Le sigh.

Seriously, scratch the Staals. There are guys playing worse than they are, but if you do it, it'll send a giant shock through that locker room, and they need it.

I'm only OK with this if we make Faulk C and Skinner and Gerbe As in their replacement. :laugh:

I don't think Muller is the problem. I also don't think it's the Staals. It's the fact that the players have no faith in Peters. Therefore they have little motivation and the offense has suffered.
Well, if they have no faith in Peters they better use their ******, overrated ability to score in order to change that. But they can't... because they blow.

I just don't see how you can blame a complete and utter lack of scoring on the goalie, no matter how awful that goalie is.

Well, I've got Stepan on my fantasy team too.

For those keeping track, that's Killorn and Stepan from my fantasy team that we've woken up in the last two days.

On Philly I've got Streit and L. Schenn. Expecting 6 points combined from them.

Oh, and Semin is looking the like Russian who is milking his contract like every told us he would. What a waste of a signing that will turn out to be with the Staals still in charge of everything.

Semin has been the 2nd best player on the ice the last 2 games. And the best the last 6

If that's truly the case, then they're even more mentally weak than I thought.

So just keep him because of that?

Yes. Muller should be the line in the sand.

The players should start taking responsibility for their poor play, not the coaches. If we keep this revolving door of coaches going, the players are always going to assume it's the coaches fault and continue to play their ****** game.

Muller is way too afraid to do that.

Seriously, this is basically a JR team with Muller designed to take the fall.

Problem with Muller, IMO, is that he rarely calls players out. All the talk of accountability, I haven't heard any of that except after the Penguins game, and he didn't name names then. He needs to take more of a hard stance until they turn it around.

Yet he still needs to be better.

But it's not just him. I'm not singling him out. He and his linemates needs to be better. They've bother sucked. That's pretty much not arguable, IMO.

He's got a personal vendetta against a guy just trying to earn a living, even if he isn't very good at it. He's that insane sports fan that feels athletes owe him something.

It's pretty sad, really.

really bugs yall doesn't it? LOL... Its like that crusty scab... Just gotta pick at it...

My point? I want him sent back down to never return to this locker room again. But Im cool with 4 softies a game.

Hes got a losing AHL record. In no way does he remotely deserve to be here.

His very presence fu*** over this team's mentality and confidence. If you cant see that, youre blind. He needs to go. NOW.

Like I said earlier, I highly doubt JR gets fired. He'll leave on his own terms.

That said, if the above does happen, I hope the person taking his place isn't like those idiots that were in charge of Tampa Bay in 2008-09.

I stopped watching after 2-0 .

If this team had a shred of self respect left they'd pull what Philly did to Washington last night. I want to see Peters skate the length of the ice and beat Lundqvist against his will. At least then he'd have some worth.

**** this team. JR is and old wrinkled ball bag, and Muller is such a punchy paluka he looks like he smoked a bowl before each interview.

Not saying you're wrong but we have no idea what gets said behind closed doors.

Isn't Ron Francis pretty much a lock for the next GM of this team?
Well, considering this team hasn't cared about winning since 2006, probably.

But if they ever won't to win with any kind of regularity, they'll hire a GM from outside the organization. We all know that's not happening.
