Best way to win a debate!

He did last night at least twice. I remember noticing both times.

He had two D starts as of a week ago. I didn’t watch last night as I knew they would get pumped

Next 6. It won't be easy.

They get a little reprieve after, but the 5 before Christmas look tough too: Vegas (x2), MTL, PIT, EDM. Obviously a lot can happen between now and then, but they need to steal a few points to keep the playoff dream alive

Pageau was a player that I wanted for Bo's wing after they had some chemistry at the world championships that one year.

Because international success really played well with LE and the Twins. Let's go based off of another one

Where are you getting that stat from?

He never starts with a D zone face off. Never

Pretty sure like 65-70% of shifts start either in the neutral zone or on the fly anyway 🤷‍♀️ People getting caught up in the rest of the 30-35% zone starts seems wild

I’d argue that linemates have a bigger impact on a player’s production than zone starts.

I'd argue that good linemates PLUS a good coach would have a bigger impact on player production in any zone..

People are questioning whether Green is in over his head, we'll have a better idea after the next 6 games.

I have Green the benefit of the doubt in his first season because he was new and the roster was crap. Last year he had them finish better than expected. But this year he is really showing that he may not be NHL quality.

A few of us believe the signs of poor decision-making have always been there.

It's nice to see Sven wanting to stay in the line up by coasting from the blue line in.

I guess we are talking about two different things, You are talking about the usage of a single player and i'm talking about a team picture.

You wouldn’t be able to see him in a team picture, he’s too short.

Edler net front on the power play. He does an amazing job of screening Marky. Why not the other teams goalie.

Screened on both shots. If you don’t succeed at first, try again!

- VanHockeyGuy

Green would be the fall guy here if they continue to slide, but I think a bigger response is required from the players. Green's judgments and line combinations are somewhat known and I don't think we'll see much change from him. The players just have not been executing well at both ends. Over-passing and tentativeness on offense, and effortless and unaware on defense

Next 6. It won't be easy.
