You can basically fire the entire 3rd and 4th lines into the sun at this point. I'm tired of all of them. Does Lawson Crouse do anything? Dudes like 6'4 215 pounds...hit someone if you are going to be an offensive black hole. O'Brien is god awful at hockey but at least he brings some energy.
I've said nothing all season. This game broke me. Irrational and uneducated takes are swirling in my head. I hate this team sometimes. Even when we win it feels like a miracle. When's the last time we dominated for 3 periods?
Also stop with trying to set up the perfect pass or play every freaking time you have the puck. Throw the puck on net, get to the crease and earn yourself a goal. If I have to watch another dog shit cross ice pass between 2 defenders that gets easily broken up I'm going to lose my mind

I'm back to feeling like a coaching change might be a good idea. Quenneville is still out there, isn't he? (Probably a pipe dream)
There's been talk of accountability with BA and AT. I think the biggest issue with accountability is on the ice with the players. Sloppy play, one of the most penalized teams in the league, a third line full of passengers most nights, inconsistent efforts... on and on. Every win does feel lucky. A big part of it may be watching the team shoot itself in the foot all the time. They look like they're trying to sabotage every game.
I think it's time to stop coddling these guys. Time to hold AT accountable for not holding the players accountable, IMO. Maybe it is time to sacrifice the coach and send a message.

Season is nearly over … middle of january!
Meaningful games….
Fire Armstrong and Tourigny now.
This one takes the same old coyote way like nearly every year.
They had their time, money and more picks we can count on.
This crap is terrible to watch.

I didn't think your team was as bad as y'all make it seem. I trust that it will take a couple of bad years to redress the team and wash off the desert stink.
The only thing I can say is to be patient. There's no way you can ever be as bad as the sabres.

Some bad years…. Like most of the other 20 before.
There is sometimes an important point in a franchise, a simple question.
Do you want to play succesfull, than you have to change things that doesnt work (watch the red wings streak).
If you are are proud enough to be part of the show, ok, thats called the coyotes way.
This rebuild has taken time enough. Guys like Keller will leave the show soon, they want to play playoff games in their career.
There is no team in sports history, fans where more patiened than these.
But you cant get a new bit fanbase, with the same old crap hockey.
Do something, now!
Like that every year. It's going to be very interesting how this team plays the year out, and if there are meaningful games in March. The second wild card is starting to look like it may take a hot streak for Utah to get back in the mix.
We take lots of penalties because players are behind on their assignments and are cheating to a little to catch up. Part of this is coaching and accountability but I also think a part of it, in Bears defense, is a misconstructed team. While Cooley/Hayton might be a 1C/2C, they aren't right now. On D, we don't have a 1D or 2 defensemen that can shut down a top line.
We are a mismatched mix of players and it doesn't seem like we have a team identity. What are we focused on and what do we do well? When GMs bring in or draft players, the coach some times will play those players up a line or in more situations to appease the GM, some of that could be going on too.
Its a tough time of year, teams heading for playoffs, seems like more of the same to me this year. I know we have more young players coming and a few injuries, but we need to start seeing more progress at some point, our 2-9 stretch is unacceptable.
Crouse has been having a terrible year. That line last year was our best line many nights, this year just the opposite. McBain has almost twice the hits of Crouse.
Can you tell me how to "cut and paste?" Why do you guys bitch and moan when the team is on a losing streak, and then high five when they are on a winning streak. Let the season play out. Then we will have ammunition one way or another. Give BA, AT and the players some rope and let's see who hangs themselves. One thing I don't like is when BA is interviewed everything seems like roses. He's happy with everything. Maybe he knows something we don't. Speaking of penalties, Utah is third overall, I don't think it is behind the play as you suggest, rather being undisciplined at times. I wish the media would ask BA some tough questions, instead of asking how he likes Utah.
