Look at that young core though.....its there. You can already see the early signs. We just have to accept reality that we're gonna be getting our asses kicked for a while longer before we're fully ready to contend. That promising young core is going to become even more promising after the next 2 drafts. Just think about all that talent we're gonna have. Plus a new/legit coach. Plus using our cap space to spend big at the right time. All is well!!!

That’s fine, they show a lot of potential. I just don’t want them to get benched while guys like Martinez and “Barfy” go unpunished for their continued sucktitude.
 
This is likely a system issue.

It's an execution issue regardless. If the fellas can't figure out when to cover an area or a man between the damn dots that's on them. Even the last goal was a wide open shot between the dots that was mopped up. It's happening over and over all game long. It's like the forwards are out there playing hockey cosplay tonight. If they're this clueless then in theory you could just make them collapse every shift, but they really should just be better themselves and communicate/read the ice properly.

It’s been a season long issue tbh. Forwards on this team often look lost in the Dzone, leaving the young D to run around trying to defend everyone.

People are going to point to Lev’s plus minus this game as an excuse for him not being ready. This game isn’t even close to being his fault, he’s once again one if the better players out there.

Yep... it's too easy to always blame the coach.
 
Yeah man prime Q would have this team competing for a playoff spot. Always a system issue. Never a player issue.
It can be both, simmer down lol.

Prime Q may not be able to coach this team into a playoff spot, but he may be able to coach these kids up to get them on their way.

Yeah there’s plenty of crappy vets who won’t learn on this team. But there’s some promising young talent that a good coach can work with to unlock greater potential.

Bedard has yet to have a coach actually coach him up. He’s not some uncoachable entity. Very few are.

Can’t wait to do this all over again next year.

You’re the one who started with the personal attack about crying about everything. You cry about coaching and system for every mistake. Did the same for Luke and now you’re doing it again for Sorensen.

It couldn’t possibly be that the entire roster is completely devoid of talent. That’s what I said. What’s the system issue? NZ? Defensive zone? Man vs Zone? Forecheck? Breakout? They’ve completely changed how the defense plays and now we lose games 6-2 vs 3-2. It’s the roster.
 
Kaiser still flying around in spite of the score. Just so involved in the play right now. Probably the only guy I’d describe as “good” tonight
