Green has lost his crutches:

ie. Malholtra, decent to strong goaltending, career years for the stars, Miller, EP, Hughes, and Bo. 

A steady Tanev.

All he needs is Brown and Baumer to run impotent pp/pk and non-existent defence.

I mean, the anti-Benning crowd was pretty quiet during the playoffs too.  That’s kind of how it goes.  
 

If I’m ownership I don’t dare fire Benning until after the season.  This market just wants to make every win or loss a debate about his job security despite this being much more of an on ice issue than personnel one.  People were calling for a plateau or a slight regression, not this implosion.  Removing Benning shifts the focus back on to the players and that’s the last thing this locker room needs right now. 

But if you wait until the offseason, you would be risking Benning making panic moves to save his own ass. See Chiarelli before getting canned in Edmonton.

MAN.

 

it is the fault of MAN.

[Arrow 1983]

Does anyone really think Green is coaching this

[-NucksFan]

I have more of a problem with the Personnel Benning has signed 

he got himself into trouble with bad contracts and it’s made it impossible to get the right player in now to take advantage of the young core’s prime years

According to Green they just need to play better... No way really....

When you don't know what the root causes really are you have to use phrases - to play better is a phrase - .

With every game a 4pt game, they can still do it. Not with the garbage performance like today. But you saw them play well vs Jets. They have the personnel. The D and goalie has to be on. 

Yup, it can happen just as solar and lunar eclipses occur with regularity

Really could use a guy like Ferlund at this time, This team is soft as tissue.

The only time Ferlund stepped up, was in a meaningless scrap in a meaningless game against LA, where he got his bell rung, and he has never been the same ever since. I feel bad for the guy,  but Benning signed a guy with known concussion issues, at the same time he was burying Baer for the same reasons.  Ferlund is just another one of a long line of cap boat anchors, compliments of Benning.

Fill in the blank

 

The Canucks play this year reminds me of ________________

I'd get rid of Baumer..Give Greene and Benning a pass for now..

Loui’s payback to Nuckleheads’ brass: -2 on 9+ mins of ice time.  I think he might have saluted using couple of choice fingers in ‘em gloves too

Louie Eriksson is 9 games away from 1000 career NHL games. 

Good luck with that Louie !

Clean house.

I am OK with your statement, BUT I think the assistants (Baumer and Brown) should be part of the house cleaning, too.

No way man! Re-sign them all at $8×8. Get it done Benning!

He seems to be very stubborn, and doesn't evolve with the game.  When you are losing this bad, 5 games in a row now, one would think you might try tinkering with the defence and not just the forwards. He just keeps trying to force good things with the D. and it is not going well.

If the entire team is playing like garbage defensively the last 3 years where goaltending covered up these sort of mistakes. Where despite having Tanev/Stecher we were still terrible defensively, masked by stellar goaltending who's fault do you think it is? The players or the systems they play?

 

Clean house and get a new GM and coach. Team needs a find it's identity.

Maybe but I think this year that’s a lot harder to do anyways with the quarantine and everything.  
 

Ownership has to sign off on trades, too.  With the way things are going we might even be sellers.
 

Sutter, Pearson, Edler and Benn would all have value.
