lol can't choke if you were never a playoff team to begin with.
- LordHumungous


Regardless of what people think you are, the team was 1st place in their division with less than 30 games remaining, games in hand over their direct competition, amounting to an 85% chance of making the playoffs.

They haven't choked, but they are quickly choking away their playoff spot. I'm calling it a choke not because of the loses. It's their attitude during this losing skid. Most look completely disinterested.

Tweaked.

Grown accustomed to their time off each spring? Maybe it's not the young guys who need to learn how to win when the pressure gets turned up?

I think green is a fine coach. That being said, the troops aren’t motivated right now and it’s time for change.
- CanuckDon


Alrighty then, I'll stay as the only logical person to see Green is a really sh!tty systems coach. I hope he gets fired immediately after the season is over.

I've never dumped on a coach before, even when you guys were dumping all over Desjardins, Tortorella, Vingeault, but Green is a terrible coach with no vision, no systems, no adjustments (other than move Eriksson from the top line to 3rd line)

So what you’re saying is you like the Canucks chances as long as the don’t lose another game ? Lol
- Redmile247

As long as they don't lose a 5th in a row. That can get in to their heads and cause more losses. I think we need to win 10 or 11 games or the last 16 for playoffs. Losing streaks can be a hard funk to get out of this late in the season.

I think Stetcher needs to get benched. Last game was due to his massive mistake. JV also needs to be starting on the 2nd line. no more of this LE starts each period with Bo and then moves to 4th line after 1 shift. Anyone else noticing that recently?

He’s shown he can carry the load. Flames seem to really like their Swedes lately.

Thats the time for a turning point for guys like EP, Bo and QH. Winning games by themselves.
If not, better finish in 9th.

People were being too mean to Benning. And by people, I mean you people.

16 games left
10 wins gives you 94 points
Any combination of that will get you in.

Flames just like guys who carry a load. It’s the cold mountain air? Gets you all titillated.
