But, preferably that experience doesn't date back to the 1990's. Davis Payne, Todd Richards, Scott Arniel, John Stevens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roster stinks more than the Surrey city dumpsite. To be fair, two of those were assistant coaches under a (now somewhat reformed) lunatic and a stubborn coach respectively. Neither had the same role here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie was brought in as a transition, and thats what he was. He made it 3/4 of the way and got to do his dream job, and maybe a bit more of it elsewhere. No one should be upset. You're whiffing on the subject matter s'all. We were talking about Green - who wallstreet has already reduced to WD. Which is why I've already aborted the useless 'conversation'/story.

HC20.0 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Really isn't surprising. Willie's alright, but made some pretty questionable choices. It was also very clear that him and Benning were not on the same page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 8 minutes ago, Hutton Wink said: I think we all saw the Sedins' demeanor after the TDL this year -- they were pretty somber at losing Burrows and Hansen. But the last week or two they seemed to snap out of it. Henrik has been pretty cordial and even straight-forward in admitting that he and Daniel let the team down this year. Maybe they were even pleased (likely) knowing that there'd be a coaching change. In a way this change may be at the right time in the transition. The leadership is clearly moving to Bo and the kids, so the new coach coming in won't have to rely on the Sedins to be the ones not only leading the team but providing the offense and keying the culture, as Willie had to out of necessity but probably hung on too long. This is a big opportunity to turn that corner and flip-the-switch to the youth and the new culture, with the Sedins now as secondary support players. In 2 or 3 games the Twins have come to life playing with Goldobrin.. perhaps those 3 team up as the 2nd or 3rd line next year, and let Goldy get the pp time before the Sedins do. Save the twins minutes to eat up the clock when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 2 minutes ago, Qwags said: Wasn't expecting it to be this fast. As a person, I feel bad for the guy. Willie was only doing his job. But as a hockey fan, I'm happy to see him go. Sure, his development of the younger players will be felt in the coming years, but it was his deployment of players that I hated the most. Why did Chaput or Megna deserve time with the Sedins over Boeser, Goldy, Eriksson, and Hansen? Hansen was injured, then traded Erikson didn't work out Goldy can't play defense yet, and the twins need d help at this stage of their career Boeser is being matched up with the number one line of the future Horvat Baertschi and Boeser. doesn't leave many choices.

What does Green bring specifically that makes him the best coach available? I don't think staying with our AHL team qualifies as reason enough. If someone wanted him for an NHL job before now he would already be long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe moreso. You've already written off Green as if he's responsible for Desjardins or is the mere equivalent. Forgive me if I see no point in continuing a discussion with you.

Why didn''t I think of that ...player coaches the first year to save Aquaman money until we hit the playoffs again....one things for sure with Sedins having Edler on the powerplay so much...killing it every 2nd time he touched the puck....there is no way he get's 24 min./game with them as coaches. ....as long as they only play themselves on the 2nd unit PP and O end draws with Boeser winning the draw for them and sniping the goal of course.

I am just interested to hear why among all the options available you believe Green is the best choice. He coaches a similar on ice style to Desjardins, relies on the same type of players as his go to guys, and has the same hard work matters more than skill type coaching philosophy. He us not an upgrade over Desjardins which really should be the only reason you ever fire any coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
