That line doesn't work though. Bertuzzi is a third wheel net front guy and Teuvo is a perimeter skill guy. Line isn't fast enough off the rush to be dangerous and it doesn't have a puck retrieval guy.

Also doesn't really have a center.
It's a lineup of bad options. May as well load up on what little skill we have. What would your ideal Bedard line be?

Does anyone remember when Bedard entered the league and he was shooting the puck like 10+ times a game? Now he doesn’t shoot the puck at all.

The coaches have coached him to do this. They want him to suck. This is the grossest mismanagement of a player I’ve ever seen in my life. Fire Luke.

He means the two of them. We have barely seen Bertuzzi with Bedard at all.


Ah that makes more sense. As bad as Bertuzzi’s skating is, and with Bedard’s only being so-so…. I’m not sure I have an issue with the two being kept apart.

I can't take it anymore. This team is driving me crazy. I'm inclined to go buy a Harley and drive deep into the Arizona desert and not come out until Richardson is fired. I've tried to hold off on calling for his firing but I can't defend him anymore.

Bedard is struggling so he gets to play with offensive BLACK HOLE Joey Anderson? Luke, just dress yourself and skate on Bedards line. You would have just as much of an offensive impact as Anderson.

Richardson is trying to turn Bedard into a Selke winner. This reminds me of what Torteralla did with the Sedins. You need to let Bedard play to his strengths. He's an offensive wizard who should be allowed to cheat a little to score goals. Instead his green light has been taken away. But hey...at least he's responsible defensively, right? Just like Joey Anderson.

Richardson can't begin next season as the teams coach. I've seen enough.

While I think a lot of the criticisms have been over the top, and I do think that he has tightened up things defensively which is not nothing. I am coming around on the idea that he might not last The year for the simple fact that you can’t allow this Bedard thing to fester for much longer. I think the preference would be to keep him through the season and make the change then, it might have to happen before then if the offence doesn’t come around.
