Sunday Morning Coffee- Give your head a shake...

PrintThere were many that spoke out, railing against the coach and the management. "Are they crazy? Andrew Alberts over Shane O'Brien?". They thought it wasn't a big deal. They thought it was an over reaction. And some thought they shouldn't have sat him no matter what. Yet with word coming out now that the situation with O'Brien was more about his weight gain and apparently lack of desire to fulfill even his most basic of roles with the team, I ask those of you who do things like start web sites in support of him to kindly give your head a shake. This is the kind of thing that can push a team over the edge, and they're certainly showing signs of it. More after the jump...
When you look at the ordeals this team has had to endure this season: injuries to top players, Auger-gate, that colossal road trip, Pavol Demitra's health and personal issues and Luongo's struggles, that's enough to crush a lot of teams. But to have a disruptive force in the room that pretty clearly doesn't give a damn about the team or his team mates and their goal, this close to playoff time can be disastrous for even the most solid of teams.
They don't need the distractions. And they certainly don't need the feeling that comes from knowing you can't rely on one of your team mates. And that is exactly the situation Shane O'Brien has put them in. Reports are he is working his ass off, trying to shed the excess pounds and shame he feels. He better feel shame. Am I coming across as harsh? Too damn bad. Millions of dollars invested, blood sweat and tears. This team, the city and it's loyal fans have suffered enough. There is no room for someone whose priorities are not in the right place.
Shane O'Brien is supposed to be not just doing his clearly defined role to help the Canucks advance in the playoffs. He is also supposed to be showing Canucks management that he wishes to remain a Canuck beyond this season, as his contract expires this summer. He has far from done that, and I think it's safe to say it's been to the detriment of the team. So don't you dare feel sorry for Shane O'Brien. If you're a fan of this team, he has let you down. Apology? Sure, but if the management feels he is ready and deserving, he needs to show he's sorry on the ice. If not, it's gonna be a (hopefully) long and boring playoff run for him in the pressbox.
The Canucks are back home after a split on the road, and playing in front of their 300th consecutive sellout crowd. They best not be complacent however, as the freshly eliminated Minnesota Wild will be eager to play spoiler tonight at GM Place. Roberto Luongo will be the focus tonight, as he looks to silence the critics yet again after that disastrous night in Los Angeles. Luongo's been so good in bounceback games however, and with the confidence built up after a strong game against the Ducks, including a hat trick from rookie Micheal Grabner, the Canucks should be ready to roll.
Another thing to watch is Henrik Sedin, and just how much he can expand his lead on Alex Ovechkin tonight. Ovechkin was held pointless in the 3-2 win yesterday over the Blue Jackets. After the game, president of the Ryan Kesler fan club and Jackets' winger RJ Umberger made a ton of new fans in DC with his comments:
"I don't think any team in the West would be overmatched by them," Umberger said. "They play the wrong way. They want to be moving all the time. They float around in their zone, looking for breakaways and odd-man rushes.
"A good defensive team is going to beat them (in the playoffs). If you eliminate your turnovers and keep them off the power play, they're going to get frustrated because they're in their zone a lot." And of course, you know the Capitals just laughed and brushed it off because they never, ever, NEVER complain to the media about anything.
Look... fuck breakfast. Just give me the chocolate.
A small but very sweet basketful of games today. The early game on NBC/TSN has the Detroit Red Wings in the city of brotherly love to face the Flyers. Philadelphia will be looking to shore up their chances at a post season slot, while the Wings can move into a tie for 5th with Nashville, and the Wings will still have a game in hand on the Preds, thus giving them the tie breaker. A Coyotes/Red Wings first rounder? Awesome, right? Just think of how many kickass shootouts there will... oh right. Nevermind.
Calgary and Colorado get a chance to determine their own fate today, the Flames get Chicago, and the Avs faceoff against the Sharks. As a Canucks fan, it's high comedy seeing the hoops these two teams have to jump through, knowing one of them won't make it. That being said, go Avs. I hate the Flames.

