You play/have played hockey, yes? So many twitter clip scouts obviously haven’t. They marvel at things like breakout passes (that pass he made a whole tweet about was a dime a (frank)ing dozen)

I’m sure this Draft Analyst guy has some kind of background in hockey, but he is a terrible scout. IMO.

This is not the same as JB and JB discussion at all, I have never been a fan of Green, it has been stated many times over the years he has been here.

Yes the team was winning in spite of him, it's called overachieving. The team has come back to earth and the isn't a good enough coach or coaching staff to correct this.

This team may be a bubble team, that is the hope for the season, but it will be in spite of Green.

It will be because Pettersson, Hughes, Horvat, Miller made it happen.

This is my opinion of the coach and you may not agree, and that's all well and good. But I get to express my opinions on an inept coach the same way you express your dislike over Eriksson

- Makita


I find it to be quite the same logic as the JB and JB draft argument:

If the player is a draft success, it’s Brackett. If they’re a failure, it’s Benning.

If the team is winning, it’s the players. If they’re losing, it’s Green.

There’s no in between or share on either side.

But ya, don’t mind your hate for him, just think it’s a bit over the top. But we can move on 👌

You must have missed the NHL game last night where professional NHL players couldn't make a break out pass or string together two passes in a row to say a life.

Good example... and the equivalent would be if I took the one play that looked polished from the game & made a twitter clip drooling over it.

Read a "hands of stone comment" on Pod recently. Can't say I disagree with the few games I've seen so far.

& this pass actually deserves a clip. Elite creative play that led directly to a goal. A pass Pod couldn’t/wouldn’t make in a million years.

No offence dude but talking to you about prospects lately hasn't been a conversation, it's been your right and EVERYONE else is wrong.

Literally anyone that has a different opinion than you. Daniel Gee, Steve, Button, Cosentino

I don't know who you are but it's time to just face facts you are as good as the rest of the amateur scouts out there.

Listening to you tell everyone how they aren't as good as you is getting to be a bit much.

I could never be offended by your opinion. The fact that you’re so easily offended by mine says a ton. Do you bro

Which system will the coaching staff employ tonight? The take lots of penalties and then trade chances late in the game when trying to come back, or build an early lead and then lock it down and hang on for dear life?

In-game decision, depends on their effort level and legs.

Sorry Codes but I might have to change my location because this was totally worth back-reading for:

Who ever said your opinion didn't matter, I sure didn't. Perfect example of trolls coming after and twisting things into things they aren't.
Codes I've noticed you to be negative lately, never really been like you. Everything ok?

Not usually one for predictions but I'd go with 5-2 Jets. Tired legs against a fast forward group, no Tanev, rookie backup in net... I think reality is coming for the Canucks after a fairly easy October

ive come to the realization that i won't be placing in the top half of this pool, so either I have fun with it and try and acquire all the Canucks I can, or I ship off the ones that I have and try and make something of it.

Make the trade Lefty. you know you want Quinn Hughes and Horvat.

That seems a bit... hyperbolic.

I don’t think he played as long as he did in the NHL, then coach through the WHL and AHL to the NHL with literally zero idea about any of that. Don’t like him? Sure, whatever. But that’s a stretch.

As for preparing a team, wasn’t everyone complimenting the team a week ago when they were constantly flying out of the gates? It’s like the JB argument: if it’s something positive, it’s someone else who’s worthy of the praise; if it’s negative, it’s his fault.

- NewYorkNuck

This is dead on, well put.

It's funny how polar these topics can be on here. Sometimes it reminds me of going to a game.
some player dumps the puck in the corner or shoots super wide of the net and there will always be those couple of fans going "owwwww it almost went in!" It's like that here sometimes

Kaaptan used it in this thread with Makita too.

I guess the guys who live on the Island are just angry

but don't change your description from what it is now, I am proud of that saying.
