Not completely his fault but once I saw confirmed that Silovs was starting - I already knew we were going to be blown out.

I’m surprised about the decision to start him, I guess Lankinen told the team he was tired. It would have made more sense to ease Silovs for the SJS game - now his confidence is completely shot.

Bad decision imo. Oh well onto the next

I'm not really convinced that it's a personnel thing. But they are clearly missing a top quality freelancer in the middle of it all.

I think the much bigger problem is just...how glued to their "spots" everyone is. It's so infuriating to watch.

I said the exact same thing last season. Our powerplay worked in the first half of last season because it was new. Once teams figured it out, Tocchet made virtually zero adjustments; a trend that has seemingly continued. It's his biggest Achilles' heel as a coach.

I don't know whether it's out of stubbornness or a genuine belief everything will work itself out, eventually, but I don't know how much more proof he needs the latter ain't happening.

I haven't felt that pissed off watching this team since Benning was still here.

Atrocious effort across the board. Silovs isn't an NHL goalie, as others have said. Pettersson looks worse than ever.
