Yes, it's sarcasm lol. 

 

I've been hoping for a different coach since his first season here lol. 

Same here.  It was pretty obvious to anyone who's followed this game for several decades to see green was an Interim coach and had zero chance to "drive" this team to a cup run.  The surprising thing is that Uncle Jim actually resigned him this year after so many years of failure.  Go-Figure????

What's the definition of insanity again..........................?

Well, the Canucks outhit the Flyers 41-13, so the physical stuff is happening. The puck in the net stuff? Not so much. 

They can never do both stuff in the same game don't they?

 

But they've mastered the art of not doing either stuff in the same game.

I hope EP’s Problem is confidence related. Imagine if he regresses to this echl level? They are screwed. I have faith that all it will take will be a goal or two for him to get going.

 

Part of the problem is Miller plays with the hockey IQ of a 10 yr old sometimes.  Emotional, and makes low percentage plays that lead to turn overs.  That line is always chasing the puck or dumping it in. 


And green … even a team of plumbers wouldn’t get outshot 15-5 to start the game. 
 

 

I am 100% sure it's confidence related for EP. 

You don't go from almost a point per game rookie and sophomore player to fumbling pucks, falling down etc. 

He's not even skating right now. He used to accelerate into the o zone but now he slows down and glides in. 

The dude needs a sports Psychologist and a new coach.

Well if that is the case then he is not built to be a Stanley cup champion. Winners overcome these things.

You could be overreacting.

 

This is the same player that was our leading scoring in the playoffs back in 2019-20 and one of the only guys not named Demko to show his worth vs Vegas.

 

Boeser had similar issues in 2019-20 (missing training, confidence low, timing off)and came back stronger in 2020-21(was our leading scorer that year)

 

Hughes was awful last year. Now he looks back on track this year.

 

Horvat had a year when we barely scored during the 1st half of the season then was like a ppg the rest of the way.

 

Petey hasn't really gone through similar trials till now. This is his go. Even last year when he was a bit slow out of the gate he got back to the Petey we knew and he had 5 goals and 2 assists points in his last 5 games before his season ending to injury.

 

So if history has shown us anything it's that these guys go through their ups, downs and ups again.

Well 21st in the league already. That didn’t take long. Everyone is ok with losing on this team. No fire. No one angry the way they came out last time and after the first. It’s just same old, same old. They talk a good game and play terrible on the ice. Talk is cheap.They don’t have the right type of players and who built this team?
