GDT: 6 o'clock news - canes @ buffalo @ 6 o'clock

Brindy says they are sleeping. I think they are comatose

It’s become a real problem this year that they’re “sleeping” too often. Obviously, there’s a disconnect between Rod and the players right now, because no Rod-coached team should EVER be “sleeping” as often as the team has this year.

They’re going to f*** around, find out, and get Rod fired.

What a difference one hour makes.

what a dead vibe in that arena...it's like the Covid days

like 2013-2018 canes

Man that was a brutal giveaway by Svech in the neutral zone

He's absolutely approaching a point this year where a healthy scratch to send a message might be a good idea

/snore canes return to box

The problem is, it’s easier to move the coach than it is to move the players. Especially when the players that are struggling this year all make $6-8 million.

Such a dumb penalty to take lol

 

[Borsig]

cant do that

Why do you think they're so tuned out?

Kinda sad given how avg all the teams in the East are this year. With maybe a touch more effort and talent, they could be cruising even with all the turnover.

News for ya Rod ain’t getting fired and Rod isn’t the issue

 

[MyLuckyPuck]

Ah the preverbal cable network no-show game. I’d be interested to see all time W/L when not on Local Sports channel.

 

[Tryamw]

Leave guys uncovered at the circles

 

[Svechhammer]

How did that not go in

 

[MyLuckyPuck]

Fast

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

on the bright side, at least we won't have to worry about the team being worn out from playing Rod's demanding style all year come playoffs. lol

Man that was a brutal giveaway by Svech in the neutral zone

He's absolutely approaching a point this year where a healthy scratch to send a message might be a good idea

With all the talk about how he's seemingly been losing passion for the game this year, I wonder if a different physiological intervention is needed. Find some way to make hockey less of a high stakes job and more like a game for him again- maybe seeing if you can arrange for him to do something like coach youth hockey practices twice a week. Get him with the 10 year olds just out there having a blast. Or maybe find a way for him to take some personal time away from the game entirely, though he'll be doing that over the 4 nations break.

I dunno. Send a message scratches are likely to just put him in a worse mood, not motivate him.

At the same time, I hope this year doesn't give us a false sense of contention, because this team might not make the playoffs this year if the rest of the East wasn't so ass. We definitely need to get a lot better

I agree Rod isn’t the issue. But when you’ve got Svech at 4 more years at $7.5, Aho at 7 more years at $9.75, and Jarvis at 7 more years at $7.5 and all of them appear to have gotten too comfortable and no longer appear to want to “Run through a wall for Rod”, then what do you do?

 

[hblueridgegal]

It's like Guentzel took their identity with him

 

[Stickpucker]

Well, we had a team full of Hawks for a while, but it didn’t get us anywhere. Plus, the Hawk goalie we got was so bad that it became a verb used to describe horrendous goaltending. And we have a couple Wolves in the roster, but the organization has decided they prefer to keep most of the Wolves where they are for now.

So our best option right now is a Fish.

We also have a hunter but he's old.

....and Noesen, Fast, Teravainen, Skjei, and Pesce. They might have had an impact as well
