We did have a pretty good 7 or 8 minutes in the third.

Why? Players are not playing well. Underperforming and unprepared is on the coaching staff. 

because of the $&!# contracts he's given out over the last few years. We were unable to resign key players in the off season and it's showing.

Almost 5 goals against per game so far, they better fire Baumer after this game, his defensive system is not working and hasn’t worked for 3 years

Not all marky, not even close.  However, when you play an aggressive style you need a goalie to bail you out, for sure

Stawns... gm had had 7 years.  We have regressed to chaput / Megna bad.   Time for a change at the top.   I liked jb.. as a player and gm.  This is a results business...How long does he get after all? A decade?  Time for the axe

Yes - but both things can be true. 

 

Look at the depth of teams like Montreal & Calgary, then look at us.

we down graded in the off season sadly. Bad contracts kept us from signing the key players. 

Who is responsible for those bad contracts? Shouldn't he be held accountable? 7 years people.

What do you suggest the team does Stawns? Considering you think this has nothing to do with the coaching or goaltending 

[Dumb Nuck]

I wish the game started at 7.

JB isn't the issue, yes he has 3 bad contracts, besides that hes been fine this is on green

no, it's on the players.  People need to stop with excuses for poor play and poor efforts.  Greens job is to put the systems in place, work on them in practice.......it's up to the players to execute......coaches can't go out and play

 

[canuck2288]

With Green’s brand of hockey the rink would have been empty anyway 

[Slegr]

Well, I guess winning isn’t everything.

The sportsmanship was pretty good out there. I think Jake Virtanen was having fun, getting some exercise. It’s the small things, you know?

They did, all the way to the final 8.

If it weren’t for the pause in play the Canucks were on the outside looking in and trending in the wrong direction. If the NHL actually played a full, real

season the Canucks might not have even made the playoffs.

The Sens are gonna destroy us next week. 

If the Sens win 2/3 then Green and Company are gone. There is a reason he was not extended this summer.

With a goalie standing on his head. Two in fact, if you count Demko's unbelievable effort versus Vegas.

 

I'm starting to think this dump and chase style doesn't fit this team anymore. Given the amount of pure talent Benning's managed to accumulate, maybe we need to start shifting to a strategy that's more focused on puck possession/control. 

[Cromeslab]

Is it ten games yet?Cuz I’m gettin worried

Twenty five goals against during the last five games

 

Woof 

20 of them are Virtanen's fault, the other 5 because of Beagle and Sutter somehow. Don't ask, it's just what we do. Blame the bottom 6 even though pretty much all the goals against are directly due to the blueline and our top 6.
