It's bloody embarrassing. He skates like a newborn  fawn learning to walk. 

He stands around bracing for a hit whether it comes or not.

I look at all the draws they lost on the PK tonight. It seemed pretty bad.

 

 Which gets me thinking… wasn’t Dickinson brought here to be a defensive specialist… a beagle /sutter replacemnet…

 

he’s flying under the radar imho .. he looks invisible to me 

Dick is a better winger than a C IMO.

it is no better

 

Chaisson

Lammikko

Dickinson

 

We have Myers playing 20+ a night, and Schenn playing

 

this team is not a threat most nights. With minimal secondary scoring we are too easy to play against.

 

Said it last year, and have said it this year....this team is not very good. 

If you only focusing on those players, then yes we are really bad.

 

Seriously with Miller, Boeser, Horvat, Hoglander, Garland and Podkolzin, we really should not be that bad.

[J-23]

Park Myers in front of the net on the PP. &^@# it.
 

Byfuglien used to always be parked in front of Lu.

Difference between a good leader and a bad one.

 

A good leader never points fingers and says “they”.

 

You wonder why this team comes out flat, lacks confidence for long stretches, and looks confused when attacking and defending? 
 

Comes down to leadership on the bench 100%. A good leader will get his team fired up before every game, boost his teams confidence through pushing the right buttons, and work his team hard in practice and make sure everyone buys into the system so there’s no confusion.

 

Green is not a leader. We need proper leadership.

 

Green has no clue that his system sucks. 

Guaranteed here's the notes for next practice:
- Move less
- Shoot from further out
- Dump the puck in and go off on a line change so I can try out more new lineups

It's sadly ironic that off the Sedin-Sedin-King line, King is the one who ends up coaching here. 

How did they land on King as the guy to replace Brown…

 

Say what you want about Brown but at least he had a resume.

 

What’s the deal with management giving such important positions to guys with no experience? This one is 100% on Benning for approving an inexperienced coach (again). The results should be surprising nobody.

Was at the game tonight

 

The goods:

 

1) Demko literally stands on his head all game long. He makes hard saves look like routine. 

 

2) Hoglander was hungry in every puck battle. Its amazing how tenacious he is. 

 

3) OEL is just steady as a rock. Nothing seems to faze him. He is our most dependent ndable player across the board. 

 

Bads:

 

1) Chiasson camt stickhandle to save his life. No poise with the puck

 

2) PP still way too stagnant. Differemt players but same old process. 

 

3) my gosh can we win a damn faceoff? Seriously not a single guy seemed like they could win one. Not sure how you can call yourself a center. Frankly it was the lost faceoffs that killed our special teams. 

 

4) Pettersson straight up needs to show up now. The patience and excuses have run out. It simply isnt good enough. I know there is a balance of maintaining his confidence but he needs to be held accountable here. Bobbled pucks, passes to nowhere, continuously falling down doeant cut it at this level. 

 

5) how is it that the PP gave up more chances then created tonight??? 

Post of the day without doubt.  A perfect summary of the game - well done.  Please ensure this is forwarded to the Canucks coaching staff in time for tomorrows practice.

Bang on my friend. I liked Petey tonight. The battle level was there. I particularly liked it when he was battling in front of the net on the Boeser goal. If we get scored on every time we take a penalty and can’t do anything on the PP. That’s the TEAM. And the TEAM is directed by the COACHES

I feel like some people either didn't watch the game and are just stat watching or are exclusively gauging Petey's play on the PP (where he admittedly looks pretty atrocious) while ignoring how he looked 5v5.

 

With this game in particular there's a huge discrepancy between how the team looked 5v5 vs on special teams, which tells me the biggest issue is coaching.

Details are really lacking, frustrating to watch.

 

We know there's quite a bit of talent on this roster but they shoot themselves in the foot.

 

Horrible passes, bad decisions in general, lost battles and some glaring lack of effort/attention on the backcheck.

 

Powerplay might be able to do something if 2 out of every 3 passes weren't in a guy's feet allowing the entire PK + goalie to shift over in the second it takes the receiver to gain proper control of the puck.

 

Can we please get an NHL coach to give this roster a chance?

Many many of us watched this game. And every other game.

 

petey looks like crap.

I dont think so - its still Baumgartner. Shaw advises on all areas except goaltending. But its Baumers PK and King's PP. 

Yeah, you are right. - this quote from the  Province article on his hiring...

 

Nolan Baumgartner will continue to work with defencemen and run the penalty kill but Shaw won’t be far away for some sage advice while helping direct forwards and the power play

If only we could kidnap D. Sutter. That guy knows how to coach a TEAM.

Need to get the Twins insight into the PP. Those guys knew how to move the puck around to create opportunities, exactly what we aren't doing now.

Mcdavids base salary is like 1 million dollars.. Petterson base is like 3m dollars.. 

 

Should let petterson watch mcdavid. Wanna get paid play like this...

This team needs to be put through some rigorous practice sessions on days off, until they puke and are crawling off the ice.

These results are unacceptable for this team. If they can't get their act together by the end of November then someone needs to be shown the door. Flip a coin, Green or Benning at this point. This team should be wayyyyyyyy more competitive. Good grief.

You can run the team to the ground at practice all you want, we still would have the worst PP and PK. Practicing the wrong way all the time.

Everytime I watch Petey I feel like even if he doesn't get knocked down, he will somehow eventually stumble and fall on his own. You technically don't even need to defend very hard against him these days. Pretty much just breathe in his direction and he'll fall over.

He’s too young to lack confidence this badly.

 

Hes reminding me of Naslund in his later years here (the one one that overskated the puck in the shootout).

 

Again that comes down to coaching. A good veteran coach will find a way to boost his young stars confidence. I feel like Green probably doesn’t even talk to him one on one.

5v5 he looked fine. Got some good chances earlier in the game, drew a penalty, and generally looked far more engaged than he did earlier. He also did come good work in front of the net when Boeser scored his goal. 

 

Also, a lot of people here are overrating how Petey generally looks even when he's collecting points. Outside of his first season, he hasnt really been the type of player to completely take over a game or carry the play. Y'all got yourself fooled into thinking he's a different player than he is.

Yeah.. hard to get better when the worst PP unit is practicing against the worst PK unit
