wloutet Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 On being a Captain: I have played with many different Captains (in rugby), and have been a Captain myself. In all cases, we knew that there were some players who were great at leading and motivating us on the field, that may not have been the Captain. I was there because of on field decisions needed someone who a good sense of tactics. However, I never was the player who lead my being outstanding, putting out massive tackles, making great runs. Now things are different in hockey, but does the Canuck's captain have a different job than been the team motivator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd play EP40, Miller, Toffoli and Hughes 30 minutes a game and burn them out. Then run to his place in Point Roberts. Sorry, no thanks. I'd take Babcock before Tort's any day. Torts is a good coach hate him or like him , green coaches a similar system just with less bite and horrible d system 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Just now, Dumb Nuck said: Didn’t say it was 100%, just said the odds were better, if we fire our coach every season we should win a cup before our 100th anniversary. This is all moot with markstrom playing goalie for us. Do you know the percentage of swedish starting tenders with stanley cups? I know you're playing. I'm just having fun.

Judd Brackett and Ian Clark included, both huge parts of the team and both their contracts up at end of season. Promote Manny to assistant coach and handle PP and face-offs. Hire someone like Willie Mitchell for defensive coach. He learned a lot about positioning and defence. He'd be a good teacher. Unless Juice wants to hang up the microphone and be a defensive coach?

That is not true, I believe it was the Olympic break he spent there, but yes Torts, although I like him was the wrong coach for us at that time and probably still would be. http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/john+tortorella+days+downtime/9522867/story.html Edited March 1, 2020 by Dumb Nuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The N95 won't work. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronavirus-prevention-face-mask-not-helpful-wash-hands/ A type called an N95 respirator mask, if properly fitted, can block large-particle droplets that may contain germs, but the FDA warns they cannot filter out "very small particles in the air that may be transmitted by coughs [or] sneezes." The coronavirus cannot infect you through you skin. So it has to get into your system through your mouth, nose, or eyes. I heard that one reason people are wearing masks is to remind themselves not to touch their faces. That would help them avoid getting ill. Makes sense to me... Hope the team plays like they can and not like the last two games. GCG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
