Green also weighs in on the time commitments and pressures of being a coach in the NHL.
For all the harping about ineffectiveness of Canucks’ power play specialists to produce, and penalty kill stalwarts to defend and clear pucks, they came to play in a 3-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.
The power play showed promise and the improved penalty kill had another perfect night.
The first man-advantage unit struck fear into the opposition because it was attacking. A 1-for-5 night didn’t tell the true story because 10 shots masked the multitude of times J.T. Miller put it on a tee to swing away for easy goals. Too many missed.
The Canucks could have had three more power-play goals and Brock Boeser should have bagged a pair. The significance is what it could mean in the post-season. In a special-teams league, there’s nothing like the feeling of knowing that you’re going to score, not just hoping to score.