I heard that SOB feels comfortable playing at 230 but the coaches want him to be at 220. Wouldn’t it be better for him to play where he’s comfortable? It’s not like SOB has been playing terrible. He’s actually been playing pretty well. Why mess with that? He could be just like Wellwood. Wellwood lost all that weight in the offseason and came back terrible. He put the pounds back on he starts to produce. I think this is more of an AV issue. For whatever reason he just hates certain guys.
Because
with this team it’s not about performance, it’s about pet theories.
I’m far from defending SOB, but am I the only one who’s noticed that the further we go along with this management group the more players suddenly become “problems” that have never shown any sign of it before? I mean so far this year a well-respected 40 y/o dman, SC winner etc gets called a “prima donna” etc for seemingly the first time in his career (playing great for the Yotes btw) and a 19 y/o rookie with universal acclaim as a team-first, anything to win guy is accused publicly of faking injury.
And now SOB’s the latest “problem child”, again, not saying he isn’t, but it seems to me we’ve had way more than our share of supposed “headcases” (some of them highly dubious) lately and it wouldn’t surprise me that Gillis’ “I know better” attitude on everything that filters down to AV has a lot to do with it.
Everybody knows
That the world is full of stupid people
Well I got the pistols so I'll keep the Pesos
Yeah that seems fair
I’ve heard there were issues with SOB in Tampa, he and Tortorella clashed often apparently… so take that for what it’s worth
WAACH Blog/Podcast- The 38th best Canucks blog on the Interwebs http://waachcast.blogspot.com
Is there anyone who doesn’t clash with tortorella? I mean besides sloppy seconds?
I’ve always thought that AV actually has a soft spot for SOB. One thing i’ve always respected about AV; he knows how to get the most out of each individual. He knows who on the team responds best to a kick in the ass and a calling-out (SOB, Willie Mitchell) and who responds best to soft talk, even if a benching is involved (Kyle Wellwood). It’s no accident that he calls out certain players and makes excuses for others in his interviews…he knows who’s going to respond best to what.

It’s possible that these types of problems were never looked at or dealt with by previous management. We’ll never really know, of course. I’ve heard a lot of people say that past Canucks teams have had too much of a “country club” vibe and current management is trying to change that I guess. It’s evident that the team leaders are “with it” as they’ve all signed extension in the last year to stay there (Sedins, Lu, Kesler, Burrows, Edler).
Poutine & Meatballs
It’s clear that the dietary restrictions placed upon Wellwood affected his game negatively earlier in the season. It’s to mgt’s credit that they saw their error and were ok with his adjustment in diet and excersize. May have taught MG and AV a valuable lesson. They’re wading into new territory themselves. OB has already stated that he plays better at a slightly higher weight than what they prescribed and I believe Bernier has said the same. Didn’t it seem that when Bernier played this season he seemed too light? Did to me.
I agree. I think Gillis and Coach V go overboard analyzing every aspect of the players’ lives. Weight. Sleep. Diet. They aren’t hamsters in a lab. Playing 82 games is tough enough without constant scrutiny of the miniscule.
Yeah, maybe too much micro-managing. But it is a big money business in the bigger picture. If players aren’t on board they can go play in Florida or wherever, where no one cares.
Poutine & Meatballs
Other teams do the same with their young wayward players as well.
Mike Babcock is reputed to be a huge control freak.
Whatever. Its OK for him because of some success, but not for AV?
Fiddlesticks. You are 100% right. They are playing in a multimillion dollar business, and the expectations are high.
We can trade you to Columbus…if that works better for you. Myself, I love that the team doesn’t have that come see…come sa…attitude. Where the players are coddled to the Nth degree.
We want a Cup here. These are the work conditions. Play the right way, and you will have success.

the difference is, wellwood’s weight doesn’t hamper him conditioning wise, where it does with SOB and his play as of late is a testament to that. He just doesn’t give a rats ass, and that’s the big issue here. It’s a team issue, is he focused and committed as he should be?

I still don’t know what to make of this situation. What I do know, and what appears to be the consensus, is that SOB has consistently played better than Alberts. So they need to stop comparing dick sizes and get this shit settled. Then SOB can get back in the game, regardless of who is blame-worthy.

Also, Fuck SOB.
He’s not getting paid millions to NOT have his shit together.
Say what you will about “Well, what if YOU were late for work…” and whatnot, but if I was getting paid millions of dollars to play hockey, I would make DAMN SURE that my weight was right and that I got to practice on time, even if I was 26 year old millionaire athlete. Look at younger and better paid athletes around the league, they show up on time and make sure their fitness is at the level it should be. Just shows lack of mental toughness and commitment, which is really disappointing considering how much everyone else is working their asses off (Burrows, Dank, Hank, Son of Sam, Grabs, Kes, Raymond, Wellfed (sometimes), even Romer). He needs to get his ass in gear for the playoffs, because shit like this won’t fly. I will admit that I hated SOB last season because of all his needless and incessant penalties, but this year he was growing on me and then he pulls something like this?
Bollocks. Wake up, Shane, please. For your sake and for the team’s sake.

