Laoag Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Anyone else annoyed that this team is literally being ran by some rich egotistical wanker that has zero hockey experience? Boureau is an Aquaman hire, plain and simple. Green gone, Benning gone... its going to stay the same. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coconuts Posted December 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2021 5 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Lets become a team that can win in the regular season first. Then we can worry about playoffs. Boudreau was the best coach available for how our roster is currently built. He should at the very least spark our forwards. The D on the other hand will be a work in progress. Bruce's playoff record is honestly the most baffling criticism I've come across on CDC, considering we've made the playoffs twice in what.. eight years? Worry about getting to the dance first, we don't resemble contenders and that shouldn't even remotely be the expectation. That kind of turnaround simply isn't realistic. Boudreau teams make the playoffs, at this point I'd take that. It's not about lowering the bar as a fan, it's about having realistic expectations. People have the same criticism for Trotz before he won, that's sports. Some of the greatest coaches never win it all, but that doesn't mean they were $&!# coaches. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyLow_ Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Thank &^@#. No more boring hockey. I don't think Boudreau is the answer long term, but at least he coaches entertaining hockey. I'll sure as sh*t take that right now. Baumer can go work at Burger King for all I care. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torts had no business coaching the type of team that had been built in Van. Boudreau on the other hand has had success with rosters built more like ours. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what Aqua should've hired instead of extending on Green who has proven so little with the amount of coaching he's had. Green honestly doesn't hold a candle to what Boudreau brings to the table. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least this will tell us once and for all if it was the coach or something bigger needs to be changed with the players. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked his discussion on what speed without size can do though. When asked about Canucks, he said he was watching the team, just in case someone calls. This was posted Nov 24. Pretty good watch! We also have smurfs... with no speed though. Uh oh.... Also tells us we didn't start a coach search until recently.. after 24/NOV.

BarnBurner Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Everything was, and continued to be stagnant. There was no progression. Clearly Green and his accomplices are guilty as charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to have been talking to him by then. Probably did not want to say anything, stir the pot up with media. Same goes for at the time he had that 650 interview. That interview felt like he already knew he was getting the job now looking back at it. Edited December 6, 2021 by J-23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all interim imo. Captain Frank couldn't have the chanting any longer. These guys were going anyways, let's cut them loose, hire a coach and let Gear and Johnston mind the store in the mean time. Buys them some time to make the real decisions. Oh brother!

DeNiro Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Kinda wondering how the roles will work now. Like does Shaw take full control over the defense and penalty kill? Would Walker not be in charge of the D now? Who does that leave to run the powerplay (which also needs improvement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
