I mean, seeing him do it consistently or at least take over the game when it's crunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockeye Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) I’ve said this for the last few years (same as Ray Ferraro). I put most of the blame for our situation on Jim Benning. Average drafting, lousy trades and terrible Free Agency signings. We should have immediately gone full rebuild when the Sedins retired (if not sooner). Rumour has it that Trevor Linden wanted a rebuild (not a retool). This team, as constructed, will not make the playoffs and will not finish higher than the Kraken. Our D is not strong enough and our bottom 6 are lousy PKers and weak. At least Jay Beagle and Sutter could win face offs. We only have Miller and Horvat winning face offs. Should have traded Boeser for a top 2 D-man when his stock was high. I don’t know what is wrong with Petterson but he has been a big disappointment this year. No matter what coach we hire, this team is going nowhere. Time for the rebuild that we should have done 5 plus years ago.

And if Mac wasn’t checking off enough boxes, you’d think you’d waive him first and try to work with Gadj if you see him having more potential. Gadjovich isn't solving any problem, because: - he doesn't take faceoffs - he can't play on the PK - he doesn't generate offense Why would you want a player like Gadjovich on the team? Only because he can fight? That's by far not enough... ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidgoliath Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Miller tweaked his back with twist on that collision at the net with Kolesar. Would not be surprised if he misses the next game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter etc. I mean if Green is fired tomorrow, there are bunch of good NHL coaches off the top of my head and I probably didnt mention others like the former Tampa coach that introduced the 1-3-1 100% just do not get the love for a mediocre coach in Babcock.

Tinky-Winky Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 im sure twitter willl blow up after this game, something needs to be done, this team isnt going anywere, not sure if its coaching, or player chemistry, something needs to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Luck Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Canucks are garbage at this point. I hate to say it. The team on paper is pretty good but the results are absolute garbage. green and his dummies need to go (other than shaw and clark). Unfortunately, benning also needs to go as he has shown an inability to react and make change as needed to keep this team competitive. If we get that change, and the team still sucks, start thinking about who you trade (petey, miller, etc etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this before but he's the only head coach to lose two game 7 Cup Finals for different teams. With our luck, we'll get to the Finals with him as the head coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Well lets hope that coaching changes comes soon and can shake some life into the group as right now you gotta worry Rebuild 2.0 is just around the corner. Petey and Brock are looking like they will never find the form or consistency needed. Bo just doesn't seem to be able to tilt the balance of a game and rally the team when they need it, he is also a very streaky scorer and not exactly a defensive stalwart. D lacks bite and structure, which isn't all coaching, the Chaos Giraffe, Hunt, Burroughs, Rathbone - are all prone to gargantuan Defensive brain farts. Too many smaller 'skill players' with out enough skill to play a high tempo skill game and not enough strength to play a puck retrieval game. Team not looking like its built to succeed right now - now could a boost in form and structure of some of the key players help to turn that around - sure. There are a few really good pieces to like of course - but still looks like we could be following the Buffalo fail train out the station again soon... I don't know, its just depressing AF again this year. Think i'm gonna take a break for a while ( which usually means they'll heat up ! ) 8 years of suffering mostly terrible hockey and this is the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably try a new coach before we get to that point. Don't trade JT!! He's at $5M+ with one more season and he ain't even the problem!! How about trade BB instead as he's gonna be RFA at the end of the season looking for $7M?? I'd take 2 good prospects for him now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is why we fire Green and bump Shaw to interim. Id just clean house and get Ouija board and contact Pat Quinn. Cant be worse than whats going.

We're 15 games into the season and he still couldn't find his game. I am wondering how Pettersson spent the off-season. Did he spent most of time on beach and enjoyed the nightlive in swedish cities? Let's re-sign Hansen......maybe Naslund and Bure too...hey could it be worse then it is now LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
