King Heffy Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 1 minute ago, EmilyM said: If he doesn't like the coach, he needs to find it within himself to at least look like an NHL player. If you're upset or disagree with the coach and you play like that, you're not a professional hockey player. It's not that he's not trying, it's that he has absolutely zero confidence in himself right now. A coach as bad as Green is a cancer in the room for this very reason; he is causing permanent damage with his lack of professionalism and gross incompetence. For the good of our young core, Green needs to be removed by any means necessary. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLow_ Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Came home late, watched until it was 2-0, shut it off. Shane Wright please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 We all know that most of these players are skilled and demonstrated themselves as high level. As I mentioned earlier, this team is poorly coached and led. If I was the GM. I would fire the entire coaching staff and trade Bo. I would make Miller captain and consider trading Petey. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 48MPHSlapShot Posted November 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2021 At this point I think this team would struggle to stay .500 in the AHL. The fact that Green hasn't been fired yet is maddening. Day what you want about Willie D, but his team's at least managed to stay in the fight most nights (with a lot less talent to boot). Green might be the worst coach in the history of this franchise. 4 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDangles Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I can't believe how much of a coincidence it is that all the top 6 guys have somehow managed to regress, have no idea how to play a system, forgot how to protect the puck, forecheck and hit.... All at the same time... There simply cannot be another explanation right? It's just coincidence right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabid Rooster Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Perhaps, when we played above expectations in the bubble era, it wasn’t due to coaching. It takes time to set up systems even if they’re useless. That bubble gave the players an excuse not to listen to absurd coaching and instead do their own thing. Green just rode that momentum. Fire green and tell Shaw to let the players play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck-lifer Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 2 minutes ago, EmilyM said: The players do not get a free pass. Regardless of the systems, or lack thereof, the players are losing just about every 1-on-1 battle regardless of where it is on the ice. It's not systems that have made Pettersson absolutely unable to pass a single defender. I'm not defending the systems either. It's crap on top of crap. No excuses for the players. Not giving a free pass to them, just stating that when you're working in a toxic environment and one who has created this system with zero apparent support it's hard to rag on the players. The only exception is Pettersson who just seems to have given up. I mean Horvats great goal was an example of just doing it himself, in frustration without the system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 1 minute ago, King Heffy said: Main issue with him is similar to Podkolzin with his contract length. Decent chance he falls a few spots due to that, which would be awesome for us. Nemec would look good on the Canucks. He is the #1D in this draft. A RD that will become a two-way workhorse. He was playing for Slovakia on the Olympic qualifiers and helped secure them a spot at the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Bet by now Willie D's winning % is clearly better than Green's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 What I've learned about this crop of players is that Miller is probably the most accountable and best leader. Yet, he's probably the last guy to keep around give his contract status and the likelihood that this team needs to go through another rebuild. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead the preached "patience" as if Green hasnt been here for 5 years.. We've dug ourselves a huge hole that we wont be able to climb out of. Even a new management/coaching boost would screw us over a good draft pick. lose-lose situation all because the wouldn't fire Green early. Yip. I'm at the point, just keep Green, ride out the season, collect the pick, hire a veteran coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is on everyone in this organization. (Except Demko/Clark) He's not doing great, but keep in mind this is his first real slump and his coach is an AHL bum with character issues who's more concerned about gifting icetime to his pet plugs than about trying to win hockey games. Petey and the rest of the guys are being set up to fail by Green's continued employment. I don't see the harm in seeing how Petey does under a head coach who is actually qualified to coach in the NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Benning absolutely needs to go too, but right now the ire needs to be directed at Green. We're watching him destroy the talented players we have on our roster in real time. The damage he is doing cannot be overstated. Before we can cauterize the wound (fire Benning) we need to stop the bleeding (fire Green). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
