Didn't that almost happen last year?

I forget?

That all tends to happen when, y'know, you're carrying a bunch of AHLers and prospects.

Yeah, a mix of the two. We can't have high expectations with a team like that.

Putting the onus on the coaching staff is a bit ridiculous. The progression the team has had so far since MSL's hiring should be enough to give them the benefit of doubt.

Ducharme was 8-30-7 on the season when MSL came in. That's about 42 points prorated for 82 games. The 76 points last season, while also leading in games lossed by 1 goal is much progression for a club that still has so many holes on the roster.

Things not looking encouraging for a significant climb in the standings this year. I think we're primed for a 5-10 finish from what I saw in the preseason.

I agree. When I do satyre here I'm not totally serious. The context of the joke as a good punch line.

What pisses me off is that they didn't make the pp issue a priority.
Our PP is a huge issue. How many losses could have been wins with just a decent pp last season?

No adjustment was made. They hardly practiced it. No new strategy attempts. No new transition game. Still the same setup in the o zone. Still only one D at the point. Nothing is tried except for praying it will magically start to work. This screams incompetence to me.

MS has us playing well as a 5 on 5 team....................we are losing games all the time because of the brutal play by the not so special teams...............tired of it.
This............is on the coaching. We can all see it.

The PP issues really are baffling to me. It's been like 10 years now that the PP stinks. We've changed coaches multiple times, new GM, almost all the players have chnaged, and yet it's the same issues year after year.

Because we didn't have a true QB on the PP. There's nothing baffling about that.

Let's see how Hutson will do before sounding the alarm.
