We pissed away a decade.. it’s been so f***ing long that everyone I know around my age range has gone from being hopeful about our futures then to now having mid life crisis.
As I said in the last game, I hate this ‘goaltending isn’t an excuse because we also have a high shooting % argument’.
PDO in a team sense doesn’t default to 1.
This team has a ton of high-percentage shooters and are built to be running a high team shooting %. The high shooting percentage isn’t luck - it’s sustainable. Obviously Horvat’s is crazy but Pettersson/Boeser/Miller/Garland/the entire blueline are all running below career averages.
This team as built if performing as expected should be driving a high PDO - lots of quality shooters and an elite #1 goalie.
Instead we’re receiving some of the worst goaltending of this century.

Colliton is going to be our next head coach next year
This is what happens when the worst defensive team in the entire NHL gets AHL-quality goaltending.
Teams must be salivating at the chance to play this soft, horrific defensive team. If you're in a slump, the Canucks will help you get out of it. This team gave up four 2-1 breaks in the first 10 minutes. I mean how can you really expect to win a road game when you're that porous defensively?
I think by now most of these players know they're going to be done once again by early April. But who cares? More that half their roster has long-term contracts. They're going to get paid regardless of how many games they win, or how many goals they give up.
You have to feel for Boudreau, a journeyman player who had to scratch and claw to stay in the league. He ends his career coaching this 'country-club' team that simply doesn't have the will or discipline to play defense.
I guess a lot of these players will hit their scoring bonuses, and will scatter to their cottages and high-end homes for another long off-season. Where is Bill LaForge when you need him? No pride, no hustle and no desire.

We need to stop with this. We are not falling to first overall. We literally will finish 2 games above or below .500. That’s it.
Imagine if the Jets got any PPs how many they would score?

But Bruce bump, can't run a wrecking ball through this incredible lineup. they deserve more chances and it might hurt players feelings.
We need like the Diego Siemone or Max Allegri of hockey.
Let’s play some terrorist hockey

I remember a specific sports team I was on in my 20s. I was a top player on the team for a couple years, then just a key part of the group. A few years later, the "core" was still basically the same but we had some new players, including one that played my position but was simply better than the version of me I had become due to age, injuries, etc. Still considered everyone my friends.
Just to say, I do feel bad for Brock Boeser. It's a shitty position to be in. I'm sure he knows he isn't the guy he used to be more than anyone and it kills him.
But man, they can't play him on the PP1. Or in the top six. He's just not that guy anymore.
I think a fresh start would be great. A buyout and a short contract that pays him like 3 million a year would take the pressure off with the appropriate expectations for where he was as a player.

I don’t know there is any coach’s like those guys. If Simeon’s is on the bench he would’ve fought and beat the shit out of OEL and Myers already.
