Soooo, what's Bruce Boudreau up to these days? I imagine he would at least kiss some life into our forward group and get the defense from abysmal to below average within a month or two.
We barely beat San Jose without their best player. If it weren't for the fact that San Jose is a disaster of a hockey team, that was a performance we'd lose to most of the league with. Our only good, even passable game so far was against Utah.We’ve lost to the teams that are better than us and beat the teams we could realistically be better than. Hard for me to be too upset about this start of the season
he's old and done coaching, at least at the nhl level. he's also not someone you hire to coach a rebuilding teamSoooo, what's Bruce Boudreau up to these days? I imagine he would at least kiss some life into our forward group and get the defense from abysmal to below average within a month or two.
where's mctavish been so far this season?
Dont get me started on him... Sometimes I feel like his Hockey IQ is way below than where it should be..where's mctavish been so far this season?
Cronin blames lack of urgency, slowness:
I hope he's not bag skating the guys
He looks frustrated too
I have an unpleasant feeling that McTavish will become the biggest blemish on Madden's drafting record. I just don't see how he'll become anything deserving his draft spot.where's mctavish been so far this season?
He's a top 6 player if he gets played as a winger IMO. I don't think he has 'it' to be the main player on his line (which is what you expect from your centre).I have an unpleasant feeling that McTavish will become the biggest blemish on Madden's drafting record.

He has a shot, but he doesn't use it. He has a frame, but he's not aware enough to use that to generate offense. He's not a good enough passer or a good enough skater. That's not a top six player unless he really starts developing by leaps and bounds. They're counting on him becoming a ROR type player, but I'm not sure he has it in him.
You have to wonder if flipping the C responsibilities between Z and McT would help him find his stride. I am not sold on Z being a natural center, as I have said before elsewhere, but McT as the line driver is clearly not doing him any favours.He's a top 6 player if he gets played as a winger IMO.

I said it last week but right now he's being asked to play a game which basically exploits all his weaknesses and minimises his strength, it's terrible coaching.
