I mean why not at least see what the product on the ice is before we start complaining? Or better yet, how about avoiding the complaining altogether and maybe actually cheer for the team through the ups and downs. And I think we're going to be fine. I think it's going to be a bit of a rough start but I think we actually have the organizational depth to do well as the season progresses. There are so many new faces that it clearly has the fans anxious and confused, and it will take a while for the players to get to know each other, but I see good things in the future. I don't like all the negativity. I'm a bit surprised by personnel decisions too but let's at least see how it plays out before we get out the pitchforks and torches. Go Canucks Go! I was waiting in the lineup for the GDT for 5 minutes before I realized I was in the wrong line. 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m definitely no longer on the Green bandwagon, but comparing him to WWII is not cool. I’m sure the veterans who gave their lives for our freedom wouldn’t like their sacrifice compared to coaching a hockey team. I said since, obviously WWII was worse than Green's coaching in some ways 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty stoked to see Chiasson on our first line, personally. We all know this is the best line in the nhl. Green knows it. I know it. And you'll know it too right away here. If we had Wayne Gretzky on our team I hope we would have waived him for Chiasson. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I think the Canucks will be ok 5v5, but will get thumped by the Oilers PP 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard on the boards being the biggest forward we have, 31 so brings experience to a young forward group, net front presence on the PP that we really don't have. And we got him at a Costco clearance special of 750K Glad he signed TBH 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light that fire that will keep him in the top 6 playing good minutes with smart hockey plays. He represented well enough in preseason I thought, but lacked something in his game. Ah, here is the sign of a knowledgeable hockey follower. Could very well be that Green is seeing some signs of Hog being a little bit content with what he did last year and not pushing it into another gear and this is being done to light a fire under him. Maybe coasting a bit in practice? Remember Green sitting Brock for his first 2 games as a rookie? Seemed to have worked out. Of course, this kind of thing is lost on the “DOWLING INSTEAD HOGZ ON PP2?!!! GREEN SUX!! FIRE HIS A**!!!!”. It is very likely there is a deeper reason than what the FIRE GREEN mob says. I highly doubt Green thinks Dowling is a better player than Hog. I’ve always maintained that the rush to fire the coach is some of the laziest hockey commentary there is. But in saying that, pretty much every coach is eventually fired, and very likely this will be Green’s fate at some point. This just ain’t the time. Someone mentioned he could be gone if we have a poor first 40 games. As much as I like TG, I wouldn’t have much cause to oppose such a move. Last year, effed up as it was, I won’t lay what happened at the feet of Green. But this is a HUGE year and we MUST show real progress.

Ofcourse I want us to win even if that means Highmore, Dowling score. We are still Canucks fans. Hell, if Dowling, Chiasson and Highmore become integral part of our team and we have playoff success (western finals) with them on the roster, I'll donate 500 to Canucks place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
