Embarrassing loss... no discipline, no desire, no pride, no effort...no nuttin!

Typical Spirit hockey, lets play all offence, ( even when short players ) run and gun, leave odd man rushes, and heaven forbid play anything that resembles defense. Yes, the players, but its time to call out the coaching staff and their inability to get this team to play a close to the vest, off the puck game.
They aren't going to switch the style short bench or not. That's never been how they have or will operate. Just upset they seemed to mail it in last night.

And with a 7-6 win over Guelph last night, the mailman might have been in the neighborhood as well!
Well, I'm sure Oke is thrilled with being left on his own so often... ranked #19 out of 25 goaltenders with a 3.56 GAA. But exciting offensive hockey is what it's all about... on come on, give me a smiley face. :DD

Lazary's job is to develop players and he has. And he's been the most successful coach for Saginaw by a mile. You have never liked him, even when we were winning most of our games. I remember us playing 15+ years of more "traditional" hockey. Greg Gilbert era? What a pain to watch that was. Not just the style but it was the fact that they we were NEVER a threat to do anything.

I don't doubt that the goalies that have played here in the Lazary era don't get frustrated with the grade A chances they face on the regular. It sucks for them. I also don't think you change overall philosophies because there might be some pain some nights.

To further the point about changing up style, at 4:45 of this video, Laz talks about how he switched up the formation to defend as Swoopster is asking for.
