FFS it's a play scheme. It's not "Johnston is better than Zegras" it's "We haven't been able get get shit through so let's stick a really f***ing big guy in front of the goalie and see if we can get one off a deflection or by blinding the guy with Johnstons big ass"

I don’t have any problem with this I n a lost season down the stretch

4 shots in periods 2 and 3. Yikes.

You're embarrassing yourself.

completely fine if we clean house with the coaching staff entirely. cronin is not good, stifles offense, makes bad line up decisions. If it's between Cronin and Zegras, I'm picking Zegras 1000 times out of 10

Yes - start over entirely and have a veteran coach that knows what he doing behind the bench!

Say it with me.. Cronin sucks

If Ross's size was such an asset offensively why does he have 4 points this year?

 

[ScarTroy]

I’m usually very laid back when it comes to negativity but Cronin is not the right coach for this team.

I could see him coming in at the end of a rebuild, but he’s clueless with how to handle a young team trying to learn the league it seems.

 

[Rybread86]

He’s tried this many times and it’s never worked.

Then blame the right coach at least. Holy bejuzus. Brown does the special teams shit. I know everyone has a hard on for Cronin being a big pile of Eakins shit, but Brown runs that play

maybe there's a reason so many teams just stick with the revolving door of the same coaches lol.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Lucky for Terry no one in the media gives a shit what he says or thinks, otherwise that missing $7M might have some consequences.

 

[Rybread86]

Lol ok

 

[KelVarnsen]

Naw I agree, he’s a moron for how much he benches him, but this game however I don’t necessarily disagree with. Z has had 0 offensively threatening plays this game really

Pretty hard to have offensive creativity while being the only guy the coach benches for trying stuff on the offensive end. If Cronin stays and he probably will, I almost hope Z asks for a trade.

Like I said, they watched Goon last night.

It’s not the worst idea, but I don’t trust Johnston to do anything with a rebound. Also, we don’t take point shots. Or any shots.

I still don’t know what to do with Terry. Definition of inconsistent

That’s fair

You are not going to win games with only 16 SOG. You are almost hoping the opposition goalie is having a Swiss cheese night, lol.

Thank goodness for Leo, thought we were getting shut out again tonight. It’s been that kinda season.

Does anyone here have Bruce Boudreaus phone number..? No..?

Nobody in this string of comments you replied to even blamed Cronin for the decision. They just said it was a bad decision in general. You went well out of your way to defend him though. And none of us know who made the choice to put Johnston out there anyway, and it doesn’t even matter. It was dumb.

Can't bench him, too boring.

 

[Leonardo87]

3 Stars

1 - Wright
2 - Carlsson
3 - Bjorkstrand

Carlsson earned that one, hopefully in the last 5 games can stay motivated.

He's a horse now, so motivation is carrots and oats.

He looked like the other side of the horse tonight, and not the back side, lol.

I'm not even trying to say I trust Johnston with anything. But I understand what the coach was thinking and it makes sense. You are trying to get some big bodies in there to cause some confusion and create a block. Johnston is supposed to be a pilar, nothing more

 

[Mr Rogers]

Does anyone here have Bruce Boudreaus phone number..? No..?

Bruce would’ve been a layup hire, Seems like Pat might’ve big-brained this one

 

[Boo Boo]

Im normally completely in the camp of giving another season to see how the coach can reimplement a system once they have a year of familiarity and another offseason to regroup but Cronin is really REALLY testing me

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

I REALLY hope Gauthier can keep his college games going.

Really don’t want him here with this guy behind the bench. What’s the actual point of playing one or two games?
