why, plenty of successful teams have gone 0-3 to start a season

And a far greater percentage of teams starting 0-3 have had terrible unsuccessful season.

Totally agree.  Wednesday is not a must win, but it's a better win game.  Getting off to a crappy start will have people calling for Green's head.  

I still say having Loui around this group is bad for the team.  Players know who the best ones are, and who should be on the team.  Sending Baer to the minors instead of Loui was a HUMONGOUS mistake.

Makes sense that Ferland is dropping down the lineup, he hasn't brought anything yet. Leivo is dodging bullets like Neo in the matrix. Dude gets a tonne of opportunities.

I like the changes, providing Loui doesn't play ahead of Jake.  Plus, having a guy with Baer's skill would be nice on our third line.  How about Sutter plays on the fourth line with Beagle and Jake?  Put Schaller in the Press box, and send Loui to the AHL?

Baer is better than Leivo, especially in a scoring/play driving spot.  

[Shift-4]

let's get that winning streak started

 

Go Canucks Go!!!!

I’m not so sure yet, but definitely think sending him down instead of Schaller was one.   Let’s see how things play out over the next ten-fifteen games.  Today’s lineup looks a little better - although I think Leivo should be the 13th guy with LE.

 

 

Eventually we might see something like this ...

 

Miller EP Boeser - Load it up!

 

Pearson Horvat Bear - Off wing but..

 

Ferland Gaudette JV - an actual third line

 

LE/Leivo Beagle Sutter  - ONE shutdown line who cares how expensive 

 

Edler - Myers. (Solid line)

Hughes - Tanev (For now)

Benn - Stecher (good third line)

Fatburgers/OJ/Brisbois

 

PP1 Miller-Horvat-EP-Boeser-Hughes/Myers LOAD it up

 

PP2.   Ferland-Gaudette-JV-Bear-Edler/Hughes/Myers - better then last years ...

and probably the least effective player on the team.

[Western Red]

Leivo can fk off already. Jake with Ferk and Gauds needs to happen. 

[Rush17]

This is a long wait between games.

Leivo has a beauty shot if he can get it off. But those hands.

Dear Newell Brown: it is 2019, the drop pass doesn't work anymore. I trust Hughes or Petey to just carry the puck into the o-zone in an entry. Also, with Horvat and Miller taking faceoffs, we might not even have to do much zone entries because they win the majority of the faceoffs they take.

I was listening to Todd Bertuzzi on 650 AM this morning and his take on the power play.  He said every team in the league does a version of the drop pass or passes sometimes 2 in order to gain entry to the zone.  Dumping it in doesn’t work with mobile goalies and defence man able to retrieve the pucks so quickly.  He also said every team uses the same basic setup using the half wall, man in front etc.  The key is to have quick puck movement and creativity.  I noticed stagnant players in the first 2 games.

exactly, it's not the coach, it's the players not executing
