Without a doubt. Once the season comes to whatever end it does, at the very least, Baungartner and Brown should be relieved of their duties. Based on how the defense has performed and how anemic the power play has been, it has to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there should be scouting for coaches too. All coaches have to start somewhere. You try them out and hope for the best. Times change and methodology changes over time, so it's not always indicative that coaches that had a good record in the past are good now. It seems in today's game that if the coaches respect the players and can earn the respect back from the players, then you have a good one. All I know is one's playing career does not dictate if someone will be a good coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank Gordie, these knee jerk, reactionary, panicky, fragile people aren't actually in charge of the team Can you imagine these people in an actual crisis?!

Some of the complaints prove people aren't watching the games, one poster said Green plays line 1-4 in order and can't adjust. If that is so why was Virtanen moved to the 1st line and double shifted along with, Bo Toffoli, Petey and Miller then. Plus Hughes played most of the last 5 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the team tells you that. His trades have definitely improved over time. The only real black mark on the man's resume is his record as a signer of free agents. There have been some truly bad signings, and some decent ones, but none could be considered great. On his drafting alone, I think Benning will avoid the hammer should the team miss the playoffs.

canuktravella Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 3 hours ago, Curmudgeon said: You have no idea what he is saying behind closed doors. Green is not one to call out his players because he knows that doesn’t work. He will present a united front publically and deal with on-ice problems privately, away from the prying eyes of the media. And not to be impolite, but how many years experience as an NHL coach do you have? If the answer is none you are in no position at all to assess coaching competence. Like zero. ya green might be a nhl coach but barely guy makes garbage decisions there defensive and pp systems are horrible we should have best pp in nhl with petey hughes boeser virtanen this team is run by fools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to be stuck forever in that funk. The tank nation crowd are the ones stuck in that funk and can't get over the hump. The silver lining is despite this rough patch, we are still in a playoff spot. Hump or no hump, Tank Nation hopes you too enjoy watching EP and QH, both top, lotto picks. Mission Accomplished. Accidental Tank Nation is a more appropriate moniker, but what do we care as long as we are picking high each year that Benning is icing his cap-rosters. It’s not our money anyways, or so we’ve been reminded. Accidental or not, Stealth or not, Tank Nation endorses Benning’s expensive strategies (aka Silver linings) to pick high. Love, Tank Nation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nave Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I think this team is dangerous when Boeser is back. Our depth will coalesce then. And of course it would be great to have Markstrom back too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garthsbutcher Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Aquaman Tells JB to fire Green and the staff 100% if we don't get in. Gallant would be my first choice with this fragile bunch and let him bring in his own staff and some new systems. We all know who the dead weight is on the team so no need to go down that road again.

appleboy Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 We have some key pieces in place to build around. Bo , Petey , Hughes , Beoser , Virtanen are all very solid young players to build with moving forward. We have some reel solid youth in our system. I think fans are a little unrealistic to where this team is. I personally think that they have been playing above their true weight level. A few injuries to key players is all it took. They have been giving up close to 40 shots all year. Markstrom has clearly been sensational. Jims job is clearly not over and this off season will be huge. Can they clear enough cap space to keep Tyler? Will he even resign? Can he beef up the defense a little more? Will they bring back Tryamkin and is he a true NHL level player? Lets face the facts, this is clearly a young team that has shown it's fans some big time hope for the future. IF we miss the playoffs it would be a prime year to break the curse and win the lottery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukfanatic Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 2 hours ago, Alflives said: Green is 9 games below .500 If we have such good players, as many suggest, why do we struggle to keep shots down, and have poor puck possession? It’s a coach who is passive in his philosophy, and has junior systems. If we had Babs this season we are 10 wins better. Our young core deserves an elite coach, and not Softy Green. Babcock is no longer relevant. He is garbage now...even the leafs did not want him. Canucks dont need nor want babcock. If they get another coach it should be anything but that ego maniac d bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
