I've just heard on radio that coach Green gave the team a day off today.

Coach Green also said something like "guys will be ready to play tomorrow"

It was my WTF moment of the day. Really? I understand that he does not want players to put skates on for a day to save some energy.

But there are lots of other tools that coach/manager can and should use in a situation like that, in the middle of heated playoff race.

How about some video sessions? Why don't get guys in the room and show them details of Colorado games and explain how the team will play agains Colorado tomorrow?

And tomorrow during morning skate go over that staff one more time on the ice?

How about one on one meetings with players who are not playing great?

How about PK/PP theory lessons?

 

There are tons of way to get players attentions and to make sure that they are ready.

Of course, players like coach Green- he is given them a day off , all employees like extra day off.

Sure, if team comes out of the  gate tommorrow and tears Colorado apart- coach Geen did the right thing with this day off.

But I have my doubts....

 

That’s all part of the country club atmosphere around the team .. Travis Green culture 

 

no worries

 

nothing to see here, all is good 

 

fire? What fire?

Now is NOT the time to call anyone out in the press...

And the team actually didn't play badly...

That’s right let’s all be so worried about being fragile that we absolutely must remain soft 

 

that’s working well isn’t it?

 

Apparently losing does Not matter now, it’s whether you play well?

 

hopefully the league will give us a medal of achievement at the end of the season?

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.

How many years of playoff hockey has Green coached? None 

 

Have you ever played the game? Nope

Oilers played 3 games in four night and won them all 

 

didn’t Green use that an excuse for losing?

 

oh and the Oilers are young

 

didn’t Green use that as excuse for losing? 
 

 
 

 

You are making the bridge slippery.

To the people that say Green deals with the players behind closed doors ask yourself this

 

why does he not make any on ice changes or line mix changes , roster  changes or systems? So he just dresses down certain players and says “ok now get back out there next game” 
 

sooooo you really think anything is being “said”

One thing not taken into account is that Hughes is playing like a rover and that causes lots of points for him but you then have forwards scrambling back to cover and the other defense man sometime switching sides. Stecher sometimes get caught too.

Hughes could not play a conventional defense man role, his skill set is his skating and not so much zone play.

Columbus uses a rover too and he has similar negative plus minus

i have taken that into account

hughes unique skills are built into the team systems of play

the system is modified when he is on the ice

but the overall system for his play is not designed exclusively by baum

but rather it is a team system that applies to all players

but clearly different positions have different roles in that system

i just do not see how people think the d problems of this team rest solely on baum

i say it is green's system, baum has responsibility for the dmen and ensures they understand it and implement it

 

this is not to say that baum would not also focus on specialized skills that dmen need

and would also ensure that the skill level of players is at a pro standard

and that they continue to develop

 

since hughes was raised as a unique player

those posters who are so down on baum

and believe he has exclusive powers over dmen

must be falling all over themselves in praise of him

for his fantastic ability to develop an elite prospect like hughes

does anyone think any assistant d coach could do a better job

then what has been done with hughes?

it is a brilliant development path

this kid could be close to a generational player in hindsight

and baum obviously helped that growth tremendously

Baum is a rookie level  nhl assistant learning from a rookie level head coach In Green. Both were basically rookies on the ahl level as coaches. Zero mentoring/grooming from long time nhl head coaches as is often seen with almost every good coach in the league today... These guys are learning on the job and don't even have anyone with real experience to help them out, yet so many convinced that this duo are perfectly fine and that they are great coaches. Based on what exactly? Their mediocre and short ahl records?

 

Im not saying green or even baumer will never be solid nhl coaches/assistants. But at this point both are so inexperienced that it's laughable to think these are the guys that will take this team to the next level. We are a year or maybe even two ahead of our rebuild in terms of how quickly our young guys have been able to contribute... We need to turf this temp coaching staff and let them learn on the job somewhere else.

Deboer would of been great, gallant is another excellent choice.. An actual seasoned coach that knows something about elevating teams at the nhl level.

Wut?

The foundational one speaking about Nikolai Goldobin. 


“When he has the puck he makes pretty good plays,” said Sutter. “The challenge for him is the other side of it, what to do without the puck and that takes some time to really learn it. You have to have the want to get the puck to go into the corners and the hard areas.“

 

“To do that, you have to have grit and balls and he has to find that.”

bo was a rookie player a few years back

hughes is one currently

ep40 was one last season

 

only hughes remains a true rookie

 

green is no longer a rookie

nor is baum

you frame them as such still

to minimize them

 

are you still a child

should we refer to you as such ?

i don't think so

don't diminish others

by making them less mature/experienced then they are

 

is jb still a rookie gm ?
 

this is so much nonsense

Third season as coaches in the nhl while finishing bottom of the league in their first two seasons. Far from seasoned vets. Do you really believe in these two? Im curious what gives you so much confidence in this duo, just blind loyalty because they're coaching the canucks?

 

Go look at the coaching history of every top tier coach in the league today. Almost all of them have an extensive resume of coaching exp as either assistants in the nhl before jumping to head or many years of struggles as headcoaches before learning the ropes and becoming recognized as top coaches in the league. I'd believe in green and baumer if they were both some savant like coaches with incredible records in the ahl, but thats not the case. They were mediocre in the ahl, and they're mediocre/bottom tier at the nhl level. Green was thrown into this job far too soon and at the very least should of been given an experienced assistant to help him out instead of taking on his mediocre assistant from utica.
