You are always going to take penalties like that when you're clearly getting outworked all over the ice.
 
We're the definition of a pretender with this current roster. Horrible at actual hockey (5 on 5).. and now we're giving up leads. Maybe we're good enough by playoffs to just get by at even strength, and let our power-play carry us (much harder in post-season).

Seattle, a dead-last hockey team, has recorded a season-high in shot total and there's still a few minutes to go.
 
Didn’t Gorton promote Drury? Not really on Sather. As for the other departments when was the last time that was changed? I agree there should be changes. But it’s not to Sather or anyone of a higher position. It should be the jobs that are handled behind the scenes that Directly involve the players.
The point is, whether you think it's Sather, or if it's Dolan, or if it's just been passed down a chain of promotions, or if you think it's the f***ing Boogeyman, it doesn't matter. What matters is that the mentality hasn't really changed around this organization. Either the same people are putting together these departments or they think the same way as the people who used to put together these departments.

It's not just that this team is bad, it's that they're bad and they think they're good. The only way to explain the persistence of some of these issues is that the team doesn't think there are issues.

Matter of fact, you wanna talk about tinfoil hat, how about "well it's obviously Jed Ortmeyer!" from all these people who couldn't pick Jed Ortmeyer out of a photo lineup.

I don't think it's one person, I think it's culture. My point about Sather is that he's a direct holdover from our culture over the last 20 some odd years. He's a constant.

Mostly importantly, I'm tired of sitting here saying "it's on the coach and the next coach will fix everything." I've been saying that for like 8 years.

Reactions: CLW and effen
why is it weird to think that when all of our top picks are forced to become Jed Ortmeyer?
I'm pretty sure no one is forcing Lafreniere or Kakko or Chytil to never pull off a deke or crank a 95 MPH slapper.
