GDT: GM#11 LA Kings vs New York Rangers @12:30pm 10/28/18- Half Assed GDT Version!

somehow i'm optimistic about this one. brown in & quick out should have an effect like a shock therapy. i hope they wake up. it's time to wake up and this is the perfect occasion.

If we lose again, does Stevens finally get fired?

I sure hope so. I f***ing hate to wish for it but I hope we lose hard. Rangers are every bit as terrible as current-us and the Red Wings, another multiple-goal loss should at least throw some tear gas out. They're an outright-tank-and-rebuild team. I'm worried we're gonna get a boost from Brown and the Rangers being awful, but hopefully that's balanced out by Stevens and a matinee game. A win will give us "see? we're on the right track" hope and I'm not sure I can stomach that.

I’m hoping the afternoon game losing streak continues as well! Maybe since our players are such dodger fans they will be preoccupied with that game lol

Amadio to Ontario. ****ing garbage.

Everyone regressing at once is on the coaching staff, not an individual player who has exhibited explosive growth at every level of hockey.
This is why I have mixed feeling about firing Stevens.

I'm afraid that if they fire him, the team will improve just enough to put them in the black hole and we'll miss out on our opportunity to draft top 3.

On the other hand, having an ineffective coach can really hurt the development of younger players like Amadio/Kempe ect.

Tough situation, but I'd rather keep Stevens and tank than worry about Amadio's development.

I don't think Amadio was doing anything to warrant being in the NHL, you can blame coaching all day but Amadio has to take a step.

Same for Kempe and his 1 goal in his last 42 NHL games, that's not on Stevens. Just like Stevens was not responsible for Kopitar's-Brown's career years last year.
 
John Tortorella was on the Columbus dispatch podcast ,when asked about the new NHL:

John Tortorella "It's terrible we have pretty much somehow sucked all the emotion out of the game, the product on the ice is terrible". "Scoring is slighty up though so I guess the suits up top are happy about that".

Haha blunt and honest.

I agree but I think Amadio was less of a problem compared to others.
