Popular Post oldnews Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Love Green. Excellent communicator. Love the way his team approaches the game, and how much the players buy in. No criticisms of Green at all. The one thing that really hindered the team's performance early this season - were the puck moving decisions - the giveaways, the amount of forced stretch passes that were predictable and failing - the attempts in general to force/cheat the game. They gave up a whole lot of bad goals - every time they gave the puck away it seemed to be in dangerous areas, with odd man rushes, and end up in the back of the net. They weren't supporting the puck - they were blowing the zone all the time looking for two liners from Hughes...and most of that is rust, lack of practice time, correctible braincramps with some exhaustion mixed in. Once that tightened that up they started to get on a solid run - pulled back to .500 - were in striking range....and impressively, the bulk of that turnaround came without some key players, particularly EP (the powerplay is not the same without his one timer - and early in the season, he was not taking enough / was squeezing the stick...) In any event...and then covid hit - and it was OVER. However, I'm impressed with how that group performed post outbreak - they literally had half a replacement lineup every night - and had some solid victories, were in most games, with the exception of a few bad nights....But - we got to see more than a handful of young guys we otherwise would not have - and there is some real promise imo with at least 3 or 4 of them. Glad Green is back to continue what he started - he deserves the extension imo - and has been great with our young players - they generally play the game the right way imo. Don't really care to get into the assistants - imo if Green wants them back, it's his call. Edited May 21, 2021 by oldnews 1 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also keen on Clark, as is everyone else. I'm not certain about the assistants though. Guess that's Green's choice... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought his contract would expire same as JB if signed Next year is a show me big improvement year, or both may be gone 1 yr early Thinking Aqua didn't want to pay JB 2 more years and hire and pay a new guy and staff, especially without knowing the future situation with Covid capacity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Sign Josh Manson as a free agent and that’ll satiate the need for tenacious talented truculence that’s been lacking. Top of the notch truculence, I say! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Coconuts Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 Uggh, I hope this isn't true. I don't mind Green, but keeping him likely means retaining Brown and Baumer too and that would be a mistake. 2 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe runnning up the grouse Grind isn't the best fitness test. The Sedins got "OLD" at 32 YO Thornton, Marleau and Chara and Jaagr in some far off nether world are still playing in their 40s I was thinking the Sedins will advise Brown with the powrplay the Canucks already make too many bad passes, not sure how the Sedinies will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmm Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 3 hours ago, 204CanucksFan said: Almost every team in the league uses the drop pass for PP zone entry. The coach teaches the system, which has us with the 8th most PP goals since Brown took over as coach. Not coming up with the big, timely goal to win the game is on the players, they have to come through in those clutch moments not the coaches. All the coach can do is motivate and attempt to adjust game plans on the fly. Players still do the actual playing yes but where is the motivation when its Miller, Bo, Boeser, Hughes every PP and every time they need a goal? those guys are as complacent as the team Torts inherited in 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue Virtanen? Or if we paid him like a 20 goal scorer. He did have some emergence. But it was one year. Maybe we should have stuck to one year? 9 hours ago, Squamfan said: James also has two years left on his contract so it makes sense Jim Benning? I remember next year as term finale on his pact??? 7 hours ago, canuckleheads fan said: I watched all the post COVID games, and as exhausted as that team was, they never mailed it in. They could have gotten down because right out of the pandemic hitting the entire team, the NHL put them on the Bataan Death March of hockey, giving them no chance to catch up to 4th place. Instead, they went out and beat Toronto twice, and played hard the rest of the way. They were minus their most explosive player, and pretty much the entire bottom six, and Greener was playing mix and match with the bottom six to give guys a chance to audition for next year, and still they worked their tails off. To me, that's a team that likes the coach, and plays hard for him. The results weren't always great, but the effort was pretty much always there, in spite of having to play five games in seven nights near the end. This is a great post! Very honest effort from the team. 1st 1/3rd pf the year no Hamonic. 2knd 2/3rds no Petey. Covid. Which created manpower mismatches. Last 1/3rd as mentioned pretty much decimated our bottom 6. I am not 100% thrilled with the coaching. I would like more puck control, less dump and chase. More puck pressure. Especially considering we dump and chase. But also attacking an opposing teams point man at our blue line. Create turnovers. That said we do stack the neutral zone, block shots, play hard. 80% happy? I do like the development of our young players & the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianRugby Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Finally some good news. IMO.. The way players talked about him after the season, no way you don't resign him. I think they wanted to let him walk, but players were already pissed from last offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
