Travis Green [Head Coach]

[Gil Gunderson]

He’a unironically less intelligent about hockey than a message board poster.

Yet he makes far more money than you. How does that make you feel?

Staios is the only one that can stop green. Make sure Highmore, Gaudette, and Hamonic aren't on the roster. Get better depth, even if it's gambles via lateral swaps.

Advanced stats match the eye test on this one.

Shame Green can't see it.

How can he see when he's got Hamonics smegma smeared all over his eyes

 

[Hale The Villain]

Another crazy stat:

Gaudette only has 3 goals and 5 points in his last 39 games

And despite going on a massive cold streak in the second half of the season he's still got an unsustainably high shooting percentage at 19.8%, suggesting he's lucky to even have amount of goals and points he has now at this point in the year.

Yet he hasn't been sat once. Gets to plod around the ice game after game accomplishing nothing.

Where is the accountability?

I have been impressed with Green in general, but his handling of Hamonic and Gaudette in particular are the 2 biggest disappointments. Forsberg starting yesterday was a mistake imo and it guaranteed he gets 2 of 4 with a back to back this weekend.

I've even stuck up for Hamonic at times, but he plays way too much and shouldn't be in when at full health. Not even giving the guy a chance to succeed by putting him in a role he can't handle anymore.

I don't really gaf about the Jack Adams or if Green gets votes but I think he's done a great job overall. The transformation of the team has been excellent. He gets a good share of credit along with Staios for that.

I don't like the Gaudette, Hamonic choices as much as anyone but .. Gaudette helped early on with some goals and Hamonic is a vet D that plays hard if not well. I understand the choice early in the season with rookie Kleven coming in .. he maybe was too loyal to these guys. Neither should be here next year.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Playing the same line-up in Pittsburgh after less than 24hrs with Brady barely functioning and Gaudette stapled to the bench was incredibly dumb.

Not the first time Brady was not as good on a back to back.
Gaudette is a sore thumb

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

It's not like they had a ton of options. Who did they call up? Crookshank? Don't think that's affecting their fortunes yesterday.

 

[BigRig4]

Who decides the call-ups generally? Is it the GM or the coaching staff?

Green's undoubtedly been a net positive addition, despite his favoratism and questionable roster decisions.

Definitely not a Jack Adams candidate though. For him to be considered the coach of the year while being at the head of a wildcard team, that would imply our roster is bad and he's squeezing everything he can possibly get out of it, when in reality on paper this team is absolutely a playoff team and we're basically meeting expectations this year rather than handily exceeding them.

 

[Senator Stanley]

He's overused Hamonic and he's stuck with Highmore and Gaudette for too long, but if those are your biggest complaints about a coach, you have it pretty good. I was a skeptic when he was hired, but overall I think Green has done a great job this year.

Remember how everyone wanted Roy instead of Green? Looks like we dodged a bullet after all.

Islanders' Roy blasts Duclair after loss to Lightning: 'God-awful'

It's safe to say that New York Islanders forward Anthony Duclair is going to have to work himself out of his coach's dog house.

Can you imagine having this guy? Way too emotional and hot headed, especially for a young team. What a train wreck. We needed someone with a patient, even keel approach like Green has given us.

Duclair has indeed been god awful for them.

Another horrible signing from Lamoreillo. Don't blame Roy for being frustrated with Duclair one bit.

I agree. Dorion also dodged a bullet when he refused to sign Duclair at his ridiculous demands.

Wasn't Roy off the table before Green became a serious option?
I remember a lot of Hockeydb analysis on not wanting Green.. and some of those people refuse to let go of that

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Yeah Duclair is garbo

 

[BondraTime]

Green has been great.

Has made some kind numbingly dumb lineup decisions, but you can say that about every coach at times.
