Morning coffee musings 12/29: Painful point. 55 minutes of surprisingly effective hockey. And then… Yeah, bad luck? But also panic. Boes doing his thing. Jake baking. Garly strong. Strong performance early. Soucy… the good and the ugly. Demmer… .879 since back not good enough. Next! #NHL #Canucks
They really remind me of the team that ended up getting Boudreau fired. I know there were extenuating circumstances there, but we were told lack of systems was the issue. Blowing a 3 goal lead equals abandoning the system.
Green’s team slipped into Coach Killing mode as well. Because of this I only have one untouchable during trade talks
Why is Coach Tocchet so reluctant to use his Time-out? If the guys are mindlessly fire-drilling, why not take a few seconds to calm them down, go back to basic hockey structure, and see if it shifts the momentum?
Sad thing is this game could have been the perfect statement they can win without Hughes and a top shooter. And they were 5 minutes away from doing it. Myers could have redeemed himself with that breakaway but he panicked and made a terrible pass to Miller. Hard luck loss.
