That’s signs of a flawed and bad team. Exactly. Nothing more disgusting than playing when it's over. You see some stats where guys score 20 goals...all in 4-1 games. Other guys score 20 goals in 2-2 games. I know who I like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
404error Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Well, we were fighting uphill after Green burying us in the first 25 games so while it sucks that the playoffs are likely off the menu it was still great to see Miller step it up and Petey turn it around. Hopefully Allvin and Rutherford make the right moves in the offseason and we come back next year ready to compete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Horvat went down it was over. Bitter end but a better future. Demko became extremely average the past month and a half. He was so dialed in too. He went from being mindless to second guessing everything. Positioning went from an A+ to a B- so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same players and they all of a sudden decide to start to play after 25 games. I am tired of bad starts and that’s on leadership. We need more that won’t accept losing. No, their systems completely changed after Bruce go in. Their entire structure and the way they worked together changed. They were a total clusterfk under Green, total amateur discombobulated mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quattrobaj Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Canucks with just 4 shots vs. 15 shots by Minny on net in the 3rd period... they deserved their fate tonight the way they played that 3rd period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still proud of this team and don't want a tear-down. I want a defense rebuild and don't care how we get it. Truth is I've given it no thought and don't see a way we can keep both Miller and Boeser next season and one of them could garner a top 4 dman.

I see people defending Myers, but hes a tire fire under pressure. Bruce's system emphasizes offence and forecheck but if the other team is good and they carry the play Myers melts....i know hes a plus player but man when the other team play pressure offence hes awful.

Popular Post fanfor42 Posted April 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2022 Terrible first 25 games ALL on Green. What an absolutely terrible coach he was. Awful. People wanted him gone for 2 years before he was finally fired. Thank god that chapter is over. Boudreau has been fantastic. He will be back. He has turned around the seasons of almost every player on the team. That won't go unnoticed. Just look at Petey's stats under Boudreau vs Green. Next year we will clinch the playoffs with 10 games to go! 1 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS-Kev Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Tough one. A few random thoughts - Petterson stepped up in this one. In high pressure situations I find he excels. Something I am hopeful for in the future. - Playing Demko after the Ottawa game was a mistake IMO. - No matter how you boil it down, in big game situations I find that Myers is a weak link that opposing teams have learned how to expose through game planning. - While the referees didn't overwhelm the game, we only had one powerplay as one of our players was practically bleeding out. Beyond that, the calls were weighted one way. IMO, the NHL needs to display more clarity and accountability for refereeing. The MLB does an excellent job of this with umpires who cannot adhere to the strike zone. While I am disappointed, I am still proud of the team for bouncing back to deficits in this game twice. I wanted to see what they could do in the playoffs. We have suffered too many years of not being in the mix. I hope this is the last.

Darkstar Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hughes, Schenn, and OEL should be the only three defensemen back next season. Dickinson shouldn't even be in the lineup at this point. Trade him or even buy him out in the offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxNaslundxX Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Even though we did not make it. We did so much better than I expected. I had completely given up hope of winning hockey games in November. Although, I had high hopes last summer and thought we would be 8th-12th in the league. I just feel disappointed because I believe we are better than our record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it say when players all of a sudden start to play to their potential? Tells me that the players just weren’t putting the effort in. Green had them playing chicken $&!# perimeter hockey 100% of the time. Afraid to lose. He's a junior coach and will never be more than that.
