Hopefully fans show up at the airport to run Green out of town if he's allowed to fly back. Ship that loser's personal items to him and don't let him ever set foot in our dressing room again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the 20 best to ever play. Forsberg was nuts, but I'm not even sure I'd give him pure skill over Sakic. Sakic was something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Watching Gadj lock horns with Lowry leaves a hole in the soul. Looking more like Green has trashed this team, removing the backbone. Had wanted a team with that kid Gadj, big Nik & Big Mac. Tired of Cinderellas being pushed around. About a yr back, figured that was the plan? Thought we were finally goin with YOUTH?!?!!! Might need a lengthy break from this clown-show..appears JB & TG have concocted a dog's breaky... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Foresberg was way better than Sakic. He played the game tough and was skilled. Much better and way more complete player. Little Joe can suck an egg. Edited November 14, 2021 by Alflives 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude stepped up big when it counted, at every level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 ITT we discuss late 90's/early 2000's hockey legends Speaking of which, Iginla was really classy when asked about the Hart and Stanley cup earlier I hate the Flames, but I could never hate him, he's everything I've ever wanted in a Canuck player 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJC Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) 31 minutes ago, Junkyard Dog said: We just have to be weary of the possibility if nothing changes. That way if we do need to do a soft rebuild we can move them out and get a good return. It would suck but losing them for nothing would suck on a whole other level. IMO this is would be the final straw/last option though. Like I said a new coach definitely needs to be tried before we even consider this. Maybe closer to trade deadline we decide what direction we want to take this team which will be based off of what they're capable of till then. If Green is canned and Shaw made interim, the absolute first thing FA (not Benning, FA) should do is hold court with the players and find out what each player wants out of the next coaching staff. What they see as a best fit. I say FA should do that because he’s already a very involved owner, and if he wants to keep certain guys satisfied (like Bo - whom he wants to define the Canucks brand), he’s going to need straight up, unfiltered answers from the players themselves to determine and basically relay to the GM who or what to hire as an effective coaching staff. JB has had his run with it. FA has to protect his investment in the roster now. It’s a good one. More importantly, when the guy who signs your paycheque is asking you directly what this team needs, that immediately then puts the responsibility onto the players to perform post coaching change. There is no more excuse at that point. Right now, it seems as though everything has devolved into placing the majority of the problems on Green’s plate. I hear the players articulate post game, but hot air rises. Green’s taken his fair share of abuse, and rightfully so, but he’s also the scapegoat for some poor individual performances.

Devron Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Things are really getting spicy aren’t they. It’s kinda fun actually. What will happen next hmm. Brad Hunt with the hat trick tonight and Green sign an extension after the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
