It’s too bad you just sit there in a sinking ship saying all is good, nothing to see here how many times has this team come out flat in big games under Green? when we are all wondering what the h happened when are on the outside looking in for yet another year will you finally give up the Green worshipping? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green gets the full year with his team to see what he can do. Has nothing to do with “worshipping” Green...

coolboarder Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 For me, I prefer balanced game, offence and defence but so far lately, I feel that Green is employing too defensive-oriental in their defensive zone. I am not a fan of collapse formation and I feel that it wears the goaltender out. Demko is one of example who will not success with this type of team game. Marky is the only one that can do it but not Demko. Green is on a short leash this coming Fall if this tactics continue. I do not want to see morale getting worn out because of this tactics. The players can only do so much. I prefer the balanced game. The question is, did we miss a boat by seeing others team gobbling up good coaches by other teams? This is not a bandwagon question because the team did not do well in November and I do not want to see a repeat of the slump in PP, PK, and too much pressure in our defensive zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when he makes clueless decisions (like starting Demko today) ....when we had 2 full days off before our next game day Some of us are just willing to call out the dumb decisions he makes good thing he saved his timeouts today, would not want to pull the gang together after we went down by 2 early In the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said a couple times, I probably should have worded it better, but it does not change the fact that in the 50 years of NHL playoffs that I have been watching the team that won the cup has had amazing goaltending, having great goaltending does not guarantee that you will win it but chances are you will not get there without it, would Claude Lemieux even get a chance to get all of those OT winners if it wasn't for Roys goaltending? It is a full team effort with great goaltending being a big part of it. Edited February 17, 2020 by mikkim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck2288 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Wait until Boston comes in and pushes us around ... again Green will stand there behind the bench, shake his head, have that ridiculous smirk on his face, not say anything to his team, make sure nobody steps up to respond and then come up with some ridiculous post game statement about how the guys were tired, or learning, or taken advantage of 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember all the years of Barry Trotz in Nashville and he was always in the playoffs and never went far. After a number of years people were convinced it was his fault. Players were traded but results the same. So they canned him. He goes to Washington and had the top team or close to top team in the league and then they lost to Pittsburgh. Same talk all over again about how he wasn't a good enough coach etc. Then the next year he won it all.... and Washington's owners were caught with there pants down and lost him as they didn't renew his contract. Then he goes to the Islanders and a team that was picked by a lot to miss the playoffs had an amazing season. So is Trotz the problem or does it just take that many years to get lucky and have everything click? How about Quennville... did he just benefit from the roster in Chicago.... cause he got himself fired and now he aint doing much in Florida. So how do we know if coach Green is the problem or is it Trader Jim has to boost the roster more? When is it the coach, when is it the Gm and when is it the players fault... endless 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While getting Demko some needed ice time. You don't always play the hot hand tired cliche is tired. Not a clueless move and to suggest so is a clueless move as you are not in the locker room talking to Markstrom and Ian Clark to definitively call it a clueless move.
