That’s true leadership in a slump when the team is flat. meh i said horvat is not captain material couple weeks ago and ppl ripped me for it. apparently he leads by example by winning faceoff and putting up points when it's already irrelevant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ey40 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Don’t give me this is a moral victory, this kind of lost needs to cost someone’s job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 We are the softest, most perimeter team in the NHL. Bar none. Even worse, there is the identity of excuse making and big talk but no walk from Benning to Green to the players. Playing better isn’t enough. Not anymore. Win or stfu. Because they are right it’s not good enough. The trouble is they won’t do what it takes to make it good enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whcanuck Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) I’ll get a tiny bit of excitement after a win, like a small rush of positivity. Then the next game happens, and it’s right back to square one, happens pretty much every time. I would seriously consider shopping Boeser, and EP needs to be healthy scratched for a game or two. Their job is to score goals and points to contribute to wins, they’re flat out not doing their job. I don’t care if they’re “playing better” or “finding their game” or “gaining confidence.” PRODUCE TANGIBLE RESULTS! if I showed up to work every day and didn’t do my job? I’d be fired very quickly. I also earn about .0005 % of what these guys earn too Edited November 22, 2021 by whcanuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were starting to climb and at least made the playoffs that year. We’re in the same situation, but seem to still be falling down. This is definitely worse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieVedder Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) 57 minutes ago, EdgarM said: Fully agree , make the move before its too late Been saying this all along. Boeser has a quick release which can work well on the pp, but aside from that he isnt a skill player. Youll never see him handle and skate the puck the way you see Podz, hogz, or even garland do, and if he tries, he loses is. His skating is below average and gets worse each year. No one gets given more prime scoring opportunity than him, and for what he gets handed, he shows little. Hes a soft, one dimensional player and you cant have these types tying up your cap if you want to contend.

This coach is terrible and it is now wrecking our captain. Fire this terrible coach right now. Not one more day. Not one more game. Not one more excuse. Every single player green has had contact with re-gresses. He despises creativity, hates initiative & drive and beats the motivation out of every single player he's ever come into contact with until they are shells of their former selves and taught his failing ways. Name me one single players that has evolved in droves under green - just one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
