Thanks For Proving My Point Alain


I would have preferred you proved me wrong Alain, but for some reason you like proving me right. Once again your awful coaching cost the Canucks a win. Hey but its not like your team only had 15 shots in regulation. Oh they did. But hey its not like they got a one goal lead and just sat on it. Oh, they had FIVE shots on goal in the third. But hey you did do everything to help your team stay motivated. Oh wait you continually put out the Valium Twins, who are combined -13.

Barry Trotz is over there running out four lines, keeping his big guns fresh. Alain is double shifting his worst forwards, and ignoring the fact his team is sitting on a one-goal lead. Give this guy the Jack Adams Trophy right now! 

Yes Luongo shouldn't have given up that goal to Suter, obviously. But guess what Alain?! When you give up a goal with 67 seconds left, and only have a one goal lead you go to overtime. When you have a two goal lead, you most likely hang on for the win. But how is one to generate these extra goal leads? Maybe getting more than 15 shots on one of the best goalies in the NHL.

How do I know these guys sat on a one goal lead and didn't try to score more. They had 11 shots in the first overtime period alone, four short of their regulation total. That and they almost won the game in the last 66 seconds of the game. 

This is exactly what I wrote two posts ago. You have to play a tight game against Nashville, because their game-plan is to keep it close and capitalize on mistakes. What does Alain do? Lets his team sit on a one-goal lead. No thats not a mistake at all. I said it before and I will say it again, this team wins DESPITE their leadership (coaching and Valium Twins). The whole team should get the Masterson Trophy.
