It's not even Christmas and I'm starting to scoreboard watch to see if any of the teams below us in the standings win. This another failure of a season will be worth it if both Benning and Green are gonzo at the end of the season. I have no issues with JB he failed with Loui but our drafting has resulted in alot of wins and Miller is a win. Schaller was not the best pickup but also not a massive cost. Ferland was the right thought but looks like damaged goods Myers is not a star but also not an overpayment Green can go at any time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's with a much better roster than ours... Hard to coach a team that’s run by veterans. Not to mention goaltending was their problem. It was pretty obvious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And definitely not with the team in the position it’s in now where it’s time to take another step. 1 minute ago, DeNiro said: I can’t recall us ever changing a coach mid season while I’ve been a fan.

1-d Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) I think I now totally ran out of ideas as to why this team comes out flat night after night, after losing game after game because of that. The coach always says they talked about it. The players always say they should play for full 60 minutes (It should be a banned phrase in Canucks postgame interviews btw). They were tired because it's the second game of b2b? Fatigue from traveling overnight? Please spare me. Time and time again I've seen other teams coming to Vancouver after playing the night before, on a 2-week road trip, and dominating our team who were well rested. Trying to cover up poor performances with fatigue is the lamest excuse . We have 2 young elite players to build around as well as a couple of all-star level complementary pieces. So individually, we look good on paper and some of the players' stats are even awesome. As a team, they don't play like one too often and downright SUCKS way too often. When you don't play as a 5-man unit on the ice the only way you go is down, rinse and repeat. So if these talented individuals are not playing as a team, where the heck is things go wrong? I'm sure some CDC folks will be glad to hear this -- Let these coaches go, except for Clark and Malholtra . Not necessarily because they are bad (they could be, for all we know), but because it doesn't look like they are getting buy-ins from the players anymore. The sign has been on display on the ice for a month and a half now. Every coach has an expiry date with a team, whether he's good or bad. At least then we'll know if coaching was the issue or if it's something more chronic. Either way, I'd feel better than pondering 'what if', puzzled and frustrated after every ugly loss like this one.

That team was getting outplayed because they’re past their prime and have bad goaltending. Teams always play well with a new coach to start. We’ll see if that lasts. Either way they’re too good to keep losing forever. DeBoer May be a band aid solution but I’d rather us try something than simply accept writing off a season (if the losing continues) Edited December 16, 2019 by DeNiro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be doing the same thing in Columbus as he did in NY or TB, delegating with his staff who knows. Bottom line is the win column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogcrazy Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 It looks like we simply have no chance vs the big, heavy teams, at least according to Coach Green. So how many teams in the league are consider as a big, heavy team? Or these big and heavy teams are only big and heavy when they play us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there’s other coaches out there I haven’t even thought of. I just want a different voice for this team. A patient coach that preaches X’s and O’s and gets the most out of his players.
