Hopefully he gets a goal before Christmas, he deserves it. I notice he's been having a few more shots recently too. JB needs to change his definition of a good "two way" player to include putting up points along with good defensive play...may be no one has told him this...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang I liked the Granny Virt Brendan line and hope they would get a good 10-15 game run to try and form some chemistry Or is he just showing he loves to skate and work on getting better ???

He certainly has a history for two way play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may just be that Green thinks that with the energy he puts into the game and at his age he deserves a night off. He certainly had one of his best displays against Toronto imo.

GB5 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Gaunce scores tonight....I'm calling it. Edit....Maybe not unless he can score from the press box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made comments far before this one. Pretty much reiterating the same issue of already answering questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Gaunce isn't coming out of the lineup. Probably just likes the morning skate. If he's a healthy scratch tonight, I'll change my username to "MarryMeMatthewTkachuk".

With Calgary losing their game yesterday, we can gain a bit separation by stringing in a couple of wins. Our next 3 games (Carolina today, Philly on Thursday, and Calgary on Saturday) are teams we can easily beat if we keep our $&!# together. I agree with you, however both teams are likely saying that, and ODDly enough... both are correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing his commitment to the team and his coaches. A young player that gets limited minutes doing the right thing and taking every opportunity to improve.not to mention the late start due to surgery. good for him.

Yeah I love that. The same questions over and over and over and over and over and over again.... and then over again and again Is a requirement to get your journalism badge that you have to be a brain dead automaton? Jeez let's hear some real questions, like:" So Greener, I was having a beer with Garrett the other day and he was telling me you like ketchup on your tacos, and he laughed saying he always felt like he had a long lost sibling out there. Care to comment? He's quite a character that Garret. Who puts ketchup in their Pilsner??? " " Are you a fan of table tennis? A few of the guys were in the hall the other day kicking the soccer ball around and allegedly you came out of the room in your tightie whities with a ping pong paddle grinning oddly, then greeted with a murder of blank stares. What the hell was that all about? " " A few years ago John Tortorella tried to storm the Flames dressing room here at home looking to rip Bob Hartley a new orifice. Have you ever done something like that?Would you like to? If so, what coach in the NHL would you most enjoy punching out? " " I'm sorry.... I did have a question, but I think I just sharted when I stood up... can I borrow your hanky? " Seriously. Hire me. I'll even dress up like Nardwuar, if you ask nicely.

Up till recently I think he has played more of a "sacrificial role". By that I mean he has concentrated on laying off chances and protecting his line by concentrating on defence. Imo that doesn't mean he is not a two way player or that he is not playing on a scoring 4th line. As I said he is trying to score, it is just not happening for him yet. Even so he had 2 shots to Goldy's none against Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds like he is laughing but it has to be a painful experience constantly spewing the same BS. The writers are often too lazy to do enough homework. Some one asks about Cloutier and Green goes into depth on his coaching and gives serious kudos to Cloutier's work. It would be nice to see Green turn the pre-game interviews over to his assistants and have them rotate through. Each could discuss what they are trying to do and comment on player development. Many fans would find it interesting IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