What CC said.
I thought the petition was very funny, so I signed it. But after Botch’s article came out, it looks a little more serious than just missing a practice.
And Welly’s carrying 4 extra pounds well is nothing like SOB coming back from the Oly break with an extra 15-20 lbs.
He should be feeling shame. I hope he gets back in, because we need him, but the big middle finger to his teammates that he gave by coming back like that had to be addressed. Everyone else is working so hard…where are you Shane.
Get your shit together…and play hard. We need you. In a city like Vancouver…all will be forgotten if you do that.

at the same time, by all accounts (not to mention statistically) he has been playing his best hockey recently, so does the weight matter that much considering that?

Bah, I think you’re all over-reading this. SOB is a kid, an obviously not so smart one, and obviously likes to have fun. Plus he makes a million and a half a year. Add those things up, you get someone who’s liable to be a bit of a prima donna occasionally, probably drinks too much, and very possibly thinks he’s king shit of turd island, when in reality he’s just fart the messenger boy. All these things most likely cause a bit of friction in the room, and he probably needed a bit of a slapping down. Personally, I’d like to see him fix his shit, whatever that shit is, and stay on the team. If there’s some kind of friction between him and management (which I’m not sure I actually believe there is, beyond straight performance and motivation questions), then it will turn out how it turns out. To instantly blame MG for everything here is not only ridiculous, it’s irresponsible. Likewise blowing it out of proportion and making it into some great conspiracy is also dumb. Sometimes certain pieces just plain don’t fit into a puzzle…SOB could possibly be traded cuz he’s causing grief to a place like Pittsburgh and become their willie mitchell…or he could fade into obscurity.
I’m just not a fan of instantly jumping to conclusions about any of this and making assumptions as to the goings on. As I’ve said before, we just plain are not privy to what goes on behind closed doors with the team or the management.

If he was
such a problem in the room he should have been dealt at the deadline, and considering this management’s other problems with players, the contradictory public statements made by management and SOB re the fighting, and Gillis’ pet theories on performance enhancement I don’t think it’s such a stretch. I mean somehow this team has managed to have 3 “prima donnas” that we know of so far this season… seems like a lot of puzzle pieces to me.
Everybody knows

You utterly missed my point. Yes, I suggested that he could be a small problem in the room, but a small amount of friction… not a phaneuf or bure sized problem. But that wasn’t even my point. My point was all this conjecture is just that…conjecture. As for my statements about him possibly being a prima donna and about him being a puzzle piece that doesn’t fit, they were not really directly related. Alot of people in any profession at the level these guys are are prima donna’s…but some of them are such in a way that meshes well with others, and some aren’t. And let me add, that despite all of what I just said, I have no clue what the real issue is, that’s just one possible guess I had. I have others too. Maybe he shagged Av’s wife/daughter/aunt/second cuz twice removed. Maybe he ate Daniel’s yogurt without asking. Who knows.

It’s the domain of douchebags from the ‘burbs who come in to town to prove how tough they are, and fakes. Other than the occasional famous or psuedo famous person who goes there cuz they heard it’s the shit, I can see no reason to ever go to the roxy. And frankly i’m not a starfucker anyways, so I don’t even need to see the famous people.

I should hope our management group can think of better ways to let a player know that a bad attitude is not acceptable (diminished but not abolished ice time, perhaps?) than to overwork other defensemen or jeopardize Luongo’s health (with people crashing the net) or already fragile mental state. I’ll make no excuses for the way Lu is playing, but the stats don’t lie when they say Shane has been an important part of our defense this year. Hopefully AV & Co. get just how fucked we’ll be with a sulking O’Brien and… well, Alberts in the playoffs.
Not sure if he is getting in tonight…but SOB was with the team today, and apologized to his team.

Too Hard On OB
I heard Tom Larscheid on the Team 1040. He said OB is happier at a few pounds heavier, not so lean. Larschied’s point was – who cares if he eats donuts for breakfast? He is playing better than Alberts. OB should have been disciplined for the Roxie party -late for practice mistake, but a few pounds? Chill out Coach V
I think the problem is that it was more than “a few pounds”, closer to 15-20 lbs was reported.
That is ridiculous during the season. And it’s very likely from booze and subsequently junk food.

Gatorade and all starchy foods have carbs/sugar too and players drink/eat a ton of them everyday.
It’s the alcohol content that is the real problem. Excessive alcohol screws with your metabolism and forces your body to store more fat. Also, it screws with your sleep patterns, energy levels, etc.
