Yep, we've been letting in early goals since the Lundqvist days.I agree to an extent. But this team, comprised of the same guilty players, did the same under Quinn and Gallant. This group starts games flat and unprepared for years. If the players simply WON’T come ready to play what can the coach do? It isn’t the kids. They’re showing up - maybe that’s the coach getting through to the ones who are WILLING to listen. The Zibanejad, Kreider, Panarin, Fox, Lindgren, Trouba, Miller, Lafreniere, Shesterkin crew is the group that routinely shows up looking hungover or like they’re out for a Sunday stroll and they’ve been doing that long before Laviolette took over. The culture the vets have propagated is the problem, IMO. I would still want a new coach next year, but only if he’s getting a roster that’s been purged of the bad influences and lazy “leaders”. Otherwise, I don’t think 20 coaching changes would make a difference.
Would be great if it is a Drury jersey.Somebody in the crowd needs to toss their jersey on the ice.
