That's my biggest problem with the people who want to give it to the end of season. Like what is going to change? What signs are they seeing that change is on the horizon?
It makes no sense. I said that sentiment about TM too. When the Kings were losing with Terry Murray, you at least knew what the f*** the plan was
The change people see is that the old folks core is gone.
As much as they did for our generation, they do not do anything expected from team leaders.
A 10 million 1st line center should be able to take over a game at will or at latest in crunch time.
A veteran 1st line winger should just yell, give me the puck when i close to the net and i finish.
A 1st line defender and face of the franchise shouldn't be overrun by even rookies and should be able skate a straight line without fumbling
This core is supposed to teach the the youngsters the how and when.
The problem is that this core grew up under coaches who strangled any kind of creativity or offense hockey.
This shows even more now, when this core isn't able to enforce any kind of action because of their physical prime.
They just barely do the basic stuff that is asked of them but that is not cutting it in the NHL.
Include our coaching staff that is an exact clone of our last 2 coaches just without winning mentality and we have 0 progress and this is exactly what we whiteness now on a daily basis.
I totally understand that people throw in the towel and focus on the future.
I was laughed at when i mentioned that the KIngs are still 2-3 years away from playoff because Mr. Blake announced the rebuild is over.
If we talk about real contending for the cup i don't see that earlier then 4 years from now.
This is why people give away the season.
Let's do what's really important for the future, scout and draft the right youngsters and let them develop in the minors
and even more important, keep them away from the, washed up former glory heroes.
