In seriousness though, I feel you. My four-letter word to post ratio has gone through the roof the past half year.

Hey! We suck!
The number of time I stop myself from making a curse laden post has grown exponentially over the last few months that is for dang sure.

Yeah. The benchings...Brunette. He came in and immediately started benching people. He is an abrasive guy. The only way a coach like him survives is with dominant success.
He is living off the end-run stretch last year. He needs to find something, or he is going to be fired. There is nothing redeemable about his coaching right now. He has pissed off everyone: fans, young players,veterans. He holds grudges. He throws his players under the media bus.
Honestly, I don't get it. He is as far away from a developmental coach as possible. We have pissed away multiple first round players now (three, four if you count Askarov) simply because he absolutely refused to play them or coach them.

Can't get ice time with us above the 3rd line, has a goal in 2 out of 3 games with Pittsburgh. Wonder when Trotz is going to stop trusting Brunette's talent evaluation.

I was referring to Cody Glass as the third.

2 goals in three games. He couldn’t even get a smidge of ice time here and was railroaded by his coach for basically 15 straight months.

And Beaver....finally had people understanding the Bundesliga BS... shoulda re-signed them and maybe add Skeig. Sherwood, Zucker blah blah. This last offseason is starting to look like the scene in A Perfect Storm where the sun breaks through after they turned around and they thought they would make it out. Reality ... They should have stayed the course and might not have sacrificed their future

The future can still be incredibly bright for this team. There are a lot of first round prospects and a lot of picks coming. We have talent on the ice and in Milwaukee. You still have to find a coach that can get the most out of them, a coach that can grow young players game, and find that elusive top center
On the bright side, nice to have a bunch of guys to follow and root for on other teams!

Tomasino didn't mesh with the top nine while here. Spend less than half his TOI last season with McCarron yet still got over half his points on plays involving McC. He's now in a situation where he's a tertiary threat and capitalizing. Assists from Gino and Bunting ... players defenses focus on. Great for him in his first three games.

I wasn't always impressed with Tomasino's work ethic or his willingness to battle for pucks but I thought he looked better this year and never really got a chance.
I guess Brunette made up his mind last season that Tomasino and Fabbro were never going to get to play. He probably should have told Trotz back then so he could have done something different last trade deadline or over the summer.

If they keep producing at above average maybe he'll figure out Bruno doesn't know how to use talent ...young or old 
Fabbro just got another goal. Wicked snipe.

Fancy that. Our talented young players succeed when given an actual freaking chance. Too bad it’s for another team. Also to bad we literally gave this player away.

Still being disrespected. 323 GP and still can't get his damn picture on the NHL app.
We kept Carrier and Schenn over Fabbro

Outside of Kemell and maybe Schaefer, who else is left in Milwaukee? We have Wood, Molendyk, Surin, Gibson, Edstrom and Stiga? Outside of Molendyk being paired with Gibson, I’m not terribly excited.
No number 1C. Maybe a couple of 2C’s if they pan out and that’s if they pan out. I’m sorry but after 25 years of watching this franchise, I have no faith in them to develop top 3 talents, let alone top 6 talents.
As much as I despised Hynes, he had to let the kids play and they did all right with him behind the bench. Maybe if, and I hate that I’m saying this, we kept Hynes, kept playing the kids, we might’ve sucked but we might have been fun to watch. Maybe they would’ve grown getting consistent minutes and learning from guys like ROR, Fil and Gus.
That point streak was the death blow of us, we just didn’t know it at the time.
