Green cannot only preach dump in and go for a change in the 3rd period to protect a lead. 4 goal leads against Washington and Pittsburg we’re not enough and he did the same against Columbus. Sutter was so afraid to shoot in an odd men rush with only the goalie to beat in a 2 goal lead and his back passed created a turnover instead. Absolutely sick to watch. Fire Green and get Gallant. You guys are assuming Gallant wants to coach here AND that there isn't shady stuff behind the scenes with Gallant given his mysterious dismissals from Florida and Vegas. Hypothetical situation: We fire Green. This permits us to talk to coaches to replace him. In the mean time btw it is going to be Baumgartner or Newell Brown as our interim head coach as we push for playoffs. We approach Gallant but he isn't interested in coaching in Canada... Now what? Babcock? Unlikely given his contract nevermind his history of player treatment with the Marner fiasco. If we make the playoffs that is our goal for the season achieved and Green wont be going anywhere. If we miss playoffs I think it is likely he goes in the summer. Firing him now doesn't make sense for the organization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High and Inside Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I would keep Green into next season. More then half the guys on the team are having career seasons. What happened Sunday isn’t on Travis Green. Green put two veteran players out on the ice that surely know better and totally let the team down. I think as we get more of our developed prospects on the team you’ll see a better caliber team that plays the way the GM and coach want. There is 3-4 guys on this team that know when there contract is up there gone..so they don’t try to adapt and you get stuff like we’re seeing the past couple weeks.

Can’t tamper if a guy is not employed Face it, green is not going to lead us to the playoffs, ever so no loss in dumping him now he is incompetent 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 If we don't have a good home-stand then he should strongly be considered to be let go. Coaching change might not save the season with the injury to Markstrom but it could turn things around and it would make us better moving forward. We have the offense already but the team needs to play better team D. Passive 5v5 defense play isn't gonna get us far. We have a decent top 4 but they and the forwards don't play great in front of our goalies with this current system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biasbieksa Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I don't near enough to jump on the fire green train. However, I do know defensive issues (from the defense and forwards at times) has been a plague ALL YEAR LONG. Markstrom could cover up all the mistakes made previously. Now that he's gone. Look what is happening. Those defensive lapses that have been happening since game 1 are very evident. In countless games that we actually won this year, defense was still suspect.

Do you really want to use that 'bump' this years? I don't. It's not tampering but poor business ethics and is frowned upon. If you are Gallant or Boudreau, do you want to work for a company that is willing to go behind their current head coach's back to look for his replacement? It looks bad on the organization's reputation and deters quality hires in the future. You speak in such absolutes. What happens if this team makes the playoffs under Green? Sure we may miss, but we may not. We don't know so stop acting like you do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent a pick to get each of Toffoli and Miller the plan was to make the playoffs so we need to do what it takes to achieve that plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Iggynucks Posted March 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2020 I wish we could fire Canucks “fans” instead. Bunch of snivelling tear shows that have zero concept of how to manage or coach an NHL team. I’m sure the vast majority of these “fans” have never laced up a pair of skates or played any kind of meaningful hockey or team sports in their lives and it shows. Young teams (coaches included) go through these growing pains and this is the type of adversity you have to face and deal with together as a team to become stronger. Not just throw a sacrificial lamb under the bus. You guys are an embarrassment to our fan base. 2 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol theres more than enough time this season the team doesnt come prepare to start the game or collapse late in a game.. sure not everything is on coaching but theres plenty of blame on coaching.. I'm sick of greens inability to adjust during the game.. and him sitting and defending leads like we are one of the best defensive teams in the league. You cant just say oh these guys are all having career years because of green.. or maybe it's just because of their talents? Prolly would have achieve the same with any other coach with the talent level we have.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazurus Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Fire Green and Benning will just hire another Willie or a Green clone, that his type of coach, you think he would hire a coaching with a winning record? What if that guy said something like "we just aren't good enough?" or "we need more from our vets". Both are criticisms of the GM's job, Green or Willie says them and the media sits on their collective hands, now if a guy with a resume said the same thing, It is hard to fire a guy with a resume.

D-Money Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 On 1/18/2020 at 11:24 PM, Grape said: I think coaching is generally overrated in hockey. It's much more of a player's game compared to basketball and especially football. So that, combined with my belief that Green is doing a fine job, makes me disagree with your opinion. How do you explain the New York Islanders then? Worst defensive team in the league, lose their best player for nothing, then suddenly become the best defensive team in the league and a playoff threat? That's almost all coaching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
