I didn't look at the line before the game but I believe W Mich was the higher ranked team and outplayed DU pretty handily in that game. DU's goalie (Davis) kept them in it.
- They don't have anything.
- Even if they did no sense in harming their development by putting them out there with this downtrodden crew.
Next question...
Does Roy actually have the gall to leave Boqvist, Perunovich, and Reilly out of the line-up on Saturday?
It's not just the stats from guys like Pelech and Pulock and Romanov - they looked burned out a bit, even if Pelech has decided to just simply be everywhere on the ice (although not in the spot he should be enough).
It'd be quite the slap in the face of these other guys to leave them sitting around after this performance.
If we don't clean house it will be another long year next year with the fanbase completely disinterested and UBS empty. Season ticket holders and going to start bailing at a record pace.
I completely disagree. I think NYI fail because they can't sustain the max effort they very often put out. No players can in the NHL. But Roy gets frantic, so Adam Pelech is now running around like he's a rookie. And if he's going to take out Lennox after one goal, my read is that he cannot cope with his own terrible judgment in making the move to begin with.Look, i have some reservations about Roy, as much as i like him. However, there are great coaches that with a team like ours, have and would have looked like utter crap. Roy deserves...ok, maybe deserves is a touch too strong, but i believe he is a solid coach that definitely should be given a year or two to mold our team, maybe three....without Lou!
He has proven to be an able teacher, now he just needs teachable students....some with the ability to use their brains....that have a desire to actually play, instead of just get paid...oh, and with some bloody talent!
