I heard on 650 a tweet today from a "fan" saying he'll quit being a Canucks fan if they don't re-sign Ian Clark I mean who quits their team over the goalie coach? thats the mindset a lot of people are in right now. Good riddance I say. People like that are more fans of Twitter than they the team 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I think a good question is... Does anyone support keeping the assistant coaches Baum and Brown? I don't think I have read a single post in support of retaining them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have read a single post in support of retaining them. Green with new assistants and re-signing Clarke is something I can definitely get behind. I blame Green a lot for this teams struggles but the defense and the powerplay are a big reason we’re losing games. I’d like to see the impact of us upgrading those positions and seeing whether that improves things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it’s funny the teams been a bottom feeder and there’s no changes and people think the results will be different. Our pacific division rivals are extremely happy with the news from Canuck land over the past two days. There’s still lots of moves to be made between now and October so it’s hard to know of course. However if absolutely no team in our division made any moves which teams would you have making the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could live in an absurd fantasy world like that. This is it exactly. If you put @Dumb Nuck or people like this into a group of high ranking people like Gallant, Yzerman, Davidson, Cooper, Brind'Amour, Sakic, Francis, Holland, Trotz, Quenneville, DeBoer, at a hockey symposium and/or coaching clinic and he started going off on Green and speaking like he does here what do those people honestly thing the professional reactions would be? To agree with people like that? I don't think so. It's hard for me to find work in comp sci, or even drywalling and painting but these guys are smart enough after their day jobs to coach and GM in the NHL, they just choose not too. Criticizing others at the top of their field is really where true greatness is unveiled. Edited May 21, 2021 by Gawdzukes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have read a single post in support of retaining them. I'll be watching a lot more WHL games and a lot less Canucks until we hire qualified assistants. Keeping Brown and Baumer risks permanent damage to our prospects due to their sheer incompetence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the numbers don't back up the assertion that the powerplay has been struggling since Brown took over. It struggled this season absolutely but the entire team struggled in every aspect due to having the most compressed schedule in the league 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have questioned his deployment and ice time for some of the players. But the team seems to like him and I don't think he is the worst coach we have had. He, like the team could continue to improve. However, many hockey minds that know a lot more than I do criticise these asst coaches and I think I agree that our PP and defence seems predictable at best.
