The kids are the ones that scored the goals to make this a game and now you already know that they're going to just stuff the veterans back out there to try to tie the game instead of feeding the kids more minutes

Some work ethic and tenacity would be nice.

Berard, Cuylle...they have that. Laf has that when he turns it on. I think Othmann and Sykora can play in that mold.

Trocheck can play like that.

I'd like a coach who would instill a bit more work ethic and actually hold players accountable. If Laviolette is trying to do that now, it's probably too little, too late on his part.

Feelin' good on a Wednesday
Throughout my adult life I’ve done some work for Unions during contract negotiations and the skilled work groups would lose their minds over the unskilled groups making a livable wage. The skilled group felt that they were taking less in income and benefits to subsidize the unskilled group.
In the NHL there appears to be an opposite effect.
There is a finite amount to be divided amongst the players. The Stars take the lions share at the expense of the rest of the group. There are players aged 26 and up who need to uproot themselves and their families every year at less than desirable wages.
So I can only imagine when a player demands that much of the pie, which then causes the organization to move out respected veteran leadership it may bring out resentment whether warranted or not.
Probably a fair point but I'm left to wonder what they thought the deal was coming in?

This isn't new, ESPECIALLY in pro sports and def not in a cap system

Ok, coach you can play hard ball, but you're putting me out when you need me. Jokes on you.

Vets are coach killers but Lavy continues to tie himself to those anchors and deserves to drown along with them at this point. He had an opportunity to do something respectable here.
