He did last year.  He's past his best-before date, but he'll resurface with another team, accompanied by assistants who are actually qualified to do their jobs.

Nope

 

we were invited to a qualifier round

 

our trajectory at the break had us falling like a brick at the covid stoppage

Hypothetically speaking if canucks went after Babcock could they land him even though he just signed with the U of Sask? 

I have to ask if the leafs still pay him while he works in Saskatchewan, but no way they pay him if he works in the NHL for another club. And he makes good money from the Leafs.

Yeah, I dunno why he doesn't just go out on Horvat or Petey's line and say F the coaching plan. Or just stay out there for 18 minutes a game instead of just playing 11 minutes. . Hey Jake, just tell Miller to take a seat when the PP comes out. Don't worry, it'll be fine. Jake needs to be more assertive clearly.

Jake has all tools to be a good player no matter how many minutes he plays. Heck if he played 5 mins a game he could create energy, throw some hits. Im not talking just offence I’m talking consistently

Benn puck watching when he should be planting Nylander.

He seems really off/ultra slow this game.  Was going to comment earlier.  A step behind on everything, including decisions.

They need to address the problems on defense, but Juolevi isn't really part of the problem.  Edler has been awful -- worst by far in his career.  I don't see how he doesn't retire a week after the season is over.  Just can't keep up.  Which means taking penalties.    He consistently allows the quicker players easy access into the defensive zone and then seems unable to figure out what to do when the cycle ramps us.  Benn was bad most of the first half of the games, Hughes is a shell of last year's player, at least defensively.  Schmidt has only started playing better in the last 8 games.  They miss Stecher and Tanev obviously.  And Edler has aged markedly. Chatfield wasn't able to do it, should have moved him back to the NHL much sooner.  Throw in the hopeless play of Beagle, Roussel and Gaudette and you have pretty much the answer to why the Canucks look so different from the team that won games in the playoffs.  Losing Toffoli isn't even the worst of it, nor Markstrom even, there is so much that is worse than last year's team.  This is all on Benning, not Green's fault at all.  Nor the fault of Schmidt or any of the new arrivals. 

If you think Edler is at his worst this season you didn't watch him 3 seasons ago. He was 5x worse 3 years ago.

Well he scored 18 last year so it’s possible but that’s on Jake man. You talk like coaches control players like puppets. That they are so under control by a coach that they are robots and can’t make a decision on the ice themselves

Its about consistency 

 

consistent treatment by Green

consistent linemates 

consistent line 

consistent playing time 

 

Jake has not had any of that

Which we won, along with a playoff series.  The qualifying round was a substitute for the stretch drive, which wasn't feasible to conduct.  We made the playoffs under the rules.  That doesn't mean that Green deserves to stay after refusing to fire his 2 mentally handicapped assistants in favor of literally anyone else on the planet.
