If Benning doesn’t fire Green soon, he should be fired with him. While I agree his lines suck, you're under rating Bailey. Bailey has value on a line with Petey. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rebuild ended this summer. Now you give your coach a chance to coach the finished product, which is fair, especially since it takes time for a team with as many new faces as the Canucks time to gel. The last thing you want to do is inject a new coach with entirely new systems into a team with this much turnover, you're asking for disaster. Travis is the only coach some of our top players have had at the NHL level, you don't want them to lose confidence with a new coach, new systems and new teammates. So far, I think Travis has done well. In spite of Petey playing like crap, the team had a successful road trip. Yes the home opener was a clunker, but there is something about the first game home from a long road trip that always works against the team, and it doesn't matter who the coach has been. You can see which players have Travis' confidence, as he's quick to shorten the bench in tight games, and over-plays certain guys who he thinks he can trust. As the season progresses, that's going to happen less as other players win his confidence. My only real complaint was with the way Travis obviously favored Rathbone over OJ. I wish he hadn't run OJ out of town. Rathbone played like hot garbage last game, and has been an own-zone turnover machine so far this season, it would be nice if Travis could put a smart, cool, solid LHD out there on the third pairing, and send Rathbone down to Abby for some much needed seasoning. Since Poolman appears to be out, that means it's Schenn in for him, and I guess Hunt will get the nod ahead of Rathbone. Hunt played like trash in his appearance this season. Do they put Schenn with Hughes, and Burroughs with Hunt? Good post. While I'm not a huge fan of Green, I'm not against giving him one more shot to see if he has it. Unless, well, the team goes in a long losing streak middle of the season. Then, they should fire him as soon as possible to salvage the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game in Buffalo I wanted Green fired. I hated it so much. Last game our home opener I excepted better results. So 5 games I’ve been satisfied. I mean we started the season on a 6 game road trip with what 3 home openers? Anyways I think there’s some concerns but it’s early in the season and we are what 3-3-1. 6 of those on the road. Fan base has been panicking since game 2 lol. I’m not as high on Green as I once was but It’s deflating to see every scenario criticized. If he was fired I’d be like ok let’s go. It’s not realistic at all though unless we really get behind early here but I feel that’s what some are waiting/hoping for so they can move onto the next victim. For me I don’t understand that. The other thing is I do not understand the fascination with Highmore. He’s a bottom 6 guy with a motor. He’s nothing special but nothing as much as someone likes to dump on him either. Anyways go Canucks go. Not hope they lose so I can have my way gtfo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for correcting us with your OPINION A beer league goalie could have done better? All you gotta do is look at a highlight to see how awful the goal was. Yeah, I know it's weird but sometimes goalies have mental lapses that make them look like they've never played the position before occasionally. He didn't look like a beer league goalie all game, just on the goal. It was a backhand that hit the center of the net from a poor angle. He made himself extremely small (only took up the lower quarter of the net). Go watch it. It's Tyson Barrie's goal. Also, don't forget Cloutier let in a goal from the opposite side of half that again, most beer leaguers could stop. It happens. Edit: I'll save you time since you don't wanna actually watch the games and pretend you know what you're talking about. Go to 2:20 and tell me a beer league goalie can't stop that shot. Edit 2: I'll even upload a screenshot of the puck hitting dead center if the net (with a circle to point out where the puck is) from a bad angle to show how awful his positioning was.

They believe that a goalie standing on his head is the only way they can lose..... This from the Flyers website: "On Wednesday, Carter Hart shook off a questionable save-selection play on Edmonton's first goal to settle in to play brilliantly in making 34 saves. The game entered the third period tied at 3-3 largely due to Hart holding the fort while under siege in the middle frame." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
