Coaching is a serious problem.

Are we going to see growth, and start playing like how we ended last year?

or

the world ends.

Start playing like the end of last year? You mean when they lost 23 of their final 32 games?

We weren't losing how we are losing right now, there's a difference. I don't think we're as bad as everyone thinks right now. If anything it's good for this team to face the adversity now, learn from it and grow as the season progresses.

Looking at the state of world geopolitics, I'd say we probably could witness both at the same time the way things are headed...

That is the absolute truth of it.
There are no segments in any of these past three seasons that show us winning multiple games in a row.
Putting two together is a challenge all on it's own.

Yeah, it’s so ugly. And the analytics are worse than we could’ve imagined.

Nothing is going right and injuries have been brutal.

I have to believe that the injuries are a huge issue, having the greenest D Corp ever iced on an NHL team is a huge issue. They are basically looking like an expansion team which in reality should surprise no one. A healthy Habs team is in the mix...

Why is Marty going to improve in some of the areas he's been criticized for?
Can someone point out even one thing that looks any different from what we've experienced these past couple of seasons?
I don't even expect our special teams numbers will stand the test of time it's the same ole same ole.
The devil is in the details.

It’s ugly now but it was ugly last year too. They showed some fight but really it was one line that was hot then randomly Armia started playing well with Newhook.

But I agree there’s some regression, we are chasing the play. That’s not simply a personnel issue but a coaching one. We’ve seen teams with Patrice Brisebois as the 1D be better than this.
