alright bottom line is do you want av gone? how many more coaches have to get fired because this core cant get it done?

there's no more excuses, if they cant get it done, changes have to be made. there's no more switching out coaches.

[He changes should have been made along time ago. Carter and Richards were awesome and played the two way game fast and hard not slow and boring. We got way worse even though points would say not.

Remember that one week when everyone was playing Pokémon Go? That was a good time. Unlike last night's game.

Remember all the idiots who walked into traffic or off train platforms because they found a Charizard?

What will Man of the Hour Scott do when nobody shows up for the games and the Big Board goes blank?

and im going to admit this, i wanted them gone but after a few years i was wrong.

So you’re admitting that you believe Holmgren got fleeced by the Columbus Blue Jackets, correct?

 

[hatcher]

and im going to admit this, i wanted them gone but after a few years i was wrong.

Only due to the parting bullshit. We got 4 good players but none have the impact those guys have. Schenn's there now but the rest arent what you pay to watch and its catching us now.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Goddamn are we already talking about detonating the core and coaches?

I mean shit I've got issues with both but get a grip people. Take deep breaths. Go beat up your fears. Let's try to remember that this schedule is a worst case scenario for starting with new coaches and a lot of new players.

Can't allow the team to have a Big Board gap!

 

[flyerslducks]

Worst performance by far. These coaches need to stop mixing all the lines up and stick with what has worked.

i like the mixing up. Players need to wake tf up. We haven't seen changes in lines during games since laviolette. Hak wouldn't do a damn thing. Only one line has been really working so far this season and that is the couts line. I hope he splits them up and gets lindblom with hayes. We need to get G, voracek, and ghost going.

The hayes line hasn't been that bad but it hasn't been great either. Get him back with couts. Lindblom will play his game with anyone, he is great at that. The good thing is that we have been in every game this season even if we played bad. Just need to fix the slow starts which has been an issue for years now. I don't know why we don't have the killer instinct from the first period.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

and he shouldnt never gotten that contract

Wow.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I feel like Psyduck.

@Hollywood Couturier are you seeing what I am seeing? IT'S A SUPERDUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Starat327]

Wow.

Id like to tell you that it gets better but

Spoiler

It didnt.

 

[flyerslducks]

They're generating 2.5 scoring chances per minute, that's pretty damn good.

rather would have g and voracek on their normal sides so we have more shooting options. The way it's set up right now the only shot options we have from the points are ghost and that's from a pass from voracek (which is harder to do since he is a lefty). It's way easier to defend especially since voracek and giroux don't have amazing wrist shots. I would love to see ghost in voracek's position ripping one timer's. Don't like voracek at the point either in case of short handed chances so I would probably put sanheim or provorov on the top pp too until voracek can get going.

Here's the Superduck....

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

and he shouldnt never gotten that contract, there's a reason why columbus wanted to trade him and homer got fleeced. hate to say it but we got worse when we traded carter and richards.

I agree.

 

[flyerslducks]

wonder how much the travel has to do with their slow starts or its just a flyers thing lol

 

[flyerslducks]

I didnt mind Provys game tonight.

ya I thought he had a strong game actually with one or two hiccups. Sanheim was fighting it I thought.

 

[flyerslducks]

Looking forward to seeing hart, couts, and provorov try and stop mcdavid. Huge test for the young studs!

Provorov makes one mistake tonight the pitchforks come out... Quality of competition be damned. Mistakes are commited in a vacuum so all mistakes must be called out equally.

Flyers always start slow. This is the defining trait of the Giroux era.
After 7 years and 3 other coaches AV is not gonna change that.
This is still our best start in 7 years. Best team in 7 years.
Im confident we'll make a run at the division.
Just have to not be totally buried by Dec and then we'll make our run.

Watching the replay, the Provorov usage is concerning.
Im as big a fan of him as you'll find but there shouldnt be any reason he gets 4 on 3 PP time.
Whats the point of carrying Ghost/Sanheim then?

It's not the players it's the coach is what I am told every time I say the slow start is the players fault.

Ghost was in AV's dog house last night after the turn over during the power play after trying to beat 3 people. But again a coach can't hold him accountable for that mistake I am hearing. I can't speak for why they didn't use Sanheim but they didn't there. I will say Provorov when outside the D zone seems to have some of his swagger back.

As has been pointed out by @deadhead, it's also a defining trait of AV's teams.
