These reporters have been reporting CRAP. Patrick Johnston in particular. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Happy about Clark, of course, and pretty stoked about Brown being gone - though I can't help question keeping Baumer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidt (or whomever those reports were supposed to refer to) never requested a trade.... that's a pretty bad batting average for the smarmy drama queens. They are such loud mouthpieces… Best was that fire Benning rally of 7 people or whatever it was… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 After listening to Brad Shaw, I really like His approach. I think he would step in for a green if next year isn’t an improvement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a seasoned coach come in as Greenery’s sole second in command is a great idea. His approach worked wonders for St Louis and Columbus. I can see his involvement along with Travis’ have an effect on who Benning goes after. Didn’t catch where Baumgartner is going… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convincing John Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 2 hours ago, IBatch said: I agree to a certain degree. Go tell that to the NYI after Trotz was hired, exact same team MINUS Tavares, their goals against went down like 50 goals, their goals for stayed very close to the same, and basically overnight they became a relevant team. He's the exception, not the norm. Quenville's first year was awful, second year outstanding. There is a small, very small, elite level of NHL coaches out there that can actually make a big difference in their teams fortunes. Trotz for me at least, is at the top of the pile. If you can't play defense before he's there, you certainly will learn to soon enough. Torts can do this for a team for a finite period of time too. CLB had no business beating TB and having some of the regular seasons they had, but with him it's always the same old story. Eventually he loses the room, has his favorites and his dog house guys and inevitably ends up unemployed. Not sure how many more reps he's got. Might have one more in him but it does work for 3 years or so before the other side comes out. The rest of the pack, including Green, are just great coaches, in the NHL for a reason and plug away at it, Sure there is a pecking order as well but for the most part it doesn't matter who comes and goes, the team isn't going to react a lot differently over a 2 year sample size with basically the same lineup. Changing the coach does often come with a bump in play, because the players know they are up next IF they don't turn it around. JB and Green are working their Poile/Trotz game right now...sure hope it works out for us. You cannot compare those teams to ours personal wise. IMO and clearly in Jim Benning’s opinion too, TG did well with what he had. We have huge holes in our d, and we need more top 6 forwards to displace guys into our bottom 6. I hate to bring this up because it’s redundant but TT was a huge loss. That is the exact player we need to do the above. We also need another elite C. Bo horvat is amazing. But imagine if he was shuffled down to more of a 2BC or a 3C. We would be a completely different team. IMO we are a Partner for QH and a centre to displace Horvat down the lineup away from being in the Tampa, Colorado discussion. Those are 2 major pieces that can only be drafted and developed. We currently have nobody in the system to fit that description Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the puck and get it out is what I took from that Really happy about the Brad Shaw and Ian Clark signing. I don't know what Jason King does, so don't have an opinion on him. Hope Baumer can find a place on the coaching roster that allows him to grow...same goes for Gustafson. First time I've seen a picture of Williams -- telling myself not to judge a book by its cover. Great interview...great perspectives on how to play the game...great ideas on how to get the most out of certain players (the ones he spoke about)...with what I heard, it seems like a great start to the new coaching "regime". It now comes down to whether the players can execute. Coaches can draw up the best plan, try to get the players prepared, do their best Tony Robbins impersonation, but if players are unable to execute, then the results are still the same. But, I'm hopeful that Brad Shaw will have a positive impact on how the Canucks play in coming seasons. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
