So its 2-1 going into the 3rd. Time for a big goal and to out shot the opponent right?
Wrong, Canucks get outshot 17-6.
To me, that shows you the type of character this team has right now. Willie has clearly lost the team. Guy is beyond incompetent.
I've been itching to express this thought. It seems the more he pulls his benchings in the third period, his overplaying the vets in the third, relying on guys like Bart over a Tanev for ice time, his refusal to put the best possible PP out there, ignoring the Sedins request for the RHs, using guys like Dorsett late when the team needs a goal or is defending to hold on, his daily shifting of his lines even when he isn't dealing with injuries, and his moronic 3on3 matchups it could be possible that he is losing the confidence of a core group who can't understand it either. The kids sitting every third like they are dog meat can't be keeping a high confidence level with the consistent total lack of faith shown in them. Can't believe the Sedins are on board with what's happening. They are very astute students of the game and this must be causing their hockey minds to grind all kinds of sparks and metal shavings. Remember they supported Torts too like the veteran pros they are, but they weren't in favor of his tactics
If it ain't broke don't fix it. If it is broke and you don't fix it, how do you explain it.
Yeah, he just might be losing this group more and more game by game. It's a more subtle fade than the Torts letdown, but it's like a slow burning fuse. Each guy is second guessing a little bit more here and there with each debacle. Like standing on thin ice in the morning with sun shining and above freezing temps forecast for the afternoon. You know you are going to fall through, but it's just going to take so ******* long and you won't know when until it happens.
