[GDT/PGT] Preseason Oilers @ Canucks / Oct. 9 / 6:00 PM Rogers Arena

[wai_lai416]

I rather green stacks the top 2 line and hopes the 3rd and 4th line can stay afloat till a lot of t⁸he options come back. Otherwise spreading all the offense around we will end up with no offense lol.

Oilers look like theyll be a deep team this yr.

Above the blueline sure.  Behind the blueline?  Not a chance.

It is, but considering this is the last preseason game, Green spent way too much time fiddling around with waiver wire fodder and not enough time allowing the team to build chemistry. We should be pretty much set by now.

Green has spent the entire preseason experimenting on which fringe NHL’er should be playing on the 4th line.

[Dannydog]

Yikes .... that was ugly. Fingers crossed the 2nd looks better

What does that have to do with the play?

The fact that Rathbone has work to do in his defensive end, but Green is treating him preferentially over Juolevi. He will shrug that play off as no big deal. I am really against Green this preseason. He's just proving to me that he's a bad choice as coach.

[Mustard Tiger]

Too bad we didn't have a bunch of preseason games were all our new faces could start to get use to eachothers play ect

Dickinson, and Dowling on the 4th line.

 

Agree we need Miller on winger.

 

Now we just need a PK specialist or two.

Ya but the way preseason and training camp has gone looks like Miller will be starting at 3C to start the season. We have 8-9 guys that can compose a solid top 9, just hope Green doesn’t stick with these mediocre lines.

[canuckpuckluck1]

I dont think my mental health can handle another poor year from this team. I am so over the passive defense and awful PK. I hope this turns around in the second!!!!

[Canuckfanforlife82]

They love playing in front of the fans but don’t score for them at home. Lol

[b3.]

These lineups are just a bit odd, will be interesting to see how it goes this year.

Benning needs more than Juolevi, honestly Schenn is a 7th or 8th defender at best. 

Careful I said that this summer and got lectured.

[Junkyard Dog]

Momentum shifted after that first PP goal.

He lost a prospect in the process. The only game we've won was against worse competition. We've iced terrible rosters against real competition. 

 

Sick of Green.

I'm going to demand the views on the following before I fully support any future Canuck players: 

 

- Vaccines 

- Political alignment 

- War in Afghanistan 

- Feminism 

- Polygamy 

- Testing on animals 

- Bike lanes 

- War in Iraq 

- Public statement on the decline of the History Channel 

 

and the War in Vietnam, of course. 

Let’s continue

Id rather they balance out the top 3 lines.  Teams need to be able to roll lines to be successful.

[Alflives]

Not even booze can make that 2 out of 10 for a period a 7.  

[We_Are_All_Canucks_4_life]

We kept the same defense coach from last year so Its not surprising that the system still sucks. Too bad we did not play the guys who are for sure making the team a little more and build some chemistry.

The system Travis Green has them playing is awful. Too passive and bad defensively.

hey lets get your systems in play. How can we do that?

you haven't mentioned your systems, but..................... are they aggressive and good defensively?

Fire Green and hire you 

[Elias Pettersson]

Miller doesn’t belong on the first unit PP…

[gregthehockeynut]

 Green has always struggled against trap teams like Tippets. Not sure what they need to change up...
