Calgary didn't play amazing tonight - we just played horrifically. When we are back to form they are in for a rude awakening. The Canucks were playing to give Markie a shutout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Green is close to the end of his rope - but even if it was a debate I wouldn't just throw him overboard so easily without a good replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Luke Hughes is another left handed defenceman. Do we need another d-man? Seems we could use some fast, big forwards, that will go and crash the net and score. I suppose since Edler only has one more year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Marky made the right decision for himself & I personally wish him the best. He was great here. But when we play them I hope Petey gets him pulled every game. Tram is at best a bottom pair defenseman. Would I be interested if he wanted to come back? For sure. If he can skate & be physical as a #6 that would be great, having the correct supporting pieces is very valuable. But I'm not looking at him as much more than that. As far as Green. I question the defensive system/structure. I'd love to ask him about it over a beer, but otherwise I think he's been great. He's developed the young players exceptionally, and he's pushed the right buttons with much of the personnel. I think Green is a future Jack Adams winner & I don't think there's a better option available for us at the moment. Agree with Tran at 6 D Gallant is much more of a coach Than Green plus Brown and Baumer are Green’s guys. What does that tell you about his decision making ability? Those 2 should have been gone long ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boys will start gelling again Yup. I remember being very frustrated after the brutal Sutter turnover to McD in EDM - then the shutout in Calgary. There's less time to say 'its early' this year, but it is still early and we are missing Miller (arguably as valuable as Petey last year). Realistically if we pickup the win Monday we're still on track. 2-2 on this roadtrip was always a reasonable goal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were gonna lose 2 games at some point. Let’s see what the boys bring Monday that’ll be a real test. Going 1-3 won’t be good.

I mean... and then Tanev playing in front of him is basically “you guys do what you do and we’ll just design around that”. Harmonic doesn’t bring the same pedigree to the Canucks as the Markstrom/Tanev duo. Man. The Canucks are going to figure it out. But man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PositionOfPower Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 42 minutes ago, Smashian Kassian said: Really? That's interesting. I kinda get what your saying but I don't think Jake & Bo are comparable in that. I think the 2nd line Kesler/ROR/Bergeron type was always Bo's projected potential. I agree at his size he could make a bigger impact if he tried to put the foot to the floor - which he did to degree in the playoffs & other times through the years - but its hard to do it 82 games. But he's not far off - unlike Jake who just isn't what we thought he could be at all. I do think there is another gear for Bo though. I guess thats what your saying. And I agree with that notion. We almost need to find a Manny Malhotra type 3C. His addition was so underrated in how it helped Kesler, and underrated in how big a loss he was in the playoffs. Selke caliber matchup/defensive 3C that could free up a talented 2-way C like Kesler (And Horvat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that changing Green does not guarantee anything and perhaps the new assistant coaches can bring in some much needed new energy the needs to go to the next level. The management team should know when to do moves like these.... Edited January 17, 2021 by ShawnAntoski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
