There's 31 other teams to cheer for if it bothers people that much. If I were shelling out billions of dollars, yiu can bet I'd be involved too If you were shelling out billions of dollars, I'd hope you'd get some spelling lessons.

-DLC- Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 23 minutes ago, D-Money said: The problem with that O-zone stat is that it can be heavily weighted by how much time a team is on the powerplay. The Canucks lead the league in powerplay opportunities, by a fairly wide margin. (Canucks have had 83, 2nd Avs with 77, 3rd 72, average is 64.) And their PP% is low, so the amount of time they have spent with an extra man on the ice more than anyone else is significant. That's a lot of "easy" O-zone time. The more telling stat there is how few quality offensive chances they are generating with all of that O-zone time. Oh for sure...I posted that with a grain of salt. But I'm honestly tired of hearing "garbage" used to describe our team. They've struggled for sure and it hasn't been good. But it hasn't been all bad and they're not "garbage".

They aren't struggling. They are exhausted by this coaching staff. When JT yells out in the middle of practice on year 5 of the coach "we don't know WTF you want us to do" the writing is on the wall. They win in spite of Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not withstanding your point about Green but… I believe it was Drance that posted that and he has already had to retract it when called out by JT for it being wrong and taken totally out of context.

They should definitely change the coach before making any major trades. Or any trades. A new set of eyes would be wise. Lockwood should be in this lineup. Soon ! Motte has made an enormous difference to special teams. Lockwood is a Motte in the making. Edited December 2, 2021 by appleboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Benning is indeed being handcuffed with not being able to make any trades than he sure as hell won’t be able to fire and hire another coach. Only scenario I can see is Green being canned and Shaw being given the interim tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you don't think the current team is quite "garbage", I'm sure almost all of us agree it is a fitting descriptor of the accumulation of the past 8 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only scenario I can see is Green being canned and Shaw being given the interim tag. That's been the rumor. Supposedly the Aquilini family (not just Francesco) has brought in an outside advisor who's worked with other major league sports teams (my apologies to whom initially mentioned this) to determine the best course of action for the team going forward. As well, there may be a switch of Aquilini at the helm of the team from Francesco to Roberto. It would make sense to put a freeze on any major moves right now, until things are figured out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that what the pitchfork mob complains about the most? Miller isn't coming back, should they get somety for him then?
