Whatever floats the irrational blame game - whine on CDC. What would you have done? There was all sorts of standing around between whistles. I'm sure he caught his breath. I'm sure Miller would be the first to say that this game was on him anyway, not questionable calls by the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTyrany Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 2 minutes ago, Toyotasfan said: Let a point , possibly two slip there. The Canucks carried the play for 15 minutes straight to get the tying goal than let off the gas. They are coached to protect a one goal deficit or a tie which can crush a player's killer instinct. It's because of being too young on D and too slow up front without enough offensive threats. It's frustrating when it backfires but it's probably the safest strategy right now. I'd prefer the team pass the torch to the youth more quickly and let the chips fall. Might be surprised what the team can do with eager forwards.

Whatever floats the irrational blame game - whine on CDC. 29 other head coaches would have put out their leading scorer after a timeout with 30 seconds left. And seeing that he came off with 1:13 left. That would have given him a minimum 43 second rest. Tack on another 25 seconds it takes to line up. That's about 78 seconds of rest.

RWMc1 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I think the overall game plan is solid, they just need to execute better. Sit back and defend the 0-0 tie. If we get the first goal, then sit back and defend the lead. If the opponent ties, then defend the tie. If the opponent goes ahead, then sit back and defend the one goal deficit. Wait for a lucky power-play chance and tie it late. Defend tie and attack late for the tie. Win in OT or shootout. The perfect plan! Why are we not winning more?

The story is still valid considering who was playing well and who was struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not listening to or reading Patterson, whichever medium he's on, but thanks for the non answer. I think I would've had Horvat out there, whether or not he just had a shift. I don't think any other teams leading scorers would be riding pine in that situation either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a great communicator, nice guy and has the team playing hard but strategically, he is a disaster. He seems incapable of getting over his hard-on for the vets. The Sedins have been out-produced and out-played by Bo and company which was supposed to result in the passing of the torch but WD is still standing in the way of a true transition. If I'm Bo, I'm not believing WD's stated position about rewarding performance. that is not being applied equally throughout the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
