System? What is it leave guys wide open and pass it to the other team in the neutral zone?
Like Blashill before - I honestly have no idea what 'system' these 2 coaches have employed.

No reasonable/consistent forecheck, dump and chase is a farce, limited skill throughout the roster, def situational awareness issues, near zero physicality, getting pinned in our end on a regular basis, challenged to make a crisp outlet pass, etc, etc.

This team has really no identity, part of that is on Yzerman, but truth be told this could actually look like a good NHL caliber team if the rights guy/s are behind the bench.

So I figured the problem is that I'm not drinking. So I made a Bulleit smoked Manhattan. But I am apparently out of vermouth. So I guess instead I'm having 3oz of bourbon with a splash of bitters, smoked.

This oughtta be interesting.

I’d be willing to try a coaching change and see if that sparks the team. Honestly I’m not that confident it would make much of a difference.

I am pretty concerned we prioritized the wrong things in the off seasons and now we have just made our beds at this point.

We needed to upgrade the blue line, not sign Tarasenko and Kane. I get the thought process there but watching this team it’s just painful to watch us try to defend and transition the puck out of our end.

I don’t know how we are not in on Chychrun or didn’t find a way to get one of Pesce or Roy. But unless we make a trade I think this team is going to just be hamstrung by our back end all year.

That is not accurate. It was reported that the Flyers were set on him and that Michkov wanted to go to the Flyers. I believe I read somewhere that MTL passed on him cuz he did not wanna go there. That one just did not work out.
Accurate ? Ya. Duh. I said would have been ideal. Not situational and something that was thought of.

Could have tried tho, seeing our “assets and prospect depth!”

Sheesh internet warrior out in full on accuracy, egh?!?

Right, but who? We all remember the insane contracts given out on July 1st. And the only player I think we should have signed was Matt Roy. But he also went for a pretty steep price. And we always have to remember: Sometimes players just do not want to come here.

You know what’s worse than giving out an “insane contract”?

Running it back with the same group you know isn’t good enough.

AKA this shit we’re watching now.

Ain't it great when the team trades away a vet D to open up a playing spot for a rook and that rook gets burned on his second shift to open the flood gates. Sends the team a shot of confidence in management lol.

TF you on about?^^ Kahunas do not do dick, if a player wants to play in another city. Tough.

Then you should`ve shipped out half the team. Pretty tough gig^^

What would you do? No one makes big trades 9 games into the season…. Danielson isn’t ready, Mazur hurt, wallinder hurt… other than firing Lalonde which is Moronic, it makes no sense
Riiiight.....Never a coach was fired early in the season due to poor performance of the team he was coaching.....Never happened :nod:

Wow just heard the fellas say 22 teams are .500.

Even with a loss tonight they're still way in this. They look horrible, bad and really bad, but have time to turn it around quickly.
