LOL... really??? You think Green would have said to the guys specifically "yo Mac & Schall!! I don't want you to anything nasty to Tierney! Just not cool!!"

Bertorama Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Another question I battle with and that I’ve been worried about with Brock is his ability to stay healthy. I get my thoughts will be controversial, but here I go, although it’s a borderline questionable hit....Is Brock just an injury prone player at some point you can’t deny some players just seem to get hurt more then others. Wether it’s their style of play or maybe lack of awareness??? there is a theory that players have something intangible and it’s called hockey sense. Hockey sense is often used in regards to play making or ability to see the play but to me in some cases it’s awareness of keeping yourself from getting injured and in my opinion should include the ability of not putting yourself into compromising body positioning to the boards and taking contact when your not in good body position. Connor McDavid is classic example of my comment or point. Connor is an elite playmaker and off the charts ability to beat most players in the league with offensive hockey sense but seems to lack common sense when it comes to allowing his play to put him at serious injury risk because he puts his body first over backing off. Theres a fine line of being great and winning battles because it was an even battle to begin with vrs a battle you are most likely losing because your too late to the play. To prove my point, if Connor beats the D man at 100 miles an hour because it’s a clear beat great for him but if he gets clipped on a play he was hoping to win at that speed with out protecting himself near the end boards he’s no doubt getting hurt flying into the boards at his speed and it’s happened twice now. I’m all for players to compete and win battles but you have to recognize you can’t win them all that’s hockey sense maturity and unless it’s the Stanley cup you have to play 82 games if your going to be successful in your career. My hope over all is that Brock learns how mature his game to play at top level while making sure he positions his body and play to prevent putting himself at risk. The greats who last and go season over season injury free seem to have figured that out. Just saying.

The thing is ... it is almost better if the Canucks run Tkachuk instead.... a super good open ice hit or boarding on him.... That will send a message. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Green is only in year 3 of pro experience. This is the greasy area of hockey he should get advisement on from Smyl. Responding in the right way will build team chemistry. There's an elephant in the locker room otherwise. I miss Dorsett, he knew when and how to answer.

canuck2288 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Coach Ghandi returns for another season of peace and love 2 points in a meaningless exhibition game are far more important than sending a message to the rest of the league once Green is fired (probably during the season or shortly thereafter) I hope he looks back at his peace and love approach to hockey open season as always on the Canuck star players 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a dirty play? Yes. But it happens. Until the DoPS starts suspending more harshly for these incidents, these hits will continue to happen. The referees should have called this a 5 min. penalty in my mind, and suspended the guy. Also people need to use common sense, is a girl walking in a dark alley in the middle of a night a smart thing to do? I would say no. Doesn't matter what she's wearing. She shouldn't be walking down the dark alley in the first place. It's again all about common sense. Don't put yourself in a situation where things can happen. Seriously? You totally contradict yourself ... first blame the DOPS and then blame Boeser? You think no other NHL player or any other hockey player has never faced the boards? Put himself in a “situation” ???

Rather than saying out loud what we're all thinking. He seems to clam up and says play on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. A great hit on one of their young stars will send the right message....... The code in hockey is strong. One of your plugs runs one of our stars.... we run one of your stars... That is the best approach. Running one of their plugs after he hits one of our stars still leaves them ahead.... Target a skill guy on their club for retribution. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the coach isn't willing to eat a fine to stand up for the players, what kind of message does that send?
