I realize that Coach green is extremely desperate to win a single game to try and avoid what we all know is inevitable for his fate - but WOW - this smells of desperation and is dangerous for his health. So sad to see the way green is coaching this team. It's just unbelievable he's still here and allowed to carry on this way. It's just unbelievable how much smarter you are than everyone who is actually paid to make these decisions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Glad they are sending Rathbone down, he has a lot of skill, but he badly needs some work on the defensive side of his game. I said that at the start of the season, that I though he should start in Abbotsford for the first month to 6 weeks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I recall Hamonic too. Good Dman from what I remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt kilgore Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 We don't really know how much Hamonic is ready to play now. I fear he'll be playing catch up all game. Which is something Rathbone at least would not be doing. He'd be driving rushes. I'm certainly not as sour on Rathbone as some I guess. IMO we so desperately need offence over defence anyways. So for me, I'd rather sit Hunt. I think Rathbone better exemplifies what this team is striving for going forward. As well as the fact that we have no other offensive D other than Hughes. And goals against is not a huge problem....its the offence. Yes, of course Jack could get more playing time in Abby which can only help him. So its not a "mistake" per say. But I do question if Hamonic is going to be even more of a risk coming back early, than Rathbone's risky play. I'd play Rathbone > Hunt no question.

Dekey Pete Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Good move, but Rathbone should have started the season in the AHL. Funny how everyone is hyper focused on the defensive game, and our defensive systems, but to me it seems like we have a much harder time scoring goals than defending against them. And that starts with the power play. With the skill and creativity we have up front this should not be an issue, but yet here we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Maybe the team should replace Green with a coach whose brain functions properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fact that you call for the Mods to do something about it is everything that’s wrong with our culture right now. People with opinions you disagree with are still entitled to their opinion. Mods, at ease. Wanting the mods to prevent a user from advocating to run a player out of town (who's simply doing what he can out there) to get at management... this is what you think encapsulates everything wrong with our culture? My goodness I'm all for people being entitled to their opinion, but this isn't just that. This is trying to sewer a player's career because he doesn't agree with management. Think about it from Hunt's perspective. This fanbase/media has run enough players out over the years. This has a direct negative effect on the team, and the players shouldn't be subjected to this nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, maybe send Hunt the message that his defensive play is unacceptable and he needs to either learn how to play defence or request a trade to a team where playing like trash in his own end is acceptable. He simply can't be allowed to disgrace the franchise without someone saying something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 2 practices 1 game and he ready to go. that's not how players get injuries like groin tears but hey who cares about that he a slight upgrade to our BOTTOM PAIR. we have so much depth that a bottom pair dman is the difference. and we couldn’t cover him long enough to get him safely into game shape. It doesn’t matter who green plays because green is the problem. That’s why we get the same result regardless of how many changes to personnel get made. rush him in then act surprised when he gets injured. Brilliant. . 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knew what Hunt's capabilities were prior to being brought in. He's a depth D that should be primarily an injury fill in. If he's expected to play as a regular when everyone's healthy, that falls on management for bringing him in, and coaching for his deployment. Have some empathy for the player (for once). He'll do his best, even if it's less than the average bottom pair D. No need to make him feel worse for that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathbone plays his best game and was one of the better players last game........so he gets sent down Who is making these decisions? (rhetorical question) CDC is, complaining that Green isn't doing enough so here we go - he's making a roster change and yet people still complain... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Green did not understand what his capabilities are, but he still needs to stop playing like trash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
