I wasn't trying to sell it to you, so we can both be satisfied. Pretty sure Virtanen could have managed one shot on goal last night, just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guntrix Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Gotta feel bad for Green. A year ago, we weren't even pegged to be in the race to make the playoffs. He sits the golden boy and the entire fanbase turns on him. Edited August 3, 2020 by guntrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Maurice coached a great game today without his top center and winger. i'm putting the spotlight on Green in this best of 5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Well then how about this: let us just be the most unfair organization in the history of sports with the worst coach ever, in that we try to help Jake become a better pro, and then if he doesn't put in the work, we trade him for a right D. That would just be so unjustified! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnys top 4 day is, arguable the best in the league........Calgary's is most certainly not. I think everyone knew, deep down, this was not a good match up and winning was going to be more of a long shot than most were openly saying.

Knucklehd Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 People need to step away from the ledge. This is a win win situation. At the beginning of the season, the goal was to play meaningful games at the end, and hopefully make the playoffs. Many were saying we would not make the playoffs. Fast forward to now, here we are, for all intents and purposes, playing playoff games. Better result than most hoped or predicted. On top of that, if we lose, we have a fantastic chance at a 1st overall pick. Winning!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a coach you can do everything right, set the table perfectly, but it's the players who have to execute the gameplan. I feel pretty confident that Green's gameplan was not to skate around the perimeter and don't take any shots. Once the game starts, a coach doesn't have many ways to impact a game.........what could Green have done differently, really? Minny's top 4 shut down the Canucks top 6 and the top 6 fwds had 5 passengers last night. Edited August 4, 2020 by stawns 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't see a structured attack in the offensive zone last night, they didn't adjust at all to counter what the wild were doing to our forwards.

If there was no structured attack it's because the players on the ice didn't execte one. This isn't some bush league........every player and coach is among the very best on the planet. Minny's defense completely, 100% owned the Canucks top 6 last night..........if you feel like you need to point fingers, that's who you point at. If I thought it was Green's fault, in any way, I'd say so as he's in my doghouse right now. His mistake came before the game, not during it. petey 2 sog Boes - 1 sog Miller - 1 sog Pearson - 0 sog Toffoli - 0 sog Horvat - 0 sog not one single scoring chance or even remotely dangerous play from the top 6. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewbieCanuckFan Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Pat Quinn didn’t lose his tough side even as a head coach/manager. Guy literally went ballistic (when he was “management”) when an opposing fan disrespected a Canucks Jersey. He brought a sense of pride to an organization that had none before.
