Official 2024-25 Utah HC Season Discussion.

Maatta isn't chopped liver. That trade worked out very nicely.

Bill also traded for two top pair D last summer. Not sure how many top pair D you want him to trade for in a single year. I personally think he's done enough.

I agree. I think he has played very well and wouldn’t mind seeing him extended.

Why do I feel like UTAH will be the hottest team to miss the playoffs?
I'm disappointed that they didn't improve the D instead of wasting most of the season with an inferior D!

They turn things around and play incredible … then bad lazy habits start to form , AT doesn’t address because . Hey .. they are still winning.. then they lose , but it’s ok because the effort was still there, and they tried hard …. They were winning up until the last few minutes, but one mistake cost them a goal… then they lose in OT.. but hey we got a point .. it’s ok.

Next thing you know , we lose the ability to pass accurately and shoot and we have a real mess on our hands , and lose 3 in a row ..erasing what we earned after winning 4.

AT , get things turned around… rinse and repeat..

My opinion: AT doesn’t have that high of a standard … he gets them all playing great ..then pulls back .. he needs to be consistent with them and raise the bar, don’t be happy with just a win … if players can’t pass , hold them accountable..
Because when we can pass accurately and shoot, other teams rarely have an answer to defend , because we do it in all zones

One thing I noticed with the Pitts game , is Pitts were older, slower , but they were nailing their passes, making at least 4 in a row ..causing all sorts of havoc …UHC, barely connected at all , leaving us one and done in the O zone , except on the one PP.

I have no doubt that they will turn this around, an$ we will all love thi# team …but good teams are consistent….win 4 lose one , win 4 lose one …. We win 4 , lose 4 etc.
