Sheesh, it's not easy being Green. Even when he wins, he loses.

Yeah. Green's got his deficiencies. But give the man credit for when he wins. It's a team game, that means that the coach has a part in winning the game just as much as the players do, and when they lose, the coach has as much to blame as the players do. I'm just glad they won tonight. A relief.

We weren't ridiculously bad on special teams either though.  According to expected goals we had a much more potent pp than the Rangers.  The one pp goal by the rangers was a complete fluke off the stick.  The second was the only high danger scoring chance the Canucks allowed on their PK outside of the Demko sequence.  Take out that one sprawling sequence by Demko, we had a higher expected goals on our last power play alone than the Rangers had on their first 4 power plays combined.

We were Rindiculous

Have a look at what the sedins and naslund were producing at his age. That would be a fairer comparison.  Also at his age they were never tasked with being the primary offensive threat on a first line. 

The Sedins and Naslund were 4th liners at league minimum at his age, and they still didn't play as bad as his first 10 this season. Admittedly they didn't get as much ice time to play awful in.

kinda surprised about that considering that they're both RHD. And neither of them have played a ton. Hamonic just got back, and Schenn has been only in a few games this season so far. Glad it worked, though.

 

Old school, physical defending. It was good to see.

What a load of garbage. On a good team, he would have two star veterans around him. But he's supposed to be one of the veteran stars already. What a joke

Not sure if this is obvious but Myers is a train wrecked in the PK cause of his inability to clear the zone.  Prior, to Demko doing an impression of Hasek he had a chance to clear the zone but ( as usual) he flubbed on his clearing attempt. 

 

If the staff has any sense, they should practice clearing the zone with a full court press pressuring the puck carrier - especially, Myers.

Think they should keep Garland on the top line.

 

Miller EP Garland.

Pearson Bo Boeser

Podz Dickinson Hogz

Bailey Lammikko Chiasson 

 

Keep the D pairing the same.

was that the line up for tonight's game against the Rangers? 

 

I like that third line. Podkolzin and Höglander have some chemsitry it seems off the ice. You think maybe it translates onto the ice.

He didn’t win $&!#. He was a passenger in this win train. 
 

The team won on their own effort. Particularly Demko, Miller, Podz and several others who upped their play individually. 
 

Green was his usual blender/blunder self. 
 

Green deserves no praise or credit for this win.

 

Edit- And Garland! How could I have forgotten to mention probably our best forward tonight. :picard:

Miller and Garland showed up....the rest of that top six needs to get a grip here. Horvat, Boeser, and Pettersson really need to start playing more consistently.

 

Demko again showing Vezina quality goaltending. If his effort doesn't create a desire to give it your all, im not sure what else will. His level of goaltending is giving me Luongo vibes the way he restores your faith in the team.

Yeah whatever Green does, he better keep Garland with Miller.  I don't even care now how long it takes Elias, Boeser and Horvat to get going here.  

Our defense is playing well and we have Hoglander, Podkolzin and Bailey who are keeping their heads above water.

His stick might be too long.
