DeNiro Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 15 minutes ago, -Vintage Canuck- said: I feel like that’s the last and most important lesson for this team. They need to start setting the pace and taking it to the other team. Don’t sit back and let the game come to them. They did way too much of that under Green. A strong first sets the tone for the rest of the game. When they start the way they did against the Isles they look like the worst team in the league. When they play like they did in the second they look like an elite team. Need to start right out of the gate like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I can handle the loss to NY if we beat the Leafs. We win the week and hopefully put a streak together. Feeling like this game is pretty important tomorrow if we are gonna give ourselves a chance here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) So, JD back to centering a line?(as per BB's presser)..Interesting, guess flanked by Tanner & CG. Then you got the younger 'grit' line. I like that Bruce adjusts his lines according to what we're facing Miller - Bo - Boeser Hoglander - EP - Podz Pearson - JD - Garland Motte - Lammikko - Chiasson edit: Also guess they wanna keep that top line away from the speed/skill of Matthews, Marner & Nylander?

Ghostsof1915 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I think it's hilarious how Bruce plays dumb with the media. When you know damn well he is fully aware of the situation. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game is 60 not 40. It's been done to many times. Islanders also took their foot of the gas with such a huge lead then they even got another one. Nice to try and look at the positives but that game just sucked. Maybe on Saturday they'll play some their best hockey for 60 but the Leafs just dropped one to the Flames on Thursday so we'll see 2 peeved off teams. Apparently Marky played lights out but we got Demko!.. Could go either way.... Go Canucks Go!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A below average team isn’t going to play 60 minutes a night on a consistent level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might see it as a below average team so 40 min rather than a full 60 sometimes is expected and understood. I might see it as an above average team (playoff calibre) under BB so I see lack of consistency as a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the team is the problem and not the coach? Something was wrong, and it still remains wrong. Is it fitness? A lack of a certain type of player/attitude? Too small? Play too small? Too many players waiting to see how others will play before deciding to get in the game? something was and something is, still wrong. Except it was always TGs fault when the team started slow. BB's interview post game was great. He placed the responsibility for being prepared squarely at the players feet. When TG did that he was throwing the players under the bus and was a terrible human being... I'm certainly not saying that TG shouldn't have been fired, but he wasn't the joke of a coach that some say he was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter what the roster is; he's a joke of a coach. Just to put this into perspective, the Canucks only had 8 wins when TG got canned this entire season. Using the same roster, BB matched this number in a week. Starting slow, which is a TG trademark btw, is the reason why this team is still catching up in the standings. This team lost so much under TG that the season looks like it's almost impossible to recover from it. Edited February 12, 2022 by Dazzle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team lost so much under TG that the season looks like it's almost impossible to recover from it. I wasn't talking about the slow start to the season, I was talking about their slow start to many games. TG lost the room, and he certainly was struggling and should have been fired at least 10 games sooner than he was so yes it was his fault they are in such a hole but it was also management's fault for not pulling the trigger sooner. The team wasn't as bad as they were playing under TG, but they're also not as good as the hot streak they started on with BB. I would say that the team we see at the end of the season will be somewhere between the TG team at the time of his ouster and the BB team after his first 10 games or so which will probably be a playoff bubble team.

I don't know if he wants to stay or not. But I do know what UFA offers to the players, especially the first line player like Miller. I would want to hit the market to see what I'm worth and choose from the best available option. The only way to prevent this from happening is to overpay him. But overpaying Miller would not be a smart thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
