GDT: GAME #4: Canucks @ Flames again, this time with more Miller | 6:00 p.m. PST

[Nucker101]

Better get back to the drawing board on this disaster of a power play. I’d also like to see these guys pull off some non disrupted passes, nothing is ever clean.

I still don’t understand putting Brock in front of the net and letting the PK’ers cheat over to EP’s side since Miller can’t one time on the left side. Just a bizarre setup

 

[Johnny Canucker]

The Power Play is all passing too cute and not pulling the trigger. This can’t happened, it’s too tiring.

The only play they have is back to QH43, and his shot hits the net 10% of the time only

 

[Pip]

Still very early with no preseason but in a shortened season there really isn’t any time to dig yourself out of an early hole. Team needs to step it up big time

 

[canucksfan]

Not keeping Tanev looks like it is going to have a bigger impact than I thought. He was a great partner for Hughes.

 

[Zanon]

took a HUGE step back since last year. Losing Taney and MArkstrom.....was enourmous.

Nah

 

[cc]

Canucks are starting to look like the division punching bag

 

[Luck 6]

I don't think this is an outlier anymore.. just look at the Vegas series.. just overall sloppy passing and a lot of running around.

Ya, I think we need to switch our entire coaching staff. With that being said, is there anyone out there better?

 

[PavelBure10]

I would bag skate the hell out of this team, that sort of undisciplined hockey, combined with lack of care, and overall effort. I would skate them until they puke.

Embarrassing...

 

[CherryToke]

Habs are gonna bully them

 

[Oliewud]

0/17 to start the year on the powerplay.

Myers, Eriksson, Sutter, Beagle, Roussel, Baertschi = $25 million. I'm pretty sure these guys could all be replaced with AHL players with the same effect. No joke.

 

[Breakers]

Thank F^%< our 1st round pick transferred last year

Gallant looks like an NHL caliber coach at least and he knows Schmidt well

 

[David71]

What makes this even more crushing.. was seeing Chris Tanev coordinating the Flames Defense during that PP.

move on.

 

[iFan]

Green has to go! He had no answer for Vegas and let the team fade off, he’s doing the same thing this season. Green is over his head and doesn’t know how to turn this around. He may regretting not taking an extension sooner

this x100 lol

 

[canucksfan]

But Benning could trade it, especially if the team continues to suck.

you realize JB is trading it for 12 games of Olli Jokinen right?

 

[Pip]

Juolevi 7:55. Sure there were quite a few penalties but you simply cannot have him in the lineup if Green doesn’t trust him at all. Pits far too many minutes on Edler, Myers, Hamonic etc

 

[David71]

time for lineup changes wednesday. Loui in, baeschti in chatfield in.beagle out. olli out. rotate players

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here.

But here's how I see it: Benning is not in danger of being replace, not yet anyhow. It's not going to happen because drafting EP, QH, BB and the bubble playoff has bought him some time.

So, IMO, focus on what's achievable - a HC change.

Benning's time will come.

My point is changing the coach will not change the end result which is a better team.

I did the reasearch back when people people were calling for AVs head.

Everything I have been able o find on he subject pretty much says the same thing. Coaching changes dont really change team fortunes.


By all means hang Green at high noon at the corner of Granville and Robson for all I care.

It wont change the Canucks into a winner. It wont turn Meyers into a non lazy player. It wont magically release Mottes hidden skills

It will give fans the head that they want. It will meet fans emotional needs. But it wont change the end result.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

 

[Dab]

What in gods name is happening on the PP? AWFUL power play.

 

[Breakers]

you realize JB is trading it for 12 games of Olli Jokinen right?

Nope Brooks Orpik

 

[Hansen]

Owen Power Kent Johnson watch

We are all Wolverines

 

[krutovsdonut]

a terrible demoralizing loss. they made complete fools of themselves.

you cannot lose too many games like that without losing a coach.

 

[canuckking1]

Canucks look terrible. Pettersson looking like Markus Granlund hasn't helped
