They need to string together 3-5 wins in a row and keep the foot the on the gas pedal. Tonight's game is frustrating for many reasons. Score was 4-2, but it really should of been 2-2 heading into OT if not for the 2 empty net goals. Petey played a bad game. He either waits too long for a shot until the scoring chance vanishes or he stick handles to much and leads to turnovers. He is young, he will learn. Regards to coaching: Green seems to have the team play the same way they did a few seasons ago which when they team didn't have much talented players and relied a lot on dump and chase and grind it out hockey. Right now, this team have more skilled players, I think it would be better if this team play with better structure, a better transition game than just simply a dump in and grind game. You mean like that chance on the late PP in the third, where the puck bounced out to him alone, waited much too long and the chance vanished? The best time to shoot there is immediately. There is surprise factor. Dell wasn't set...so and so forth. Instead, him waiting so long let Dell get set and defenders get in position, less space to shoot, and less space in net. Petey just needs to shoot. How many times does he fake one timers, way too many. Obviously sometimes there's no lane, but he also does it when there is a lane. Last season a whole lot more often than not he just let it rip. Now it's rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Considering how they started. Deserved better, hopefully like the Leaf/Canes games they'll have a better result tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeser was demoted after creating the game winning goal the last game. Green is a huge problem. This team had 3 different coaching staff over the last 6 years but their problems always remain the same. Hardly make a clean break out with the puck, not enough puck support in the offensive zone, give up too much open ice to the opposition in the neutral zone, not moving their feet and on and on. Something tells me there are bigger chronic problems with this team than just calling for the coach's head.

Because the tree in my front yard would have waited to pull the goalie, and wouldn't have screwed up the lines to open the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we are frustrated, because this team is clearly better than the Sharks when they start playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the Dzone play has been just mind numbing bad. Like since when do you collapse into a passive box during 5v5 play? Wtf is that? Nobody pressuring the puck? What? Well I think Baumgartner can share a lot of the blame there too. I don’t think they can adapt with Edler out so they’re playing to not lose right now instead of being aggressive. Standing still and watching the play is not going to equal success. If their goal is to make the playoffs and they wanna play that style, forget about winning a game. I really hope they don’t wait too long if coaching changes need to be made. I feel like this team on paper should at least be a wildcard team. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6string Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) It doesn't help by breaking up your top line to start the game. I like Virtanen but his hockey IQ with Pettersson and Miller is like bringing a knife to a gun fight. Edited December 15, 2019 by 6string Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustapha Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 It's clear this is a talented roster. I think it's time to go get a talented coach. This team has to score 5 goals to win most nights, which tells me they don't compete well against defensive teams. It looks like a lot of teams are starting to play trap hockey again, so if they can't figure this out, expect more losses. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see Hughes in the all-star game this year for the Canucks. He would thrive in the 3 on 3 situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The excuse of being a young team is wearing thin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
