Lucic would be pretty useless on Green's team. His name is Micheal Ferland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost two players to bad hits in a &^@#ing preseason game and not a wimper. But hey, at least we won the game. I'm not defending the hit, which as an armchair viewer I thought was dirty but maybe I heard wrong .....didn't Green say "It was a hockey play"? Went on to say that Brock wasn't expecting it cuz no one expects to be hit when they're on the power play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more damaging result has been his off ice lifestyle and lack of professionalism rather than his skill itself. Hes a fine bottom 6 player and that's what he is ..I've accepted that. However I still don't want him in our core... we have a motivated, driven and eager core lef by Horvat Pettersson and Boeser. .. those are the type of characters I want. I'd move Jake for a pick , 3rd, 4th... sure those picks may not amount to anything with whomever we draft.. but if u can you have an overly optimistic outlook that Jake will become a playoff player then I'll do the same and and say that the 3rd rnd pick we draft will be a top 6 star for us one day. We can also use the draft pick to package for a stud. Just look at the JT Miller trade... there was a 3rd in there that isnt considered a throw in. Draft picks are valuable in trades. Are you all the same posters? I swear every time there is ever a hiccup or anything to complain about all these less than 50 post account climb out of whatever hole and loudly claim "'I am on the whatever train the most polarizing and blah blah blah for 50 posts then disappear."

I think Green doesn’t like coming across as a whiner, and does his best to downplay such incidents. A greater barometer of the situation will be when the teams meet again. How the team comes out and engages the Senators will be telling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to reserve judgement until the game. Personally I want to see the Canucks hit the Senators with everything they have. Send Chabot out of the game. Crack a couple of Tierney’s ribs. Green has to realize that if he forgoes a retaliatory response, the message that’s sent is permissive and injuries affect the team’s capability to make the playoffs, which will affect his employment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Size doesnt equal toughness. Myers and Miller aren't fighters. Myers will give you 1 fight per year. Miller 1.5 and Benn gives you 1.5 fights. Ferland is only tough kid on team who will fight but he usually misses around 10 games per year from injury. This team is tougher than last season but not by a huge margin. Its closer to an average physical team now vs being a soft team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue should have been addressed last game. No excuse. There weren't any pts on the line with it being preseason. For far too long we've let our stars get run over. This has been going on for multiple eras now. We have to start sending a message that this is not okay. Yesterday would have been the perfect time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakuRaku Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I'm really disappointed w/ MacEwen... he had a real shot at cracking this lineup but in his head, he wanted to show he can skate and score points... well, when he wasn't, we expected him to play real tough, laying hits after hits!! But..... Same with Schaller... not using his size and physicality... have fun in Utica! Let's hope Benn, Roussel and Ferland will protect our boys throughout the season!

RowdyCanuck Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Green needs to grow a set and tap guys on the shoulder, to take care of business, Jake can hurt players with his hits and schaller and Benn both can scrap.... green coaches the same style as the Knights but the Knights have reeves for a reason.... I wish they would hire Bert to be part of the coaching staff cause Bert has the stones to tap guys on the shoulder and telling guys to crush guys. Bring back crow or someone with a set that will set the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 It doesn't even need to be a fight. Every Canucks player should've been hammering opponents every change they got aftrer that hit. Where's the anger? I know it's only preseason, but that's irrelevant - one of their stars got injured on a dirty hit. I sure hope they develop that pack mentality soon. C'mon Green, grow a pair. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
