Anyone with a good head on their shoulders knows DJ's rope should have expired last season. This is just more of the same. No defensive system, no structure. Just a bunch of very talented individuals on the ice.

Fire the guy now before you have yet another lost season in November.

It's the same rope for four seasons.

He doesn't get a new rope every year.

Indeed.

Point is you simply cannot win in this league through pure talent. You could have a team with 12 Stutzles and 6 Sandersons and with DJ they'd still manage to miss the playoffs.

DJ’s parting gift was having Stutzle and Debrincat on the same team and playing them together for a total of 6 minutes.
In the entire 22/23 preseason he kept Tkachuk-Norris-Bath together, even in the split groups. He had cat with Stu. As soon as the season started, he decided to scrap the entire preseason chemistry building phase and put Norris with Cat. The guy is brain-dead.

I'm hearing some people preach patience on the post-game show, saying we're only six games in. Well, what happens when we're 10-15 games in with a record around 6W 9L? Do you really want this team to have to claw and fight their way back for the rest of the season?

Rip the bandaid off now and move the hell on from this guy.

Lot of talk of no system. No structure. Anyone able to elaborate on what they don’t like about the way the team defends?

Yeah the biggest problem is likely the lack of defensive system. Need to play defense first and take the offensive opportunities that get created by that solid 5 man system.

Not at all what we’re doing now. It’s too close to chaos too often. This isn’t pond hockey ffs.

Fix it ASAP

You’ll win some games in impressive fashion when you play the way we do with the skilled players we have. But it’s not an 82 game season winning formula. If the coaches don’t get that then replace them. 82 games. We need stability. And confidence in that structural stability.
