ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I agree Goldy should be playing of course he will makes mistakes but that's part of learning and coaches now a days especially on rebuild teams need to allow this. Now if your on a team that's plan from day 1 is to be in the top for the cup then understandable you don't play your rookies who still need learning, but if your on a rebuild team it makes no sense to be benching them especially when you're down on injuries and 3 of those guys (Horvat,Baer,Dorsett) combined for 25 of the Canucks 82 goals, 30% of Canucks goals were relied on those 3 guys. Obviously you can't just replace those guys, but you need to find ways to get other players to help fill those holes offensively as well, the team needs guys to score goals with those 3 out of your lineup, that's a big hit to take for scoring and not replacing it with guys who aren't known for scoring makes no sense imo, makes sense to add 1 defensive player but after that you need players who can score or be more offensive.

MJDDawg Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 This wouldn't be an issue if we let young players cook in the minors for a year or two longer, out of Botch's and Pratt's prying eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erkayloomeh Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I understand when a coach dies this with players like goldy and virtanen. What I don't understand is how guys like Hutton and gagner and others get away with it over and over . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 7 hours ago, Brad Marchand said: This isn't a Canucks coach thing, it's an every coach thing. For example, both Marner and Nylander put up more than 60 points last year and Babcock still made them play on the fourth line for several games this season. Notice how Boeser hasn't been benched ever since he came into the lineup? The point is pretty clear. If you pay attention to the details, you'll play more minutes. Virtanen and Goldobin aren't quite there yet and that's fine. The important thing is they continue to progress. this almost works until you think about guys like Vanek and Gags. It sounds like Green wasn't liking Goldy's work in practice. Fair enough, but leave the kid in for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I love it when CDC'ers post in a panic. Especially when they don't consider any other factors, like being down our two top defensive centers and needing help that our regular extra centers like Gagner, Granlund and Burmistrov aren't as strong at.

Neko Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Oh god I remember the first few years of the Sedins, they took a beating and was constantly put out on the ice and they were skinny back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dats hockey Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I do agree Goldy shouldn’t be scratch. But I’m love the way Travis green has coach this team he’s probably one of the more positive things this year. But Goldy should really get a string of games going here and let’s not do what Pens did with Pouliot this is the perfect time for him to step into an offensive role with horvat and bear out.

Kinda wonder if that has more to do with the Bertuzzi incident. Then again maybe he is a terrible coach. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfstonker Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 This thread became null and void to me when I read a comparison between the Twins and Goldobin. If the OP thinks that Goldy and the Twins are the same in work ethic then we will have to agree to differ. I accept that Goldy has talent and unfortunately he doesn't have a twin on his same wavelength all the time but he just doesn't work hard enough for the NHL at present imo. There are others coming up who do, so like Subban he better beware of becoming surplus to requirements. Maybe Crawford's talent was not so much in his acceptance of "mistakes" but a recognition of players who work their asses off and are determined not to make the same mistake over and over again.

Goat James Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 19 hours ago, Where's Wellwood said: Maybe they were bad because they weren't ready. Also, it took a lock out for the Sedins to get good. They focused on improving their skating and fitness and when the NHL resumed, they were different players. They certainly didn't get good b/c Crawford used them as a bad second unit PP 5 years prior. No, I’m fairly certain that they won Art Ross Trophies as a direct result of them playing on the second power play unit during their rookie season.
