Any chance we can lure David Carle in the off-season

Yeah, Avs might be the most conservative organization in sports when it comes to coaching personnel. The Vatican has had more turnover than them.

I don’t see a full gutting unless they miss the playoffs entirely. Then yeah, they’re ALL gone, even Parkkila won’t survive that. If they have anything less than a deep playoff run, then we might see assistants swapped out.

Don’t think it’s just the Avs. It’s Kroenke. Malone is carried by Joker and keeps his job. Not that he’s an issue but McVay seems to have had a longer leash with the Rams than most. Arteta has stuck around despite massive bottle jobs and somehow winning less trophies than ETH. He also kept Wenger around for a long time for some pretty modest to underwhelming success for a club of Arsenal’s stature and resources. It’s a weird pattern with KSE teams

So couple trends I have seen for the whole season:

-PP strategy is obviously scouted by other teams. More movement or something is needed. Just passing isnt gonna cut and changing personel isnt gonna make it work.
-And oh boy the pp backpass at the blueline is killing us most of the times, just dont do it for the love of god.
-I wanna vomit every time when I see Avs pressuring on the opposition end by sending 2 guys from opposite sides and no middle coverage. Every time its an easy pass to middle and 4-3 to our end.
-Too many shots are going outside the net, even from the top guys, its pathetic at this point.
-When passing for 1 timer its usually missplaced or too difficult and blocked.

And the most obvious struggle from everyone is the freaking movement of responsibility to score to the next guy by passing to someone else, and usually in the end the pass will fail. Just shoot the puck even from difficult places.

Mostly I have no issue on the roster or with staff. More than ever now when we have actual goalies. Its just that the monkey in the Avs back is growing bigger and bigger. The pressure to succeed seems to overcome them at the moment and its so visible in the rink.

Just freaking relax and do what you are capable....
