BCNate Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Huge win last night. Our D system is working. We had a pretty weak D group and still held our own. Being able to plug spare parts into a strong system is how teams great teams win games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Worst thing that can happen to the Canucks is a shortened season. That would all but eliminate any chance we have of getting into the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the most likely is tomorrow. Canucks haven't had any cases since Poolman's and King's most likely false positives. Leafs have two which could be more before the game tomorrow which might be the time they cancel if they suddenly have like 5-10. There's no reason why they cancel for the Leafs having two guys out and the Canucks having 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its starting to get ridiculous now with the number of players going into protocol and the games being postponed. It starts to mess with the integrity of the season at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League wide shutdown would make 0 sense. They shut down for 2-3 weeks and they get a couple weeks in getting back and boom players have Covid again. Frank Seravalli probably said it best on the morning show. Yes they'll keep postponing games, but logistically the NHL can't really shut down the league.

They need to take a pause and examine their protocols and start to look at the real possibility of going to a bubble format. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was ok for one playoffs, but that is it and would be a completely stupid overreaction which would possibly cause the league to fold. What they might reexamine in their protocols is what constitutes putting a player into covid protocol? If he is asymptomatic, should he be allowed to play? That might be something they change because this is not going away and forcing shutdowns as a completely kneejerk reaction could be the worst thing that this league could do at this point and I believe most of the NHL office knows this.

tan Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 with hindsight, if we hire BB 2 years earlier or never hired Green, we would be a much better team each and every year. Bruce indeed is a very experienced NHL level coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bubble format in more cities would work if it came down to it. I don’t think it will get to that point but it’s become more likely than it was at the start of the season. It is not an overreaction when player cases are spiralling out of control. You can’t have teams playing without half their roster. That completely destroys the integrity of the game. At this point the virus will shut down the season if the league doesn’t. We’re already seeing games being postponed every day now. That will only become more and more frequent until there will be no time to finish the season. If they pause now and implement new testing measures and new protocols they may be able to continue the season through the next wave. If they continue like this we’ll for sure see the season cancelled similar to the 2019-20 season. Edited December 17, 2021 by DeNiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce indeed is a very experienced NHL level coach. The lousy finish(& top-10 pick) helped facilitate the OEL, Garland acquisition. Also after being coached by a donkey, all Canucks skaters prob now feel like jockeys upon Seabiscuit, in his prime. We may's well accept the good w/the bad, & the team goes fwd with clear conscience... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake up His system was trash, his special teams were atrocious on both sides. His line deployment was puzzling. Look at the recent stats in quick ups and the major difference between the two coaches. Look at how BB keeps putting EP out for draws instead of hiding him from it by having Miller take the draws. Look at how hes using Dickinson entirely differently. Look at our pk units. Green was absolutely tanking this team. In the recent mic'd up with Miller, you can see how involved BB is on the PP giving players direction. Absolute nonsense for those that defend Green. Guys who actually played in the NHL contradict your take on Green and wadr their opinions hold way more water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in that case, I think they will schedule games during 2-week February buffer (no, they are not going to the Olympics) and implement expanded playoff berths like 2019-20 season. That would help the Canucks get to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also on JB for remaining status quo despite there being obvious deficiencies. The ball was dropped far beyond Green. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference I saw is that people were paid more and (sometimes) were respected more in the union jobs. I don't think being unionized changes a person's core work ethic. If a person is lazy, they will probably always be lazy and the same goes for the hardworking individual. I've also noticed that the unions have far less power than they once had. But once they pass probation, their protection for being lazy is greatly increased. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim did wait too long to fire Green for sure, but he had to do it due to Green's poor performance. Green is responsible for how his assistants coach, he can't escape that. It all lands squarely on Green. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
