looks lame on 2 tries., why not start pp2 on 3 penalty? Create competition to get that bonus to pad stats as well
  2. i thought it was Demko not letting them down again Canucks scored, but if not for Demko, Stars would have scored more as well Hogs looks to be the shiftiest, best stickhandler on the team now, along with Garland
  3. I might try Miller back on 2nd Centre Hoglander Bo Garland Pearson Miller Bo Bailey Pete Podz Dow/High Dick Chais
  4. Aqua is right though, he just extended them both So when he fires them and he will, (depending how against he is paying for 2 Gm,s and coaches) how will he explain that? It won't matter though because when a team is doing poor, they are glad for a new change Hmmm, maybe he will demote Green to Abby for conditioning, and see if picked up on waivers
  5. Coaches, instead of showing EP game film of himself, show this clip of how one takes charge to be on a winning team, down 4-1 after 2 periods, skate around with the puck until your mates get onside, then just skate through 4 Rangers and their goalie and tie the game. We want and need a dynamic EP
  6. Head coach doesn't run the defence, why not just fire assistant and have Shaw run defense? I am sure he has been adding his input, so i don't see him being the answer
  7. When you skate as fast as he does, and sticks get in the way it happens That goal he scored tonight after being down 4-1 after 2 periods to tie it, If that had been a Canuck, it would be talked about till eternity in here I have been watching Oilers lately, it is entertaining hockey to watch, like the late 70's were with entertaining hockey and rivalries BTW EP is a diver or faller
  8. Gretzky couldn't teach what he just did on instinct, much like the Sedins Being great player doesn't always transform to teaching Skill can't be explained nd taught at this level is the problem
  9. Where's the "At least we are not the Laffs "to make us feel better about ourselves?
  10. Pods scores goal gets benched EP keeps getting put out to kill a pp Hogs one of the better players out there Garland too Demko
  11. I suggest quit giving all pp time to pp1 when it is not clicking (actually having more chances last couple of games being scored on if not for Demko) Instead have a pp1 and pp1a If the 1 doesn't generate a chance, then next time start the other pp Create a competition This is where they pad their stats, quit gifting and wasting opportunities with poor results
  12. Not buying into the rust issue at this point There has to be more to it than just that, maybe it's commitment issue, coaching, compete, desire waning? All top players get hurt or play hurt and still perform because they have an advantage over others to begin with I remember being their age and how my body would quickly recover playing hockey, football but the most serious injuries i had were from racing motocross in Canada and USA Racing a 200+ lb bike over 40 mph over obstacles and crashing you get hurt (or die trying) At that age and training for it i was able to recoup and be ready for the next heat or race (and usually place) I loved the sports and adrenalin of competing The love of the sport and winning was my desire, not the purse or the trophy at the end (that was just icing or acknowledgement) but not the drive at all After holding out and getting the money he got, I would be embarrassed letting everyone down and seeing players making so much less, doing so much more As most here, i expect our top players to pick it up and the team as well I want the cocky entertaining producing guy back asap
  13. I was more impressed with the 2nd PP out their and was hoping they would have started the last 2 pp (plus also send a message to pp1)
  14. Hmmmm If we are winning 5v5 maybe Green isn't the problem then? Maybe it is Shaw making him look bad to get his job? Since Assistant coaches provide an important role for the head coach and are usually focused on one part of the team, such as defence and special teams as well as defensive pairings etc maybe it is his assistants failing? Since he is the Head Coach, and director, if he sees that, he should remove them or get involved with players at issue?
  15. and he thought nothing of the Polish Sausage he squirted it on? Guy has issues
  16. Canucks in past have been good at winning games handily we expected them to lose They just might do it again tonight
  17. I had written politicians asking why do you let business close here because they can circumvent pollution laws and move overseas ,while charging Carbon Tax on Cdns on purchases here? Why not charge countries who are exporting products to Canada that have no approved carbon emissions factory a Carbon tax? Pollution does not just stay in the country of manufacturing
