luckylager Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Man, that was frustrating, but after sleeping on it I realize the game didn't actually kill my spirit!

DADDYROCK Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Second game of the season and the sky is falling. Lets give it awhile for the boys to become a TEAM, lots of changes to get used to out there. I see Calgary is playing goon hockey again, Colorado has their number, and speed is the way to beat the goons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all on Green and his coaching staff. Yup. Now we're ironing out the wrinkles when it matters. I like Green but this has been his biggest mistake thus far.

Seinfeld Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I think fans are angry/frustrated not because the team has sucked for 2 games, but because it’s been the same story since, what, 2013? Injuries, slow starts, lack of team toughness, boring hockey for the most part, terrible coaches, management twiddling their thumbs, blah, blah, blah. Sick of it. We don’t have any prospect depth after all these years of failure and embarrassingly have zero cap space. Not to mention we traded next year’s first. Other teams are passing us by, while we pull out our trusty rolodex of excuses every April. Forget contending for a cup, this team’s current management and player personnel composition will struggle to get a wild card spot. Remember how fun it used to be considered a contender every year? I don’t. 1 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary is a higher tier team and we had lots of chances. Gripping our sticks and lacking confidence but didn’t quit. We look much better than last year, even though we didn't score. Feels weird to say that but it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 35 minutes ago, stawns said: I liked that line too and AG definitely shows moments of serious potential.......he also gets struggles defensively at 3C, but if they role with that configuration I'm sure he''ll adjust. He's a gamer, for sure. I'd like to see Baer on that line, drop Schaller to Utica and Leivo to the 4th. Baer showed some decent chemistry with Gaud during the preseason and Jake is looking good with Gaud. A lot of fans seem to think that Baer is purely offensive, but he is far more of a complete player than he is getting credit for (although when he first joined the Canucks, he didn't have much of a defensive game). If Gaud is a quick learner in his role as 3C, I can see Baer being called up at some point. The truth is, Baer was only sent to Utica because management knew (at this point in time) no team would pick him off waivers because of his salary cap. This allowed them to hang onto other players that would have been picked off. In due time, the cream will float to the top and the coaches will determine what the final roster will look like (minus injuries). At that point, there may be an opportunity to trade an outgoing player rather than send him down to Utica. The team lines will look quite different in a few weeks and I am confidant we will see the return of Baer at some point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck2288 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 How can a coach possibly say he likes a 0 for 9 power play? Maybe he should give Brown a raise or contract extension for that likeable power play? That says a lot about the culture Green has put in place .... it’s ok just “look good” don't worry about results 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe coach Green has gotten the PP confused with the three times he had the man advantage with too many players on the ice last two games. Ugh.

brownky Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 1 hour ago, Jimmy McGill said: yup Jake did look much better. He wasn't afraid to hold Lucic against the boards either, got in the face of other guys too. Maybe this new look 3rd line with AG is what Jake needs.... thats what I'm hoping. Not playing with garbage ***king players like Shaller for 9 minutes a night is exactly what he needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I think the highlight of this thread was someone complaining about the equipment manager haha, pretty much sums it up right there.

Raspberries Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I am not worried about the top line. Boes didn't have a training camp, came in late and then had to sit for days injured. Ferland's been sick. Give these guys a few games to actually play together and they will start to gel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Warhippy said: Not even remotely concerned. with so many new faces this year I expect October to be a tire fire before chemistry forms And that's fair. But the Canucks picked up three players of note (Myers, Ferland, Miller) that their teams were willing to part with. While they can be viewed as upgrades to what was here before, they only really become upgrades when the team succeeds, and the longer that takes to occur, the more discomfort there is amongst both the team and the fanbase. There is no guarantee of anything. Edited October 6, 2019 by Jack Fig 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukfanatic Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 4 hours ago, canuck2288 said: Any good coach looks at the team critically after every game and does an honest evaluation of what needs to change. Otherwise you are left with the status quo and look how that has worked for us. Every time Green just accepts the status quo and we all hope for different on ice results. listen to his dribble during press conferences. This team is not evolving under Green. You should take a break from the internet champ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
