Amen!

 

[EdJovanovski]

As I’ve said before, too bald, too round; reminds me too much of Gallant. His style of game is even more boring than our current one too. Hire Quinn

 

[duhmetreE]

I say he's more Washington than Islanders.

You need structure to win. We're not Colorado and we do not have the gamebreaking speed Colorado had

 

[irishlaxburger2]

His system certainly doesn’t facilitate it, but we’d be scoring more goals with him behind the bench than we are right now

We’d be scoring more goals with an orangutan behind the bench than we are right now

 

[LeetchisGod]

He squeezed a cup out of the perennially underachieving Caps and took an Isles team with average talent to two Eastern Conference finals. I'm sold.

They have a better chance to win a cup with Trotz than Gallant. That is what's important.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Fire Gallant, hire Trotz, lose some more, fire him. Rinse, repeat, never win it all.

Yea who the heck wants to win anyway?!

Winning with Trotz would be too easy. Need to gut it out with Gallant to really show everyone else!

They aren't winning a Cup with either until they understand Jimmy Vesey's face isn't the target they should be shooting for

This team just went to an ECF.You could put Jesus behind the bench and they ain't winning the Cup.Trotz isn't going to magically make them all shoot better

Care not at all about a cup. The goal is transformative excellence.

 

[irishlaxburger2]

The goal is to simply play Libor Hajek as much as possible without dropping below a .500 team

And gosh darn it, Gallant is doing just swimmingly at that right now

 

[EdJovanovski]

His system certainly doesn’t facilitate it, but we’d be scoring more goals with him behind the bench than we are right now

We’d be scoring more goals with an orangutan behind the bench than we are right now

We already have an orangutan behind the bench

 

[Machinehead]

I would

The team already can't score

 

[Kocur26]

We already have an orangutan behind the bench

And a knuckle deep nose picker to boot …

Who tf came up with that term?

 

[RangerBoy]

Trotz wants to be a GM. Drury isn't hiring his replacement.

Has Hajek been a problem?
How about we talk about the real weak link on D? The man wearing the C has been a dumpster fire. Forget the ridiculous contract. He's been awful by any standard. He's not even laying people out to distract the masses from his awful play.

 

[huerter]

Who tf came up with that term?

A HOFer.

Was Washington boring with Trotz? I remember the first year there were some growing pains...one of Ovi's worst seasons where Trotz played him on RW and wanted him to put some effort on defense. I don't remember the Caps being dead puck.

Maybe Trotz utilizes the talent he has? Isles and Preds didn't have enough talent so they had to trap. Washington was a great forechecking team.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Please god

 

[EdJovanovski]

Lmao

 

[effen]

There is a 0.0% chance Panarin, Zib, Kreider and Fox will play Trotz hockey. They already got Quinn fired and he let them run the show.

Hire him for the gong show and subsequent team quitting in 20 games. Miller would probably look better?

If Quinn couldn't get a young presumably coachable team to play N/S hockey despite publicly and privately begging for it for years I don't know what possesses people to think any coach will be listened to..the top players on 8 year contracts, that's security, baby.

 

[CasusBelli]

Last season was likely our peak; we might get to the second round if we make a timely coaching change, but I fully expect us to come back down next season (and trend further downward). This is the time to sell Mika and Kreider — while they still have value. Trouba too. Then let the kids learn structure and discipline under Trotz — with a proper skills coach.

It’s not a popular opinion; it’s not pretty hockey. But it’s likely what’s best for us looking beyond the next 2-3 seasons.
