It’s a tough one, but I’ve been advocating for that. at some point, the F group can no longer be suppressed. I think it’s time mgmt bites the bullet and says, ok, we skip ahead and play the way we intend to when everyone is heathy and do it NOW. to me, that is a last resort but now a necessity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But poke me in the shoulder like that in public and you will get the slow death stare followed by a not so subtle warning later on in the dressing room.

I think this roster would be a pretty good fit with Torts as a coach. I know that will be an unpopular opinion but it’s much different than the roster he had his 1 year here. I really don’t want Torts back but at least you know this team would be hard to play against. And he is actually pretty underrated at getting a lot out of his roster. At least with Torts he would try and get some players back who have a little jam and can play a physical game. I doubt Torts would have let Gadjovich go so we could keep AHL fodder like Dowling and Chiasson around. At least Torts would bring some emotion back to the team. This team is emotionless right now and simply going through the motions. Even a blind mouse can see it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would explain the PP too(very structured) and explain why he is reluctant to put Garland on the #1PP, despite his production so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was toxic. But not toxic to his players. Just to certain media and Bob Hartley lol. Edited November 1, 2021 by NewbieCanuckFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate his coaching style. Yeah I don't think he's the guy for this team, look at how he treated Laine, much like Green with a few players. As soon as he left Columbus started to turn the corner. I couldn't imagine what would happen if he was screaming at his players, it is not effective in getting a message across. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Aquilini will really fire a guy he just signed to a contract extension? Real question is: do you really think he can afford not too? Or maybe the only time he will really care is if fans stop buying tickets to games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A commentator once described tiger woods' moody temperament by saying it looked more like he was giving birth to a round of golf than playing one. That would describe the Nucks right now. There is no joy in the game for then and they look like playing is painful. Not a good vibe at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJC Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Yeah it’s definitely hard to watch. Frustrating to say the least. One caveat to all the things I have said which is infuriating for me, and likely a strong rationale as to why this team isn’t being led by the right coach, is the anemic power play. That should be the golden opportunity to see what this team would look like when healthy and the top 6 playing up to snuff. But there is no life or electricity in the PP right now and that’s inexcusable given it’s the opportunity to really command on offense. I don’t know…it’s all really confusing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
