So what game does the official Green countdown start anyway?
I think it's on now, at least as far as this forum goes.
I was never high on the guy and thought he should have gone over the summer, so it'll be interesting to see how the next handful of games go and how the media and fans respond.

Pettersson is turning out to be quite sucky at it and I think it’s safe to say that Horvat is no Bergeron or ROR. Your top 6 centre’s need to be more of a force at the 200’ game for our team defence to improve, bottom line.
So do the wingers. They blow the zone early. Pearson is one of the few that will get his hands dirty playing D. He learned under Sutter. I agree Petey and Bo need to be better in their own end and so does Miller. Bottom line is they had three competent d men out there tonight and one of them was Myers. Why was Burroughs sat again? Not that he is the answer but he looked solid in the first three games.

With or without Travis Hamonic this was going to be a weak blue line.

Give Claude Julien a call or Mike Babcock or Bruce Boudreau. A real coach who also has the nutsack to tell GM that he needs better players. I’ve seen enough of the jawless coach. He can do colour for Gord Miller.

Playing Dowling and Highmore over Pods at this point in the game is obscene.
Exactly! Podkolzin will do pretty much whatever you want him to do. Boat-loads of talent in that kid. He's so ready to take a bigger roll but that aint
Green's way.

Team speed is a function of quick processing, right decisions, accurate and quick puck movement.

The breakdown tonight was countless neutral zone turnovers and Buffalo transitions from mediocre forechecking and not getting pucks deep.

Defensive play was poor due to 3 very borderline NHL defensemen being out of position and the team collapsing back into the Green turtle shell system.

Hunt was a -3 soon after the 3rd period started. A bad decision/bounce by Schenn caused the double-minor by Pearson. They were doing ok until a couple of bad plays killed all momentum. After the 3rd Buffalo goal, they just rolled over and immediately gave up the 4th goal.

This is the kind of crap that Green pulls. Probably why the players end up playing with hands of stone after a while.

POST GAME TRAVIS GREEN: 4:49 min./sounds like he's lost the room. :(
Green: "I don't think we were good enough to win tonight, flat out."
We had nine forwards that didn’t block a shot, eight forwards that didn’t get a hit. We didn’t pay a big enough price.
Travis Green on Hughes: He was close to playing tonight. I don’t expect him to be out that long, if at all.
“I thought it was a real fast game…Give that team credit, there’s a reason why they’re 3-0. I don’t think we played good enough to win
tonight.”
POST GAME BROCK BOESER: 5:14 min.
Boeser: “Buffalo’s a hard working team. We knew we couldn’t take them lightly. A couple times our game got a little sloppy. Small details we have to clean up.”
"We have to simplify our game. We turned the puck over too many times in the neutral zone."

Meh… I would say three decent games and a stinkfest. I don’t like the lines at all. Unless you have a legitimate top 9, don’t try to pull one out of thin air. And if they are bound and determined to play Pearson with Bo put the kids with Dickinson. But for fuck sakes take Miller out of centre to laying with a raw rookie and a guy named Dowling. I’d even look at putting Pearson with Petey a d Brock. Miller and Bo and Garland would get a lot of good looks. Miller is better at LW.

Need to pick up at least a win and a tie the rest of the way here or it’s going to get ugly for the coach real quick.

Agreed.

Micky OPed the October 1 preseason GDT... and we lost that game to the Flames.

Then Micky OPed the very next GDT, breaking CC tradition and thus jinxing us for every reg season game he OPs.

Micky OPed tonight's GDT and we played our worst game of the season = Jinx verified.

We need to have a vote as to whether Mick should be allowed to start another GDT this year.

Oh wait, I'm a mod, yeah screw voting...

4 steak hammered out 30 odd posts the other day. Not sure if you punt him from doing the GDT if that number will increase or decrease.
