Yeeahhhh, there's no defending anything from this game. Wednesday you could say we played well and deserved better, but this was terrible.

11 damn penalties, giving them 7 power plays! That's 22 minutes you're not playing 5-on-5. That's unacceptable!

I hear you guys but I want a simple coaching change before we nuke every body who's ever shaken hands with Poile.

For all the shit we've rightly given him, Stamkos is starting to warm up. We've got him for three years, it's not unreasonable to get a top 5 pick this year and try it again with a better coach, maybe one who plays players under 27.

Send LHeureux back to Milwaukee if you’re only gonna give him 8 minutes a game. He was our best player last year in Milwaukee and to give him 8 minutes and play him him with mccarron and smith is pathetic. If he was in Dallas he’d be on the top 2 lines, 3rd line minimum. This franchise is joke when it comes to developing young forwards

The only forwards on our team that don’t have a negative +/- are him, Evangelista, and Tomasino. Novak and Parsinnen have the next best +/-. They are also all scoring at higher rates 5 v 5 than anyone on our team. I realize some of that is because they get easier matchups but I really can’t fathom why Brunette hasn’t just given them at least a game where he feeds them ice time to see what happens. There’s no way they could play any worse than our star vets are though.

Now that the “country club” culture has persisted across coaches and GMS the one common denominator I can see is that both Hynes and Bruno refused to cut the ice time for our highly paid vets. I get you need those guys to play well to be a contender but I also think the total lack of accountability is what leads them to feel like they can half ass it with no consequences.

I’m not asking for them to cut ice time for our highly paid vet. They are our highest paid because they are our highest skilled players. I would like to see our more skilled young players to play with them. Sprinkle a young prospect on every line
Forsberg orielly Evangelista
LHeureux Stamkos Marchessault
Novak Parssinen Tomasino
Nyquist Svechkov sissons.
When everyone is healthy

I'm not even saying to cut it long term but maybe just have a game where you send a message to them that if they aren't going to perform he'll play the young guys more.
