Post-Game Talk: Bruins def. Canucks - 3-2 (Pearson, Garland)

[4Twenty]

Dude combing the beach to disparage the twins has been a Benning guy for years. Yikes.

 

[TruKnyte]

How much longer before enough is enough for the idiots in charge of this team?

 

[tantalum]

I got 2 agility lvls watching this game so there's a positive.

But you lost intelligence….

 

[wonton15]

Im convinced we won’t fire Benning or Green until the end of the season

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

At this rate, I say f*** it.

Don’t change a thing.

Keep f***ing losing.

Eventually change will be forced when everyone asks for a trade.

I want to see it burn.

If it’s not 2 more games and a plane ride back to Vancouver I’m done.

I don’t think the public is going to give them a choice at this point.

December.4th, a public firing of ownership/management/coaching.

Canucks fans will throw shit on the ice.

That was my feeling after seeing Benning and Green getting re-upped. All of this is deserved and none of it is un-expected despite what most people are saying.

How is management leaving management and coaching hung out to dry? What is going on here? Canadians went to the cup last year and are missing half their team and they make a change. This is unbelievable.

 

[4th line culture]

But Podkolzin was developed here and he looks great so whats your point...

Lol

The only thing I’m hopeful for right now is that they are doing the “classy” thing and not firing them on the road. Clearly that should have happened after the Anaheim game when they returned from the last road trip. But it didn’t because they don’t want to “rush into anything”.

Also played a lot of shit hockey and got the results they deserved.

But how can they keep facing the music... Are we up to 9 now?

That's the consensus. It's beyond maddening or sad.
It's just truly unbelievable, shocking and extremely confusing. Nobody can make sense of it

 

[tantalum]

"We've played some good hockey here and haven't got the results that we want"

You’ve played equally shitty hockey as the Jackets and Bruins. Even that’s debatable.

Sort of sums things up that this is considered good hockey….

I think back when Markstrom was here and all those games they won when they played like crap as well they may of not won if it wasn't for Markstrom.

Some very good individual efforts and maybe the Canucks were the best team overall. However, Boston was there to be had and isn't an especially good team right now and still the Canucks found a way to lose.

Good

Garland - seemed like he was out near every shift and on his effort should have been. Far and away our best forward. Funny two shortest players, Garland and Marchand, controlled a lot of this game

Motte - Canucks PK was excellent as long as he was out. Once he was off the thing fell drastically apart. Dynamo every where on the ice breaking up plays. Took a real pounding in this game and, of course, zero response from the team.

Hughes - did a good job of moving puck up from the back and had the PP working a little better. Get so use to him just getting the puck out of his zone smoothly that you take it for granted.

Bad

Dickinson - Garrett trying to build him up by saying he made a good play on the Garland goal. Fact was he was getting stripped of the puck but defenseman pushed it too far up the ice. He was horrible on the PK and you knew as soon as he was put out the team was in trouble. Too slow on the winning goal getting to the open man in front of the net. Terrible player, who in any ordinary situation (one where Benning get even more embarrassed) would be benched. Lammikko, as bad as he is, is better than Dickinson.

Burroughs - time to send him down and maybe try Woo. Is not an NHL player

Boeser - skating is God awful. Always staggering and reaching for the puck. Takes all he is got just to stay partially in the play.

Pettersson - it's all be said. Looks totally lost. Sometimes he looks like he is about to do something but then he stops in the middle of the play and does something dumb or useless. Bad forwards always end up getting driven into the corner by defensemen and that is where Pettersson ends up most of the time.

Others

Horvat - little better - ran out of gas in the third but more involved and better defensively. Provided some much needed toughness and this is a role he is going to have to take. He may want to play a finesse game where he leaves the rough stuff to others. But right now the Canucks don't have the 'others' (see Benning) and with him providing nothing much else he is going to have to provide that.

Myers - really hanging back. Given a completely defensive role. Trouble is that Myers isn't that good defensively and is best when he a can range around up and down ice. Poor planning has seen a lot of Canuck players cast in the wrong roles (see Benning)

Chaisson - getting more minutes and a bigger role on the team. All you need to know to understand how bad others have been and how pitiful the team is.

Evident now that all we can hope for is for more losses to facilitate a serious tank job, that somehow Benning isn't around to screw that up in trades or at the draft table and that old man Aqualini wakes up long enough to find Fredo a new toy to play with..

They don’t have “best penalty killers”. That much is clear at this point. I think they were also coming from a TV timeout so everyone should have been rested.

What’s insane is the constant trotting out of the same penalty killers who can’t get the job done. Burroughs was part of that mess early on and that’s he goes back to. It doesn’t even occur to this coaching staff to try other guys (forwards or D) simply because they don’t think they can do it. Not because they have any evidence to suggest they can’t.

totally agree. Green….your “penalty killers” aren’t getting the job done and haven’t for a number of months now, if not all season!

How about you coach some other players to do it you imbecile!?! You are a coach aren’t you? Quit rolling out the same fail squad time and time again. It’s friggin’ insanity!

If you're not winning there's no good hockey no matter what.

Sat was talking about potentially going like 3-1-1 on this road trip before it started as there were “winnable” games.

f*** off. The team is shite and there is no end in sight.

The media needs to grow a pair and start to rip into this team from top to bottom

 

[bbud]

Then make sure it bleeds them to point they need to sell fans need to boycott any merchandise and stop going owners are out of touch with its fanbase

This is the result of management team who simply looks at Ws or other very broad strokes like PP and PK. A management team who can’t be bothered to look at or understand underlying numbers. Remember those are just vitamins…

You do know the Aquilinis have pulled funding for anyone who have openly ripped the team right? and that im sure other sponsors that keep them alive will as well
