Bring it on! This is how you build a team and a culture.
So u bring in another coach and what is our record?
See and I think that they are not in their window yet and will not be for another 3-4 years. When I say window, I mean as legit Cup contenders.
With the growth of the young players and having them play their rookie and sophomore years in a playoff chase environment, the year is hardly wasted. This is one of those needing to see the forest through the trees moments.
What the hell are you talking about? Have you seen Knoblauch's 5 games? If he were the coach, the team would be undefeated. That is a factual statement.
Not a big fan of Quinn, but I blame this more on Shesty’s injury, Georgiev being shaky and then Kinkaid’s surprisingly good play.
What carousel? Both Igor and Georgiev was awful in the beginning. When confronting that, one would ass-u-me that they would try anything to get the bleeding to stop. Ever since Shesterkin found his game, he has had the great majority of the split, as he should. There was never a carousel aside from the very beginning of the year when both goalies were playing like tukhus.
It was before that. He was doing some weird competition and would keep saying we don’t know who are starting goalie is, and kept rotating. Until he finally rode shesty and gave him a healthy dose of games in a row. Neither goalie was particularly sharp at that time, but with no camp short season what do you expect. He finally relented though
That’s what I just posted. He was doing weird shit. Shesty would win 1, then he would go back to geo, vice versa. Then he said in a post game interview we don’t have a Number 1 starter right now. We’re going game by game basis. Until finally he gave shesty a healthy dose of games and his game turned around. He’s been excellent lately. Only had 1 maybe 2 games where he wasn’t sharp
He sure did. Funnily enough it comes right after having the two best seasons of his career. So naturally he went on strike for the first twenty games of the year. And is now only playing well to spite Quinn.
Hey now, enough with all these specifics! People might have to take you seriously instead of just arrogantly dismissing your thoughts!
January was the start of the year. Shesterkin was not playing well either. They were both letting in beach balls. However, that is the extent of the carousel. The second Igor found his game, is when he started playing in the lion's share of the games.
That’s what I’m saying. They were both playing shitty. Shesty would have some games where he was good for half the game etc. geo was getting lit up like a Christmas tree and getting yanked. I’m talking specifically starting Geo, after shesty had won the prior game. And it wasn’t a back to back start. Come on, you have to remember this. Please don’t make me go back and check dates lol. And for the record I’m not saying this season is a disaster and everything is Quinn’s fault I’m just giving an example of 1 of his crazy pills decisions
The goalie play is not one of the "crazy pill decisions". Seeing which goalie has found his game, seems like the prudent thing to do.
Considering the records of some of the playoff teams, one could argue that they would have already been much more in playoff positions were this a regular year with wild cards.
It was neither. Shesty at the time looked better, but was still off. Georgiev looked abysmal. And was pulled a few times by that point. I can’t remember if this was right before or right after the DeAngelo altercation. I think it was like a month or so before
