Jonald Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Sitting him out in place for Biega is just.. wow LOL Its decisions like these that make our fan base turn to the pitchforks. Unless Goldy himself isn't ready to go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 If Goldobin is actually healthy then that is unbelievably moronic. Willie makes some bad lineup decisions, but I'm not sure even he would play Biega over a healthy Goldobin... right? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuckYa Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 2 hours ago, khay said: My opinion on Goldobin so far is that the skill is clearly there but the compete level isn't quite there for him to be a consistent play at the NHL level yet. It looks like he is one of those players that was able to get to this level based on superior talent and skill so that he is not used to being at a place where almost everyone that he's playing against has nearly as much skill as he does and/or is bigger and stronger with superior compete level to make his skill useless. A consistent work ethics from him would get us a skilled top 6 winger. If he doesn't ramp up his intensity level, then well, I don't want to think about that case just yet. I'm optimistic, it seems like he loves hockey and the players who love hockey eventually figure it out. Too bad he got sick & lost all that weight. I noticed he is getting bumped of the puck & losing balance quite easily at his size in the last few games. Hopefully he works really hard on that this summer & gains some muscle weight for next season. You are right, it's all in the work ethic & hopefully he has a strong one.

Nuxfanabroad Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Embrace the tank. Maybe they're preparing to send him out east, & help the Comets make the spring dance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send him down to Utica quick, before Willie kills this one, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not tell him publicly that they would be playing the kids more? Why are Chaput and Biega playing over him, makes no sense. Put Eriksson with the Sedins and Goldobin on the third line. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put Biega on D and Goldy in the lineup. Not sure how Willie can reward Larsen for stinking up the joint yet again with another undeserved game, while he scratches a promising youngster despite being instructed by management to cut this garbage out. We need the "Fire Willie" chants to be loud and clear. This goof is unfit to coach beer league and it's embarrassing we're letting him set his own lineup when he's proven to be incapable of doing so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Goldobin had a terrible game vs ANH. Terrible. He's young and played so few games with VAN that's its unfair to cast judgement, but he has to show a lot more before he can be a positive factor for the Canucks. If he has to sit a few games and that helps him in the long run Im all for it. Seems like a good kid. Nucks could use some RUS flair 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way he improves is if he plays. If they don't think he's quite ready for the NHL, send him to Green down in Utica to get him back on track. They need him more than the Canucks need him sitting in the pressbox. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of our team played well during that game and singling out a kid who needs confidence and the calling card of a bad coach. Sick of all the excuses for this clown's pitiful lineup choices. . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason Larsen gets special treatment is because Willie had him in the minors. He's playing favorites during a time we should be focused on evaluating talent for next season. Willie seems like a real good guy off the ice, but as a coach he is lacking in alot of areas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's insanely unprofessional for a coach at the NHL level. Benning needs to tell him that this garbage will be cut out immediately if he'd like to finish out the season. What the hell kind of message does this send to Goldy when he sees that Larsen can play however the hell he likes with no fear of repercussions while Goldobin gets benched for scoring? As a coach, WD is lacking a functioning brain. Edited March 31, 2017 by King Heffy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Kid just lost 15 lbs and had a bad night in Ana let him sit and chew on a few steamers. Your not gonna develop the kid by driving Kesler and Getz over him repeatedly. Give him a lil time to get his strength back. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Still got high hopes for this kid! He never got a chance to get adjusted after getting traded here. He came over and was benched by WD, then got sick and when he came back he's 15 lbs lighter and out of game shape. I'm excited to see him get a fresh start next year!

New season came around and Granlund looked much better and we all saw the production. Shows you to never write off young players so soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) On 3/29/2017 at 10:16 AM, J.R. said: Tend to agree. Sutter produces basically the same offense regardless of line mates. No sense 'wasting' offensive players with him when he's far more effective defensively with better defensive players and the same offensively. Chaput, Sutter, Labate Boucher, Shore, Goldobin Eriksson is back and I think he fits quite nicely with Sutter. Add a defensive minded playmaker of some sort and you've got a competitive line that can play pretty big minutes. On 3/29/2017 at 1:50 PM, Hutton Wink said: There's one reason why he's on Sutter's wing -- sheltering. Forgot who it was that pointed it out, but that's the place Willie puts young guys whom he doesn't feel fully confident can carry their defensive responsibilities yet. I think with Horvat and Baertschi he can get enough sheltering that it's ok. The one caveat is that line is playing in the 1st line role basically and that's a lot to ask of a guy back recently from the flu and adjusting to the NHL game. Boeser looking good there so far as well takes away the options we have left, where the Sedins aren't strong enough defensively probably at this point to compensate. He's on the 4th line otherwise, and Shore/Gaunce/Chaput aren't as dangerous a center as Goldobin's used to. Then again, if you're putting Rodin, Gaunce and Goldobin on that line for next year, there could legitimately be something there since Gaunce and even Rodin are very responsible defensively.
