Popular Post *Buzzsaw* Posted August 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2020 I have to say, win or lose, the Canucks have grown tremendously in this series. Watching what happened in the second period after Marky made that save off the Linesman pass, when the whole team woke up and decided they were not going to let their goalie down and leave him hanging out to dry was inspirational. They all committed and didn't quit till they finished the job. I remain uninspired by the coaching job Green is doing, I think there is too little encouragement from him to push back and too little creative offensive coaching, but the team itself has responded to that vacuum by taking charge and everyone has become a leader. The whole team is bonding and becoming a real unit with the players covering each other's backs. 5 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can forgive him for the initial hatchet job on Burrows (note, I said forgive; not forget). But I can't forgive is his CONTINUAL jabs at Burrows well after the incident.

It wasn't really Allen's fault STL lost yesterday. I for one are torn between which of them I’d rather the Canucks faced - it’s really a toss up ...

Also, I’m not sure how old you are but Maclean has been effusive about the various incarnations of the Canucks for decades, during the regular season and playoffs. And what skin off your nose is it if he takes time to talk about the hockey card? Ron MacLean is the biggest phony on television. He made his reputation sucking up to Don Cherry, but when Cherry goofed up, he didn't have the balls to actually be remotely loyal, he bailed instantly when he saw Cherry was on the outs and threw Don to the wolves. If he had real concerns about Cherry's senile ramblings then why didn't he mention it previously?... he didn't because he doesn't actually have any principles other than being front and center on the tube. His whole attitude on air is carefully calculated to make him popular with the biggest audience.... whenever Toronto is playing, he'll celebrate the minutest achievement, but when 2nd level teams, (exception, Alberta teams where he grew up) he suddenly gets muted. He is the master of the snide 'humorous' aside which he uses to put down the teams and players he doesn't like.... he also uses the same technique as last night, when instead of doing the right thing and acknowledging the Canuck's efforts, he disses them by going off on a tangent and starting to talk about something irrelevant... by doing that he is telling the audience the achievement of the team is unimportant. He pretends to be some kind of Hockey-Savant.... with his quotes about what happened 22 years ago at exactly this time or another. As anyone who has been in the broadcasting business can tell you, this is the easiest fill that a broadcaster can do... everyone knows who the teams are, everyone knows who the players are, and these facts can be dug up by either MacLean's research staff or himself, long before the game typed out and placed on his desk for him to read out at some appropriate moment. They are not off the cuff memories, they are planted remarks which MacLean uses to draw the audiences attention to his supposed wonderful mind. MacLean is a useless element on the Hockey Panel.... he should be removed immediately and replaced by someone who can contribute something worthwhile. 3 3 5 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 2 hours ago, RUPERTKBD said: Honestly, I think that's an outdated moniker anyway.... I've mentioned several times over the years, that a modern coach has to understand how to motivate all of his players, even if those motivational methods might be polar opposite from one player to the next. For example, I think we saw when Torts was here that both Hansen and Edler responded poorly to public dressings down. OTOH, Kelser, Wellwood and Burrows always seemed to play their best hockey after AV called them out. Same thing this playoffs for PLD on the Jackets.... Hitchcock brought up how he had to change his style to stay relevant in the league - a known disciplinary and heavy systems guy found out he needed to add counseling like methods into his coaching as what worked wasn’t anymore with the younger players coming into the league. Gen x and baby boomers no problems with his old style. Players coaches still exist but they aren’t like they used to be. Torts I bet has also toned it way down, he lost the room at every stop at least once (won’t bother including Vancouver although in a way he did here too - “Sedin block shots and play 26 minutes!!” Babcocks antics got him fired this year, and sure his methods used to work at one point too - now they seem bizzare and old school (which is a little funny). JB and other sources have called TG a good communicator I guess that would somewhat qualify as a modern players coach using Hitchcocks decade old insights. There is a chart with four segments and vertical and horizontal line used to plot coaching styles ... it’s also probably dated now (one side disciplinary other side players one side tactical other side systematic or something of the sort) and about once a year THN would show where all the NHL coaches fit compared to each other - last time I remember seeing it was when Paul McLean was coaching OTT so a few years back for sure - he was firmly a players coach. AV was near the middle on both lines a mixture but not extreme on any axis... Keenan would be down in one corner Discipline and Tactic heavy ... his blender and in game tactics would make TG blush. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't forgive is his CONTINUAL jabs at Burrows well after the incident. Does anyone remember what Ron said when he was made to apologize to Burrows? I don't remember it word for word but I remember all too well that it was definitely not an apology and in fact just kicked Burrows further under the bus. That refusal to admit his transgressions, apologize, show remorse, and an intention to work towards being a better person, all the while not exonerating Alex for the lies he spewed about him, and babbling on about his own great refereeing history, was even worse than the initial ridiculous rant. He is also flat-out a *^%&*()ng scumbag; that no-shirt picture of him loving himself in public is gross. He fawns over Campbell and is responsible for bringing many of the worst people to work with him at the CBC; e.g. Hrudy, Simpson, Campbell, etc; such a creep. Today is a new day, and having Kevin embarrassing him at every opportunity is a thing of beauty. I have always loved Bieksa but had no idea that he is so knowledgeable and well-spoken. Easily the best on that panel, including Burke, who is getting a little long in the tooth but still very good. I would hope JB & Co would bring him on board like the good move they made with Manny. My parents and Henrik Sedin taught me not to hate anyone. So I do not hate Ron. I just 'extremely dislike' him and wish he were gone. I'd like to hear of him having a bad day refereeing an Alex Burrows ball hockey game. 2 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
