nuck-lifer Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Can't be too upset with the players when the system they don't believe in is failing. I haven't seen a player interview that has said they believed in it, just that they're working hard to try make it work. You would think that this is their cry for help needing a change 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michkov would be a hell of a consolation prize the following year as well. He has shades of Ovechkin/Kovalchuk in his game. Explosive skater who can hit when he gets mad and can rip the puck. As long as he doesn't sulk and isn't a huge defensive liability lot to like there. Still can gain weight and get even stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before there was actually optimism, now this team just looks broken. Agreed. You couple that with the fact that it looks like we are heading for some other version of a rebuild and it’s going to make enticing an experienced coach even harder.

Still an upgrade over the upgrade over the unqualified baboons currently destroying the team with their incompetent coaching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I could see us go on a short winning streak (provided Demko gets all the starts in this streak) which will only give a false impression on the state of the club. I clearly don't want the team to ever lose but something really needs to be fixed. Edited November 25, 2021 by NewbieCanuckFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 There’s a reason that Edler who said he wanted to retire a Canuck left the team, he knows something rotten in there. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad coaching has, however, destroyed Petey's confidence. It's likely he'll rebound once we hire an actual coach instead of Green and his clown college companions. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sockeye Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 We can change the coach but this team, as constructed, has no chance of making the playoffs. Weak defensively, weak on the boards, lack of grit and slow. Blow it up. It’s well overdue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Schmidt. I don’t think it’s rotten. It’s just poorly coached and led. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too late and it was obvious a month ago with the eye test and crap decisions coming out of preseason. Unreal, ffnm unreal. I said it before, he should've been fired after our first long homestand when the season could still be salvaged. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 34 minutes ago, cocanuck said: So tied of green blaming effort and young guys finding their game as reasons for playing so poorly. US broadcast pointed out so many mistakes canucks defenders made. Eg. Myers playing goal not using his reach being 6’7 or pressuring puck in any way. Boudreau was very critical of structure not effort. ( not saying we need boudreau ) but at least there were instances instead of effort excuses by green Structure isn't in Green's system but it sure as he'll is in Boudreau's and Sutter's. There's a lesson in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
