Like he thinks hes amazing and the worlds most incredible coach? I think is exaggeration

I absolutely love how Green handles the clowns in the Vancouver media. Good for Travis.

I do too actually. When he's asked a good question, he gives good answers. When he knows he's being baited into something, he responds accordingly. He's actually pretty good at reading people.

He speaks extremely well
It’s a fresh of air

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

he has no college degree, so i guess it doesn't count as arrogant

He's really good...The media are always asking him astonishing stupid questions.

Every Canuck coach seems to annoy a portion of the fanbase ...Gum-chewing AV...Nervous Willie ..etc.

I love guys who don't suffer fools gladly, and I'll never understand why some people are put off by that.

I think it’s good too. Green is well equipped to handle the pressure and media scrutiny of the Vancouver market.

I just realized I haven't watched a single post-game scrum after a Canucks game all season. But Botch and Jeff Paterson mentioned Green's incredulous responses to questions on the patcast, they seemed annoyed by it. That was really early in the season, maybe he's ironed some of it out.

Of course it must be hard not to react that way when you're being asked something stupid.

Since Botch and Paterson are two of the biggest clowns in the Vancouver media I would expect them to take exception to Green and I'm glad he is pissing them off.

AHL opinion spotted. 5000 more posts and you might get the call-up

I'm sorry but doesn't everyone rag on our last GM for being "arrogant and condescending" for doing the same thing with the media?

Double standards as usual.

As someone already mentioned he has no college degree so it doesn’t count.

I don’t think they are clowns. They are the only 2 that aren’t shills and will ask some tough questions that this organization completely deserves.

i'd cast green in a movie. he is playing a character pretty well. it's entertaining, especially as he has to go more and more baghdad bob with his postgame takes on what happened.

i hope the players appreciate it.

...now if only he could coach...

That's one of the common criticisms of Desjardins?

I just rag on him because his reasoning is often completely idiotic (perhaps condescending in the sense that it's annoying how he believes that fans are stupid enough to buy it-- that's a significantly bigger criticism of someone like Linden, though).

Naaah. They're literally the only real media guys in Van who aren't intellectually deficient or content with spinning the PR turntables for Lindenning.

They tell it like it is. People can't handle that.

Two of the only ones to have the balls to say anything other than the Canucks are in FANTASTIC shape and in GREAT hands? Yeah....clowns.

He said last GM - so Gillis.

Ooohh, missed that.

That's even more stupid. To my knowledge, there aren't any known established opposing factions that are particularly hard on Gillis but soft on Green or vice versa (like there would be for Green vs. Desjardins). It makes no sense whatsoever to call out an entire fanbase for having double standards on the basis that a portion of them think one thing and a completely different portion think the opposite.

It seems pretty obvious that the people who prefer media baiting to be met with disdain are the ones who like that about Gillis/Green (I fall under this category), and people who complain about it don't like that about them, and there's not really any reason to think otherwise.
