Seattle needs to shake up that roster. He's doing everything he can to get depth scoring and he's not getting anything. Wright couldn't score in an empty net 10ft out.
Gourde 0g 3a through - 5.1M...at least that contract ends in the summer
Yeah it's odd how bad the depth scoring has been this year. Meanwhile Eberle, McCann, and Beniers have been good. Disco is trying a ton of shit too so something will stick. I think one of the biggest issues is he's having to make Wright work and it's just not working for any coach there. They need to deal his ass for a player that works for them. They've done jack shit for Disco with that roster.
I think Florida and NYR are both deep teams but it’s freakin crazy. Puts how we’ve handled the last several years to shame.
How is that possible? They fired a veteran former Cup winning coach for an unproven commodity (at the NHL level). I thought that wasn't allowed.
What they never understand about that statement is if you fire Mike Sullivan you're looking for a Mike Sullivan. But the Mike Sullivan we have isn't even that Mike Sullivan anymore.
It's not allowed if you've got an ownership group full of Masshole Chowderheads who don't know or give a f*** about hockey, they just know they bought a team and it says on Sullivan's resume he won back to back Cups once.
I know it's a crude comparison, but honestly the defense of "then who do you replace Sullivan with, huh smart guy?" reminds me of the relationship thing where someone sticks with a significant other who cheats on them and treats them like crap all because "maybe the next bf/gf might murder me in my sleep". Might as well stay with the disrespectful cheater since the next one might be Jack the Ripper!
It's funny how much FSG latched on to Sullivan and he's done jack shit since they bought the team and keep praising him while buying the team because they've been contenders each year but their blind faith in Sullivan won't let them see why this team isn't one anymore - Mike Sullivan. Lol
Woodcroft is a better coach than a fair few in this league. He shouldn't be out of work like this just because of a bad start to a season.
I put Woodcroft in the same category of coaches as Sturm. They are young, upcoming coaches with new ideas.
I still like Todd Nelson. Sturm was terrible at being the powerplay coach before he took the ahl job. Woodcroft is intriguing for sure, the bloke is ugly as sin though lol.
I feel like if Sid ran the lines it'd be no different than what Sullivan has run. Love Sid the player but he's probably going to make everyone hate Rust even more.
Just woke up n seen mcdavid with a goose egg. The bliss is amazing
