189lb enforcers? Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Glad not to have to nervously watch Anderson hunting down EP or QH tonight. I wonder how many of us look with envy at PLD and wonder how much worse JB must feel seeing him dominate out there at centre? Jones is out and how lucky for the Canucks? What a stud he has been on that roster these past few years. He might have been a superstar elsewhere. Savard will put the hurt on our forwards tonight. The net-front game-within-the game should be an eyeful. I’ve predicted/guessed a 7-2 Columbus win, only because that’s what came to mind. It could just as easily go the other way, but the Canucks will have to fight for anything they get. Not sure that’s their strong suit though.

Yup lol but it's true he coaches a 200ft game and smart hockey and torts coaches 200ft and finish your checks every time and that's what green is missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whaleroad Train Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 We should sit Demko and Domingue and get Luongo out of retirement. We are still paying his wages after all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When something isn’t working, change it! so many better options out there than LE on the second line!! Q: Why is Eriksson even on this team ?

I would love torts coaching this bunch ha so I would say I trust his judge of coaching over Jim's ha Yup. Aquilini can do what he wants, and he does. He thought Torts could squeeze more out if the old core, so he hired Torts. When both Torts and Gillis said the old core was stale and the team needed to rebuild, he fired them and got JB and Linden to try to squeeze more out of the old core. (Which they did fir one year) After Aquilini got behind the retool idea. How many years did he hold on for though, four? Then this summer he declared the rebuild over, and gave direction to JB to do what it takes to get the team to the playoff bubble. I think we have quite a good team. I wish Aquilini would go that extra step now and bring in a coach like Babcock to push the new young group to reach its best. Green was a soft player, and that is reflected in his coaching systems and philosophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, his forecheck is stupid. .....Isn't Babcock the guy that "beats" players in the back room ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree green isn't the right coach but that's just my two cents but he shows he has the tools to be one but his still green and he has greenhorns around him..... But he D system does him no favours and I don't see green coming back after this season or his on a short leash with a new staff.... i agree we need to bring some more attitude , look at the Hawks and kings , star players are aholes and their coaches were too , nice guys finish last for a reason.....

Weird multiple players have had and are having career best seasons most notably Jake Virtanen after being coached by him in both Utica AND Vancouver. But players aren't developing. Interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
