Portland was a power house and he took them to memorial cup. Being assistant coach with NJ Devils with power house team will only benefit his future NHL coach job.. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes against everything the media was saying at the time about how highly regarded Green was around the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzukes Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Where are the jokers who said he'd never coach again? I like Greener and hope gets back. I still remember some of the fans going hard on Green when it became blatantly obvious the problem was the players. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I'm not talking about you. Yet, haha. Just joking. If he does well he'll probably fins himself a job. It's hard to criticize a coach when the team is absolute rubbish. Also hard to evaluate when you're not even at the practices or in the room and watching games on tv. Without being there I find the notion of coach bashing kind of silly to be honest. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure would be fun to see the matchup 5 times a year or whatever. To beat him and hear "that's a good team over there", would be priceless.

Lol ... and then he not only gets hired again but goes on to win the Jack Adams. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) I don't think he was a bad coach overall. He just evidently overextended his welcome. I understand why fans would think he was terrible overall, but perhaps those fans forget that the 1st couple of years people actually liked him as a coach here. I would actually more blame Benning practically hanging onto Green as coach for dear life more than I would blame Green himself.

Travis Green has an even worse winning % with us than Willie D. Green seemed like a good guy, as did Willie D. But both weren’t good coaches.
