I think he probably meant 7.1… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant not replace him. That would put too much on Boudreau and a rookie assistant. If they’re canning Yeo they 100% already have a replacement lined up. Someone like Niedermeyer who’s available.

Fixing the problems caused by this worthless piece of **** is already putting too much on the coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Tiger Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I'm loving the offense. Makes things much more exciting. Hating the fact it goes along with letting in the most goals possible as well lol. Perfect storm for a 11-16th pick and no playoffs. At least EP is insane. We better not fumble him. We should be like SJ and say everyone is fair game except 1 guy ( hertl ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the old players coming into coaching now have the right idea's for today's NHL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres this weird petey captn America fantasy on this board where ppl think hes capable of winning on his own. Miller, boeser, garland can go, but bo needs to stay. Fair enough but the entire point of my post is that Mgmt needs to build a more balanced team so that EP doesn't have to do it alone (not just points but overall effort and compete level as well). In my view, they need to move out Bo to allow real change to happen. We all like Bo as a player but the accountability on this team is horrible and Bo is the leader of that complacency. Ultimately, the team needs to remake the second line, restructure the D (including finding a defensive stalwart for QH, and find a strong third line center). The team will be much more balanced then and EP won't have to do it all alone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 2 hours ago, aGENT said: No we haven't. We've barely been getting lucky OT wins against bottom of the barrel teams and have been absolutely buried by playoff teams that actually have talent and play with structure. We had two games where we played relatively well against the Knights and a hobbled Avs team. That's it. Two games. This entire season. Not winning hockey. Wins are wins and loses are loses. The Canucks were in a deep hole as a result of playing the worst hockey in probably their history. They are now “average” in points being at .500. This come back was completed in early December and that is a huge accomplishment from where we were. Sit back and enjoy the ride. The defence is questionable but this offence is on steroids. It is fun hockey that is actually getting results. Just imagine if this team can figure out the defence and got solid goaltending. It would be an elite contender. Time will tell if they can improve even further. It’s in their hands. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Yeo without replacement and a lot of problems go away. Is there anybody in the world without coaching issues that isn't a slimy piece of vermin? Have you actually been there with them in any type of coaching decision, did you get coached by them, or is this something you're capable of gleaning through your tv screen? Maybe the modern day Mother Theresa would meet your lofty moral compass? They might not know hockey as much but that's not important really.
