Biggest problem with Gallant-led team: we struggle way too much to score 5v5

You can be doing all the right things, but those things can be just half or 3/4 of what you could be doing. How about some stuff-in goals, some jam plays, some screens, some gamesmanship-type plays to get in the goalie's head?

They do those things. Those are also reflected in the analytics. They're just not getting rewarded for them yet.

Again, when those things don't result in goals it's easy to think "well they're just not doing them enough!" and not notice the number of times guys are getting rebounds, creating screens, tips, stuff ins, and it just not result in a goal.
When the puck starts going in suddenly it's finally they're doing it right! even if nothing changed

I feel like we had this exact thread and a thousand others like it in 13-14 which is why I'm not on the suicide squad

sooooo many "no team toughness" "softest lazy team in the NHL" "losers who don't care about winning" "wish we had players that hate to lose" "need coach messier to scream at them" threads and posts and they all went out the window when Biron f***ed off to the shadow realm and we stopped shooting 3%

The difference between “freedom fighters” and “terrorists” is entirely dependent on their shooting/save % lmfao

Should have found a way to keep Buch. I really hated that trade .

Coudl've been done, easily. Don't sign Goodrow and f*** Reaves. Move Kreider at the TDL etc.

We could've literally kept Buch to the deadline or until the off-season, we forced a bad trade. We would've gotten at least the same deal if we kept him a little bit longer.

I was against the trade since day 1. We got older and worse by trading Buch.

Goodrow, Reaves, Nemeth, Tinordi + Buch trade etc were part of the Master Plan that summer to get TuFFr.

Shitty moves by an overrated GM.

They’re not good defensively either. Shesty covered the fact they’re bad and let up a lot of high percentage chances last year with a historic season. This years he hasn’t been as good and they’re blowing leads.
