*Buzzsaw* Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) All of you guys who think its Green who is coaching the changes in the way the 1st line is entering the zone in possession need to do some more watching. Those plays are being generated by the line itself, and primarily Pettersson. That is what is allowing them to score those even strength goals... not Green's non-existent coaching. Lets take a look at two examples: December 19th win versus Golden Knights. Pettersson scores his 16th to keep the Canucks ahead. He does it on a set play entering the zone. You can see it here at 2:45 of the highlights: Pettersson breaks out on the left wing BEHIND Boeser who is ahead of him on the right wing. EP40 makes a bounce pass off the boards BEHIND Boeser to keep it away from the opposing D... Boeser takes the pass into the zone IN POSSESSION. He then goes cross ice back to Pettersson who roofs it past Fleury. Now look at last night's game versus LA: Another breakout from the zone. This time its Boeser who is carrying the puck, BEHIND Miller who is ahead on the right, with Pettersson ahead on the left. Boeser makes a bounce pass to Miller off the boards.... same behind the player pass as Pettersson did against Vegas. Miller goes back across ice to Pettersson who scores. Play happens at 6:45 of the tape: Both of these goals came out of set plays... which were originated by Pettersson... not Green. How do I know? Because you haven't seen any other line in the Canucks try this play. If Green was coaching this, he would have started in the pre-season, but this play has been developed only this month. Next play: Entering the O-zone, with the puck carrier pushing back the D as far as possible and then dropping the puck to a follow up player is a standard NHL play. Most teams use this play all the time. Its a standard. Vancouver uses it rarely under Green's system. The last few games Pettersson has been trying to develop this enter the zone and drop pass for his line. I can't show you those hilights because the play hasn't worked... no goals because the timing hasn't been right. Tonight it did work, although the guys on the ice with Pettersson were not Boeser and Miller. It was a line change and Motte picked up the drop pass instead. Watch it at 4:17. of the above highlight package. It was a little lucky, the puck deflected to Motte, but Pettersson intentionally set up the play. Like I said, you don't see the rest of the Canucks lines using this play... even though it is a standard play in the NHL. That's cause it doesn't fit Green's system, he emphasizes safety not creativity, he doesn't like anything which potentially exposes the team to a counter. So he pushes for shooting the puck in. The point I am making is that these creative plays are coming out of the players, not Green. If Green was driving the creative plays, then you'd see Horvat's line trying them as well... but you don't. A good NHL coach provides his lines with a whole series of set plays... the players can choose which one they use depending on the situation. If they have no other choice, they dump and chase. Green doesn't do this.... The Canucks are one of the least fluid teams in the NHL when it comes to having a variety of plays they can call on to allow zone entry. The only line on the Canucks who should be using Dump and Chase as their go to plays is Beagle and the 4th line... their role is to waste time in the opposition zone anyway. Even the third line of the Canucks should not be using Dump and Chase more than 50% of their entries.... they have more skill than that.

Edit sorry more like 33min into Sportscenter right after World Juniors, Leafs highlights, Leafs postgame, Leafs analysis, Hab highlights, Habs postgame, commercials, US college football highlights, Raptor highlights, Raptor postgame. What a joke. it is, but it comes part and parcel with TSN being the rights holder broadcaster for those 2. Consider yourself lucky that you didn't have to sit through Jets and Sens highlights as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how the Bruins had built a sustainable model but as a Canuck fan and despite the regular season success, I am glad they have not won the cup since 2011 ! 3 cups, 2 cups, 1cup. I think I would take any of those models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do know and have a source post it! Goldy and Baer are low level barely nhl players. They cannot play the NHL game and so, rightly, they are not here. Thank god for that... I just howl out loud and cringe internally at a guy(s) like this . These guys are so pompous, arrogant, delusional, egotistical, and out to lunch. How these guys can pretend to understand coaching, what the coach is coaching, what goes on behind closed doors and in practice, and how the players are adapting to it is borderline sociopath behavior. It's also the equivalent of that friend of yours who will routinely lie right to your face and continually think you believe them. On top of that they spew this garbage on hockey sites to other knowledgeable hockey fans. That would be like me showing up to a difficult birth and questioning the soon to be mothers Lamaze coach. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 11 hours ago, Tystick said: Lol guys, Horvat and Baertschi had chemistry. Just saying, we have two talented guys in Utica. Worth a shot. It's not like Pearson and Eriksson are gelling with Horvat Exactly If a player doesn't use his linemates, then are the linemates bad? Bo doing things individually could be his limitation....he needs to use his linemates more by setting up plays rather than making individual bull rushes and playing dump and chase hockey. He needs to be smarter...good players make their linemates better. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think our division is wide open take a look at Group B in the World Juniors: Canada, Russia, United States, Germany and Czech Republic. For the first time ever all 5 teams are at 1-1 after 2 games. Crazy upsets everywhere. Looking forward to a good game to wash the Canada v Russia game bad taste away.

Except these days backups are expected to take on much more of the load and can often be as important as the starter. Look at Toronto, the lack of a quality backup was one of their biggest problems earlier this season, I think I read they were like 0-14 with a backup in goal at one point. I say keep Demko for now, sign Markey to a five year deal, we'll know by the trade deadline if Mikey is the real deal. If the Canucks are buyers at the deadline keep Demko and deal him over the summer for picks, if we're sellers, deal him in a package with LE and maybe Baer for picks/prospects. If we keep them both, one will have to be exposed in the Seattle expansion draft and we lose him for nothing. At this stage their stats are pretty equal, but Markey brings the leadership intangibles and Demko has concussion history. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty accurate description except you left oug thd part where we frequently and consistently fail to clear ouf done when we have opportunity, leading to extended shifts in our zone with tired players giving up grade A chances. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pissed me off at the time but then i clued in and realized he meant to say “we shouldn't loose like that” it wasn't directed at the canucks. No nhl team should loose like that. But nucks fans always so damn emotional. Guys in Alberta might not be as closely tied to the team as people here? Are you not part of the "nucks fans"? He should have said "we shouldn't LOSE like that" then. He made it about us, not them. Cocky and he knows better about how to address losses in the media. Like he's the standard and we have no business beating them. Every time we play them, often in huge blowouts. Sure Drew. Was at the game....Doughty deserves the boo's (and he's been one of my favourite non Canuck players). He bobbled the puck a lot and seemed nervous...when you shoot off your mouth you have to back it up. Now he's lost to a team like that what? 3 times in a row (at least?). Was a fun game. LOVE when the fans are "emotional"...better than a dead crowd full of texters and networkers. Marky. Wow. Can't find words to describe his performance. Just wow. And I LOVE Petey's compete level...after they tied it up he was determined. He and JT have such a groove going...what a set up. But a true Petey "take . that" goal. Punctuated. Jake too. Love this team. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
