amateurish coaching. So many inefficiencies in all three zones. This is like 2013 Torts hockey with leather seated and heated steering wheel.
 
Crazy how Fox can be hounded by multiple forecheckers and almost always makes the right play and Skjei can't make a simple zone exit with minimal pressure. Re adjust the D pairs already.

This team needs to use the center of the ice to get out of the zone. It's idiotic to keep firing it up the boards and turning it over. There's no breakout and a ton of turnovers. This is why we get hammered every night.

You mean how Brady Skjei tried to use the center of the ice and turned it over?

Our defensemen are not smart enough or skilled enough to go through the center. Only Fox can be trusted. DeAngelo makes boneheaded decisions too. They just arent smooth enough. Unfortunately they have to play it safe.

Jake and Brady are the biggest culprits of mindlessly rimming the puck around the boards instead of making plays out of the zone.
 
I cant recall but did Skjei have any recent concussions in the last few seasons?

Its just very hard to justify his change; only thing I can recall is the actual getting of his contract.

I agree with the personnel issue but what is safe when teams are sealing the walls on that pass out over 82 games a season?

This is a coaching problem. Clear as day. ALOT of talent on this team. They play with zero defensive structure. None.

What type of dirt does Lindy Ruff have on management? This f***ing loser should have been gone YEARS ago.

On a brighter note, they're actually skating really well tonight. Their biggest issue is they can't string passes together and are moving a second faster than they can process right now. They've also at least been a bit better about providing puck support down low in the DZ and not flying it to leave the D with no outlets

I’m telling ya, it’s this goddamn pristine ice.

That's mainly because of the pressure they deal with against the top line every night and having no support in the center of the ice from their forwards. I don't think it's a coincidence that Brady and Jacob are eating shit nightly and not because they just suck so bad they can't help it.
 
We're the best team in the league...

... at blind passes
