Jeff Paterson: Coaches have run out of answers and Management has gone into hiding

[@CarharttCowboy]

I love how passionate Matt is about this

[@keureous]

Hate to say this, but the team has been on a downward trajectory since Petey got his fat contract. When players see his production collapse, how is that not a morale killer.

[@TheBlazersfan22]

And pettersson looked amazing when miller left. Anyway. If miller goes and pettersson become pettersson again. I am all for it. It is a high risk gamble. At same time. Majority of the blame is how terrible the defence is at puck moving , or playing high iq. If pettersson goes, and miller stays. We still have the potential toxic guy in the locker room for other dudes. Even if he plays good or not.

[@roundnround365]

@@TheBlazersfan22 Hughes has as many goals as 11.6. Six Canucks have more goals than 11.6. 11.6 ranked 142nd in goals scored amongst all NHL players. 11.6 ranked 112th in points scored amongst all NHL players. 11.6 scored a top-five NHL salary and his playoff performance sucked and continues to suck. The blame lays with Elias and it's time to grow up.

[@TheBlazersfan22]

Have you even looked at the defensive core point total for the canucks, and compared it to every other team? Hughes as over 40 assists. Myers has 11 , and hronek at 10. Juulsen at 3 , forbot at 1 . Every other team in the nhl has 4 guys on dcore at 16 to 40 points on the defensive side. Meaning they have guys who can contribute

[@TheBlazersfan22]

Like literally . Myers got over 10 assists mark 2 games ago . Our next defenceman hroneks was at 10 assists since boston injury in boston. Everyone else is under 5 assists except for brannstrom at 8 who got waived. Every other nhls team dcore at 3 to 4 guys above 10 assists since 10 to 15 games ago

[@TheBlazersfan22]

Every time canucks score . 97 percent of the time . Is when hughes is out on the ice. Not when myers is out there. Not when forbot is out there , not when juulsen out there, not when soucy out there . Every pairing on canucks besides hughes. Is not getting points . Meaning there is not 2nd defence assist point going towards that canucks goal. Majority of the time. When the 2nd assist is reward during a goal. It usually rewarded to a defenceman. Cause he's usually the dude making that on the rush pass. Or, the setting up play from the blue line .

[@CarharttCowboy]

Tocchet ans Rutherford haven't been able to manage the issues with Miller, actually they're responsible for it

[@marcpost4034]

Explain why they’re responsible.

[@deanreadman3263]

[@shanevanc]

Demco is not playing well. Period. Petterson is paid like a star but is only a very good player. He doesn't score. If he could our power-play would be feared. 😂😂😂 Petterson is a sidekick not a star.

[@mattblom3990]

Never Boring is honestly a great book! (Not paid or affiliated for it). Bought my ex-boss/mentor and my dad a copy for Christmas. The dysfunction is horrifying but interesting and with the Canucks - it was there since the very idea of the NHL Canucks.

[@ZBebic]

Team culture is a huge thing and the “core” of this team was in the middle of that country club atmosphere so I imagine that permeates into their attitude. Add to that you’ve lost a lot of character guys over the years (eg: Tanev, Schenn, Zad, Cole), the media is a bunch of high school drama seekers, coaching support is less, and most guys are under achieving compared to last year. It’s not one issue, this feels more like a perfect storm. Something needs to change nevertheless.

[@jcvandamme6343]

It’s almost looks as if the players are purposely trying to make management make a move.

[@jasongreenwood9734]

JT is especially trying to will a change

[@travisengland7097]

Petterson is not a game changer. He is willing this team into the dirt

[@ronaldlee6111]

Trade both EP40 and JT. Include Demko as the bonus piece.

[@Lonewolfotherworld]

Brock has not been the same since his concussion this year

[@MelDorey]

JT and EP need to coach up their lines. Cohesive lines win.

[@Anfimus]

Media has been more of a tire fire than the team lol

[@deanreadman3263]

well i dont know what f..kin team your watching but it certainly isnt the medias fault.

[@MelDorey]

Dont see any hungry hustle around the opposition net. Not much screening of goltender.

[@MelDorey]

Hockey has aproblem. Coaches shuffle playerson lines too much. They need to fix line play.

[@ac130canada]

media ruined these players lol

[@adamtajhassam9188]

No they didnt - the players frankly suck do does your very thought w out giving any thought to how patetically expensive this team currently is wasting money. that LA game was unacceptable .

[@timodonnell8943]

[@bigamigo4863]

Stop blaming the media for highly paid professional athletes not performing, that's a B.S intellectually dishonest excuse.

[@y6cd3sdzHs1g]

@@bigamigo4863 idk, just seems obvious to anyone that has studied a little human psychology or managed people that a lot of media attention is going to cause anxiety to introverts, and there appear to be several on the team

[@tylerfrohlich339]

Seems to be a massive distraction every single year. They're openly saying the noise is getting through to the room and their body language shows how disoriented they are.

[@chrislow4362]

I'm sure if the coach could have one wish come true in his life. They'd trade petey and Miller together to the same team

[@CarharttCowboy]

Jeff is 100% correct. Addition by subtraction. Miller HAS to go, regardless of the return

[@RR-lq3ef]

Yes, the time has come.

[@Lewis-gl1uf]

What I don't understand is why not offer smaller contracts but offer a great bonus for good play and effort? Would that not incentive player's to play there best seems once some players have signed a big contract there play goes down hill ? Don't know just saying still bucks fan

[@richinvancity]

Our dirty laundry ain't pretty!

[@rickm1412]

Never agreed more with Jeff.

[@CarharttCowboy]

Coliton isn't an NHL coach despite his time in Chicago.

[@shanevanc]

Why is Hoglander on team?😢

[@TheSafetySmith]

Run out of answers? Not! A team can have great players but an ineffective team. We can see this in the way they are playing and the results. Doesn't take a genius. Change is coming. Personally I trade both to get great returns just like the Jets did. Its OK to move on.

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

Watch ⌚️ that Edmonton vs Colorado game ...now that's how you play hockey 🏒 👏

[@ObscureReference9]

is this a joke? we dont have the best player since mario on our team and edmonton doesnt have 10 nhl players total. if Connor leaves you will need 4 more 1st overalls to rebuild.

[@shaunduquette5992]

Fix the defence,maybe fix the team.

[@Matt00033]

Trade Hienan and Vinny for Scheen

[@deanreadman3263]

spell check please

[@VanMichael21]

Martin Scheen ? Charlie Scheen ?

[@kentnilsson465]

Garland has grown on me the last 2 years, BUT his hockey sense isnt the best, he rarely makes a pass longer than 20 feet because he doesnt see those guys, he sees the ice very well 10-15 feet max

[@vancity_5.0]

It's amazing how many people PAY to watch this team suck hard. Should be boycotting the organization until they clean house then Aqua has no choice but to reduce ticket prices.

Boeser and suter for olivier

Sure wish we had Horvat.

Islanders are 2nd to last in the east, and he is averaging well under a point per game lol, what the hell is horvat exactly going to do?

why??
