Player Discussion Gerard Gallant

[EdJovanovski]

I like Gallant, but I don’t see how anyone can objectively say he’s had anything but a terrible playoffs tbh.

We’re 2 wins away from knocking off the back to back cup champions and going to the SCF

 

[huerter]

I don't even want to fight. Some of you GG defenders just defend a few things. Explain it to me so I can understand it.

1) 4th line ozone faceoffs ALL the time
2) Treating line 3 like it's line 4 minutes wise
3) Putting in Rooney over Hunt or Brodz
4) Trouba on PP2 (not that it mattered today cause we don't get PP's)

For 2...Why is it a mandate that the Messier line gets more minutes than the Gilbert line (I've outlawed using line numbers)?

That's true, but can you answer any of the questions I had?

At the very least he does inexcusable things and repeats those mistakes. Copp's been a no show this series and he basically has the ice time of Laf + Kakko.

I think if you read through GDT’s you’d see fans of every cup winning team complaining about their coach and his usage of players though lol. I’m sure he has his reasons, us fans especially on here also care more about our young players and their development. Coaches put out there whoever they think gives them the best chance of winning

How many cup winning teams have Kevin Rooney's though? Haha.

As a coach you look for your best match ups. Kevin Rooney had 75% wins in FO, I would out him in too in the offensive zone.

GG for the first time seemed really dejected after last nights game

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

I think Cassidy might be the right coach for this team. Gerard is an overrated no system coach.

 

[duhmetreE]

Special Teams and Goaltending were excellent.

Everything else is average to well below average.... that could be considered generous too.

Gallant reminds me a lot of Strome. I really like the guy. Great for the locker room. The on-ice product/decision making leaves A LOT to be desired.

 

[Inferno]

If he puts Ryan reaves in for kakko... I don't know how anyone can defend him.

Don't test me.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

if Rangers lose today should Rangers swiftly replace him either with Trotz or Cassidy?

Trotz no.

We need someone who can develop offensive talent in kids.

Trotz is too rigid to his defensive system I think.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

Trotz no.

We need someone who can develop offensive talent in kids.

Trotz is too rigid to his defensive system I think.

maybe because he often has teams that don't have a ton of scoring depth?

Maybe but I don’t think I’m willing to risk that.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

Maybe but I don’t think I’m willing to risk that.

we already pretty terrible at scoring other than PP, so I doubt he would hurt us offensively much, but would help a ton defensively.

We need to be helped offensively. Any coach I hire, if Gallant was to be fired, has to be good at scheming offensive production.

And developing kids.

 

[QJL]

We are going to get blown out and Gallant should be fired for sitting one of our best possession players.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

team looks dead in an elimination game. Time to interview other coaches. This is unacceptable. Gallant already choked in 5 games to Trotz's Capitals in Stanley Cup finals.

 

[QJL]

Hire Trotz!

 

[huerter]

You, person reading this, you wanted Gallant. Why should I trust you now that you want to get rid of him and make a new hire?

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

BTW he had entire season to finally name someone captain and still has not happened. is it now 4 years without a captain?

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

to lose 4 in a row in Eastern Conference Finals after winning all games prior including regular season shows you just got badly outcoached by a superior intellect.

 

[duhmetreE]

ALL OF GALLANT'S GALAXY BRAIN ROSTER CHOICES HAVE LED TO THE FIRST GOALS ALLOWED IN THE PAST 3 GAMES.

ROONEY
ROONEY
PLAYING STROME

guy is braindead

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

is this embarrassment what Gallant and Drury call hockey? this is pure garbage.
