Place the blame where it belongs: Travis Green

Getting a little sick of people calling out Guddy, Rousel etc - maybe this will put the blame solely where it belongs:

 

National post article here: https://nationalpost.com/sports/hockey/daily-poll-should-the-canucks-have-exacted-revenge-for-hit-on-elias-pettersson/wcm/76ad0f9e-938f-4f32-9113-f7dbe70638c7

 

“You’ve got to show composure when you’re in a game. It’s a 3-2 hockey game. There’s 12 minutes left. You’re talking about a guy that has one fight in his career. I don’t think he’s known as a dirty player. You’re in a hockey game, you don’t just go start chasing guys around the rink,” he said.

“That’s just not the way it is. I’m just not going to talk about retribution.

 

That's Green speaking - we cant fault players for following their coaches directions (like they are supposed to) 

 

Wanna call anyone gutless - then call the 4 other players on the ice when EP got hurt gutless and paycheck players. They all skated away even after what they saw happen.

While I agree with Green's take, someone definitely has to step up the next time the two teams play.

 

You have to send the message that Pettersson is untouchable, or teams will target him all year. This isn't just about retribution, it's about protecting the team's most valuable asset. No different than reacting to someone running over your goaltender.

No one saw the play when it happened.  So no one got the guy on the ice right then.  Then he didn't come out for a few shifts.  By then the Canucks figured out what happened.  Bo had just put the team up by 1.   You could see Green talk to some guys on the bench.  At that point, he would be culpable for any kind of revenge on the ice.  It was too late at that point.  Dude is going to be suspended now.  Too much hyperbole on this incident.

Hold Matheson accountable.

 

And the two Campbell puppets with whistles in that game.

 

It's in the hands of the DoPeS now. 

And that is both a predictable and unpredictable set of hands.

 

If they do nothing, then we do something. 

And if we do nothing, after they did nothing....then PITCHFORKS!!!!! lol
