No speed, no identifiable system, no urgency no imagination, little to no hitting, poor chemistry/teamwork, thin leadership beyond Marchand, lack of passion, intensity void.
I expect more of the same, even with Sacco or Leach as coach because right now they aren't part of the solution, and may be part of the problem.
Defensively lost, offensively clueless.
This team needs a coach who can spell it out for them.
My gut feeling is that what they have behind the bench in any
capacity is not the answer. If the men behind the bench had a
clue, I think Montgomery would've welcomed their input.
They can keep Monty till the end of the season, possibly miss the playoffs,
trade assets at the TDL if all goes south, and come back with
a proven guy like Mike Sullivan or Torts if either becomes available, Gerard Gallant is available right now but if he can't bring in his own assistants then what's the point!?!
