Pretty sure he is talking about the tournaments he has played in since being drafted.

If Miller isn't playing next game

Petey Horvat Boeser
Pearson Sutter Hoglander
Roussel Gaudette Virtanen
Zac Mac Beagle Motte

Please let me know how you'd like me to bill you for the dry cleaning I have to do since I threw up all over myself when I read that.

At the very least switch Sutter and Gaudette.

I think they need to cycle in some younger guys with speed. Bailey is big and fast, no? How is Michaelis? MacEwen hasn't shown any of that feistiness that put him on the team last year.

Why would you fly Miller out in a private jet and not play him is the better response

Agreed, don’t care if Podkolzin scores at all. Don’t be a liability and hammer some guys on the 4th line. I think we have overtaken the Leafs as the softest team in the league
- CanuckDon

Absolutely agree, although we cannot blame the coaching staff, not like AV telling them to turn the other cheek.

I would like to hear the media ask Green why the players constantly do fly-by's, is it because they aren't capable of it, or is it because they are instructed to avoid as much contact as possible?

Big and fast who can't control the puck, is lost in all 3 zones, that's really going to help the team.

That 2nd line is usually taking on tougher match ups, so you want to put the weakest defensive center in that position? Or you could play them at Gaudette's minutes 8 a game.

What sort of feistiness would you like to see out of MacEwen playing 7 minutes a game?

The media has been banging the drum hard about how appalling it is that the Canucks haven't given Green a new contract yet. They would need to do a 180 to ask about flaws in his system three games in.

It sn't just 3 games in though, they have been a non contact team for about a decade or so.

I agree with you but I don't think the media (who know everything )can admit to being wrong three games in.

For the record I am fine with waiting to see what other coaches are available in four months.

We have a slightly over used Lucic to toughen up the Canucks.
How about Virtanin and a 2nd for muscleman Looch?

Uh yeah got it.

Makita has been saying for a long time that Green is any good, I got on board about a 1.5 seasons ago.
Let's see how this plays out over the next couple months. If Green does get a contract soon, he will be around next season for sure, if he doesn't get one in the next couple months, then I would think they are looking at a coaching change.

You are funnier than that Nuckup fella.

Is there a reason why the Canucks thread gets all the funny guys?

Wait, are you talking about Virtanen? Or Bailey? Or MacEwen?

You've already gutted that second line by taking Bo out. The team is lacking offense, so why put Sutter with the rest of the top 6 forward who are actually making things happen? You've basically created a one line team.

I'd like him to hit someone, muck it up in the crease, get under some people's skin. Do you have to play 15 minutes a night to be noticeable?

You'd think lol. But goes to show you how missed he is and how important it is to get the split.

Special teams with JTM and practice will make the difference.

If one player makes the difference between winning and losing then you are not really close. IMO

I still think the slow start is because Petey and Quinn are struggling so far.

You are the one who dubbed Bailey "big and fast".

The top 6 hasn't scored in two games. You're worried about being a one line team? Team got shut out last game and you are worried about having one line that even scores.

Yes for sure that's the main reason. But JTM is also a catalyst for them and the team in how his influence gets them going. You are totally underestimating what JTM has meant to this group.

I miss JTM as much as the next guy but a player should be able to miss 4 games without a team folding.
