- Blomqvist - the only good thing we can all agree on with this team right now.
- The rest - Absolute shit.
- The coaching is the single biggest reason this team is absolute trash, the way the lineup is used, the awful system and lack of adjustments, the favouritism in the lineup and just far too much of it going back to how awful this coaching is.
There is just no other option for this team, I would not move a single player on this current roster before firing Sullivan and his staff and then seeing if a new coach in a week or two can get more out of them and then make moves.
I would hire Todd Nelson for the interim coach, maybe keep Vellucci at most but yeah, I would immediately fire Sullivan and Quinn, there is no way Quinn should stay if Sullivan goes, that’s replacing a turd with an identical turd and expecting a different result. The issues were always building up to this, for years, they kept ignoring it, kept trading away players he kept misusing and then blamed the GM or the players.
They will instead find excuses for why they played poorly, saying its too early in the season while pretending last 2 seasons didn’t happen, they can’t blame goaltending even while Jarry has been awful he was 1-1, so they can f*** that narrative too, this is a poorly coached team and they need to finally move the f*** on.
A lot of us expected them to be bad today, predictably, I mentioned the Oilers will dunk on their asses in shots but not even I expected it to be this bad…
