Yeah, we don't have a single forward in the top 80 of qualified forwards in scoring, and have no defenseman in the top 120 in scoring of qualified dmen.
Yah here in lies the problem. Nobody is meeting expectations. Nobody.
I would argue that Terry, Dostal, Strome, McGinn, and Doumolin are meeting expectations.
I really think we need another high end forward. 3x23 year old and under D men also doesn't help. You know(not actually dorected at you, just me being snarky), the players VP said he wanted to get.
The young players just don't understand what it means to buy in, imo. When you got Johnson hyping in the bench to do what the coaches are preacher or getting on guys who aren't guys aren't on the same page. We're assuming it's bad systems but it could just as easily be bad execution because they players think they know better or what ever reason. They're not invested in what we're doing.
Back to the 4th line for Mac.
Mac needs to pull his head out of his ass. I like this move, also like Terry and strome with vatrano( the black hole defensively ) they protect vatrano a little bit more
Maybe, or maybe it's that the coach keeps trying to force a system that does not utilize the strengths of the individual players. And maybe that's what the coach does because that's what he's told to do by the GM?
Oh, totally agree. Something needs to change. I just don't think Cronin is the sole architect of our current predicament. I've mentioned before I think he and PV are too rigid in their thinking.
