All the feel good chemistry is gone from last year. you can't build a team for a playoff run and then lose 6 players and expect to be as good as you were last year.

Why trade Reeves if hes a leader? Where's his replacment? This team has vets that are talented but aren't competitive. Zabinjad, Panarin, Krieder.... Fox is worn out already.

Poorly constructed team this year.... But GG is not putting youth in a position to shine, he's just not
 
You think they’ll post the Vally stuff on their YouTube channel? Didn’t get to see it cause Comcast thangs.
 
I don't want to excuse the kids, but I'm still going to do it.

Artemi Panarin, #72 at even strength points
Mika Zibanejad, #88 at even strength points
Chris Kreider, #98 at even strength points

They are basically producing like 3rd liners, if it wasn't for the PP.
This needs to be pinned to the laf thread

I just feel like, if Panarin were playing well, is anything different?

Do we really think Stutzle, Hughes, Zegras, or Caufield succeed where Lafreniere and Kakko have failed?

We keep looking at individuals when it's clearly a systemic problem.

Even the coach. I can agree that Gallant isn't it right now but is the next coach, hired by the same two idiots and their latest figurehead, going to fix the organization?
 
Surprising too since the big line from the team media is "accountability" with him - Mollie alluded to that being a problem with Dolan. You would think that's such an easy thing to be phony about even if you sincerely think it's all the "puck luck" or whatever, they call it coachspeak for a reason
One of Gallant’s weaknesses prior to be hired was this sort of thing

There’s a reason he doesn’t last long in these jobs
 
That’s not the point….young players are successful because they continue to get chances even when they make mistakes. We however don’t give young players those opportunities

They gave Schneider and Lindgren those chances to succeed here. Upfront unless you are Dom Moore or Jesper Fast type of forward no success happens for a skilled forward here

Not a chance. They usually shy away from reposting the critical stuff. I'm sure vally had a producer ask him to tone it down during the commercial break

at least Vally put the luck card to rest. 99 percent of the time you make your own luck. there is no passionate forechecking. It is as soft as you get kinda hockey
To an extent yes but they have had an incredible amount of bad luck this year. Another 4 posts tonight. Again, that doesn't excuse them from playing like ass.

No and that’s what I’ve been saying over and over again lol
 
this team quit.... in December 🤣

The fact that they didn't respond to Trouba is all you need to know.

Pathetic and embarrassing. I'd throw stuff on the ice if I were at MSG

maybe the team wants a new coach too? Maybe they understand they have no chance to win a Cup with this guy?
 
Has there been any rumours/rumblings out of the Laf camp regarding what's going on?
Less likely from Krav/KK due to having less contacts in the US, but if the kids aren't happy with what's going on surely there should a few off the record and "sources are speculating" type leaks to reporters about them being pissed off with the way they are being used.
Maybe even start getting the home town media to talk up 'go home' trades

How the f*** are we out here blaming laf?
He brings absolutely nothing to the table. Jimmy Vesey gets more ice time because Jimmy Vesey is capable of actually making hockey plays at an NHL level more often than once in a blue moon. Do you really think forcing Kakko and Lafreniere out for a couple more shifts is really going to make a big difference? It's comical. The guy carries the puck into the zone, pulls up and then gets attacked by the boards and loses the puck with no one within a few feet of him.
 
Quenneville can save this team.

Trotz might win more games here but essentially will have similar problems imo
