GDT: Early Bird edition: Hawks @ Nucks, 16 Nov 2024, 9 PM CT

[Malagahawks]

I’m really not worried. It’s not just him, there’s absolutely no offense at all happening on this team.

Absolutely right, can't defend, score & keep getting outhustled/outworked. CB98 with that terrible turnover. This team is going nowhere.

"I give up. Kyle, do something."

A wild thing to say in November

Yeah, like fire my incompetant arse!! He is not getting through and it seems they have tuned him out.

 

[Malagahawks]

Team is easily the worst in the league with Jones out. Guaranteed top 3 pick.

Might as well be 1OA.

Bert and TT have been absolutely terrible at even strength

TT is very similar to getting Saad back a second time. Everyone thinking we were gonna get a much better player than the guy that left. I don’t see it at all.

Bedard in the worst slump of his life and you can smell the lack of confidence on him. Foligno and Donato the only ones who are generating a hint of offence at even strength.

We have no push from the backend especially without Jones. It was anemic even with him. And we have no one other than Bedard who can make a play at even strength and now he’s unraveling a bit.

That Luke comment to the media is definitely odd for November. I definitely think something is gonna have to happen. A move, a call up, something. I don’t see Richardson getting canned but comments like that by him aren’t smart.

This can’t be real. (I know it is)

I've never coached professional hockey, but in the couple decades I spent coaching, I have never replied to a situation with:

"There's not really much we can do."

What an absolute fraud of a coach.

One of the most important rules of leadership is to never ever say you dont know what to do even if you dont know what to do!

Gives me vibes to when JC gave up and gave the players the dry erase board to draw up their own play.

I see the same problem in that picture--who is going to go to work getting the puck? Plenty of guys there who want to shoot.

 

[Blackhawks]

Funny how people are always blaming the coach when he’s dead right on, the players suck bollz, what is he gonna do create 1st liners? The team is filled with 3rd and 4th liners. He’s clearly saying our GM is garbage, everyone siting up there in the office seats watching the game should be fired NOW, before we waste 3 more years and lose Bedard. This is pathetic bottom feeders trash of a team. I don’t understand how people here are so lost and don’t see the root of the problem, it’s mind numbing reading this coach blaming stuff.

 

[GIADF]

Both the roster and the coach are bad, and instead of one rising to the occasion they're both dragging each other even further down.

Exactly. This guy is no leader.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Funny thing is this roster is actually upgraded from last season (TT, Bertuzzi, healthy Hall) a more experienced Vlasic. No Korch or Tinordi. Soderblum so much better. Murphy healthy.

And they are worse.

98 is a big reason for that
