So is Monty and Sweeney on different pages? Has Monty lost the room? Or is the real question is Chris Kelly a NHL coach?

I would wait 3-4 more games

Something's broke for sure. Maybe this club needs a long runway or maybe they need a new pilot. I know folks were happy Leach was coming back but they look worse than they have in a long long time.

Maybe Pasta doesn’t get 2 bad penalties in first 8 minutes of second period that lead to 2 PP goals

The first one 11 seconds in a flat footed reach of stick to hands

The second an offensive zone trip at the end of a long shift that kind controlled play - inexcusable penalty

In between those two a bad wiff and interference on Wotherspoon ~ bad play all around ~ another PP goal

Team has laid a few eggs the past few games. But lots of teams struggle at different times during a long season, Colorado was 0-4 a bit ago, Edmonton stunk it up early last season and made the finals. I think there’s too much talent here for them not to figure it out.

How about a hockey trade, Jim Montgomery for John Tortorella?

How about a hockey trade, Jim Montgomery for John Tortorella?

A Lot of Philly fans would love that.

I think the real question is would they hire Quenneville? Or just go to interim Leach? I think Leach is the likely candidate. If they lose to the Leafs and Philly I think Monty's done.
