Alrighty then, I see I touched a nerve, you like Green and his ineptness, his lack of strategies, his lack of using players to their strengths, his unique idea of having the team ready to play the 2nd period, screw the first period.

I'l take Reirden and his experience of assisting Trotz to a Stanley Cup win, and then being promoted.

But Greens the guy, can't wait to see his plans for Hughes.

Wow, you sound like me when I mention Beagle....

Ouch, sick burn

Pens fans love Gudbranson and McCann so far


Apparently both of them stepped up big time for them in an intense game against their rivals, Washington.

Gudbranson was an ice time leader

Wonder if they’ll keep it up or flame out like Sbisa after his hot start with Vegas last year

Without looking it up, do you know who the coach is in Washington who is getting the most out of Nick “doesn’t know what it means to be great” Dowd?

Hint, Zero previous head coaching experience...
- 1970vintage

Reirden has done alright, he’s no Trotz who setup how that team deploys.

I find your unrelenting condemnation of Green interesting considering you don't have a background in coaching and have only seen him do so for 69 games.
- NorthNuck

What about eveyones unrelenting condemnation of Gudbrason, Pouliot, Beiga, Benning...do you guys have a background in playing competitive NHL hockey...talk about a hypocritical statement.

And I do have 3 national coaching certificates, I have been to and coached in the final national game in my sport.

So i guess now by your opinion, that "NO ONE" is allowed to criticize anyone unless they have a similar skill set to those being discussed.


EDIT: BTW Green is NHL 151games 59wins 72losses

Well it certainly has taken the discussion away from Benning, Pouliot and Beiga...not to mention Gaunce.

Guess this group isn't ready for any Green criticism at any level, stick to the above names and I guess I'll be accepted as "able to know my stuff"

It’s always tough for fanbase a to criticize coaches when the expectations are so low.

I bet you’ll see more of it next year with Hughes as likely a decent UFA or 2 added to the mix to raise expectations

What sport?
Seems weird to go into detail, but not mention the sport...i'm guessing curling.

Edit. Anyone watched that Losers docu-series on Netflix.

Pretty good one on curling tbh.

I've left Gaunce alone for awhile.. but now that you mention it.

I don't mind, keep flaming green, you've got coaching certificates, you're entitled to talk coaching, just wait though, Dragon will lose his poop if you keep hacking his boy down like this.

What a bold prediction

Everyone please calm down. We have Hughes and a world class coach. No reason to panic

But Beagle!

We need carol to set up a fake blog just for Prez. Then him and all his alts can argue in circles with each other until he hopefully becomes completely insane and throws his computer into the pig farm. We will need Vantel to post there for awhile. Sorry Vantel #destroyPrez

Was listening to the pens radio guys the other day and they absolutely love McCann...think he will be the steal of that deal.

Playing with Crosby doesn’t hurt the padded stats

When we sign Karlsson.

That's the thing.

Justin Shultz couldn't play in the bottom pairing in EDM but on PIT he's a cup champ.

lol

Let's pick up the hate today.

Got to wait for the new blog. Can’t disrupt the flow of hate.

It was soccer, my team lost to the national champs 2-1 in the penalty kicks. I have mentioned this before.

I like to criticize Green. I like to criticize all of our coaches. I like to criticize JB. I like to criticize Booner.

I find it all enjoyable.

Players do generally look better when they play with better players ...Shultz was handled terribly ...young offensive D man who needed to be sheltered and have his game game grown properly was thrown to the wolves by a rebuilding oilers team

This great to know, now step up and help a brother out here, I feel like i'm on a ledge hanging on with one arm.

- dbot

I meant Green specifically lol, potentially the same with EP/Boeser if/when the Canucks make the playoffs in the future, if those guys don't produce, some people are going to start questioning them instead of a 24/7 lovefest.
