Our defensive depth is awful. We're only one injury away from icing what we have now. Malinski, Middleton and De Haan are all number 6 dmen.
When half of your defense is filled with replacement-level or borderline replacement-level players, this is the result. Having only one guy waiting in the injury wings to remedy that is...not ideal

It's the details. This team is lacking in them right now. Playing loose, lackadaisical hockey with a lot of reaching and loss of coverage. This is happening up and down the lineup and I'm not confident that it's because it's just the regular season. They'll have a hard time just flipping that switch and tightening things up.

They do this shit every year. The difference is we had a bad start this season (goaltending), so we're farther back than we normally would be. Can't afford to give up any more points to shit teams.
 
Then I'd let Pratt come up with a new formula. He can't be worse than Bennett.
My point was that both need to go. We need two fresh voices and one of those needs to be someone the Avs would seriously consider as their next HC should things come to that.

Good effort by the boys so far. Can't expect to beat a good team like the rangers but they aren't giving up! Really proud of the team from top to bottom. I could see them building off of efforts like these and challenging for the wild card spot next season.
NYR is the reigning President Trophy winner. This game is our Stanley Cup! Go Avs!

I don't really know the dynamic the coaching staff has. Did Bednar pick Bennett as Pratt? Are those his boys? If Cmac fires them, is he going to be pissed? I'd definitely fire Bennett regardless. Pratt is at least turning around the PK. Pratt's issues always seems personnel related. That's never been f*** face Bennett's issue.
