I really miss when we were winning, and huffing our own farts.
Now, we're just stuck in a smelly fart-like area

As a 3rd pair, yes. 2nd pair, no. We’ve had Myers as 6m 3rd pair for 5 years and f***ing kept that idiotPaying him $5m was and is crazy for 5 years.
Something has to give with the power play. I was reading @Vector’s summary of Tocchet’s post practice interview and really didn’t like his response when asked about the PP - implied that the struggles have nothing to do with coaching and that it has a “really good structure”. The power play has been anemic since he took the reins and it’s disheartening to hear him abdicate responsibility. With our personnel and talent there’s just no excuse for it to be this ineffective at generating attempts.
Not wrong per se...but what's the fix here?
Swap bodies in/out trying to get someone with a different perspective? What else are you gonna do to "coach" a better Powerplay. The more coaching, the worse it usually gets.
Look who he was playing with. He was always a risky signing. He is not a line driver, he is a complimentary finisher. He can't produce unless someone else does all of the work.
Debrusk is a complimentary player that lacks high end skill and hockey IQ has always been a bit lacking. The beaming praise for a 40-50 pt player was always bizarre.I'm...honestly not sure what you're watching here. He's moving fast. He's clearly just playing a bit of a tentative game where he seems to be having a bit of trouble really integrating into the systems here.
He's been pretty darn good overall and especially as a defensive presence. He's just not scoring a ton. Which is obviously disappointing.
So did the Canucks.Missed the first two periods. What's going on with this game?

I'd rather have Zadorov for DeBrusk's contract than DeBrusk himself at this point.

His advanced analytics were inflated by being linemates with some of the best hockey players in modern Bruins history. We really needed more high end game breakers this off-season, especially with Pete playing so pitifully.
Skaters have been lethargic but Silovs and the PP have killed all momentum for the team.Missed the first two periods. What's going on with this game?
Myers with the worst pinch of the season led to a goal on the Devils’ first shot of the game, and things have somehow gone downhill since then.Missed the first two periods. What's going on with this game?
Looks like i made the right decision to not watch the game, i was playing FF7
That would be one approach and kind of fits my point he wants to run it. He said post game its not a coaching problem its a player problem. Last year i posted articles how he wanted control over it, it was a non negotiable.
My feeling you need to let a hughes or miller gain the zone, if there standing up at the line all you can do is dump a chase and win the puck, but they dont try anything new, I think hansen was on the radio talking about it yesterday mentioning this. Once they gain the zone its alot around the boards and attempts at tips or tip passes which are so hard to pull off consistently, just get in the middle of the ice and take a good shot.
None of that changes though, he just rotates players. Its the same adjustments over and over.
