Why not both?

Sure why not? I'm beyond over it.

Who you gonna grab? Boudreau? The problem with removing Bednar is you're getting rid of a known thing and with the track record on coaches this club as had, we could do a lot worse.

IMO this is a roster problem. Bednar coaches the way we want to play. The roster isn't deep or skilled enough, nor can it stop pucks.

How we want to play, and how were able to play with this lineup are two different things. Bednar needs to adjust his system for the players we have and who's on the ice. Stop letting every defensemen have a green light when it's the 3 and 4 lines out there.

I wouldn't mind a coaching change, coaches have a shelf life as mentioned. But who are we going to replace him with? Monty already went to the Blues, only option out there is Coach Q and we know how he is with goalies.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Seeing more of the goals against, holy f*** Georgie, you may as well be setting up the Stars with empty net one timers

 

[EdAVSfan]

If we fired bednar, who would be interim?

And who would stop pucks?

He's so f***ing bad. It's literally unbelievable that he gets to play NHL hockey on a nightly basis.

Then he needs to adjust accordingly to the limitations of the roster. Are the Wild really THAT much stronger on paper than the Avs? Look at what they've managed to accomplish with that roster.

 

[Muffin]

Please include CMac as well and Salic if he’s not open to changing the style of this team

CMace earned himself more time with the deadline last year

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Just play the third with the empty net

Absolutely checks out.

Colorado Ambulanche hockey.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I’m usually quite sarcastic about tanking, but at the rate this team is getting drowned by their goaltending there’s a good chance the guys just shut down from frustration and we are looking at a top-10 pick

 

[The Merchant]

It doesn’t help when the top guys are doing nothing

We have three guys in the top-10 for scoring. There's only so much you can ask. Sometimes you need a depth goal. Sometimes you need to win a game 2-1 or 3-2. This team can't.

 

[forsbergavs32]

They already played the 2nd with an empty net

 

[expatriatedtexan]

So when do we call up one of the M&Ms down in the AHL for a look-see.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

They already played the 2nd with an empty net

Empty net wouldn’t have kicked out those rebounds

How about the deadline the year before that? Or this offseason?

It's a fair point you and the others made. But I go back to quality of coaches available. We haven't made the roster changes we should to take advantage of Bednar's strengths. Of we move on from him, it has an even bigger chance of killing the season than saving it IMO. Unless you can bring in a top coach, you might as well ride him out til the offseason and jettison Georgie, throw some assets for another defender and 3rd line center.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

This season is cursed

 

[Vaslof]

Georgiev failed, Annunen failed, Kahkonen failed. I think the answer is obvious. Recall Trent Miner.

 

[The Merchant]

The bad has certainly outweighed the good at this point.

Ya I agree. Season is toast either way at this point.

Legendary rubbish performance by Georgiev. Every time the puck goes around his feet, it's an auto goal.
