  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Might have something to do with GM sucks (coach might too) and the team was never that good.

And we trust this guy to run it back for a third time to try to match our record season?

f*** HIM
If Fitz fixes the bottom-6 this summer I think this team can be dangerous. I also like what Keefe has brought this year especially defensively. He's a pretty good coach in my eyes. He's had years of success in Toronto with lineups pretty similar to this one on paper. With how the team is right now, they're missing some elements in the bottom-6 to be all that good.

At some point the players deserve some blame. Too easy to continually blame management/coaches.

Too late. Should have done it last year.

Make the playoffs or bye bye.

Management absolutely deserves blame. Coach is still new.
 
GM needs to go if the team misses the playoffs

It's a MUST
probably should go even if they make the playoffs. he's probably just mediocre but you can't have a guy on the hot seat running this offseason considering what he thought was the team's deficiencies last offseason. I loved his long contract dispute with Bratt wanting an AAV over 8 only to spend the money he saved on that contract on Kurtis Macdermid. Also love how many non-mobile defenseman the Devs have locked up

lost so much pace on this team for 'playoff type' hockey and now it's just a bunch of blah outside the core guys

This core is in its prime right now. If we can’t rely on them to be a playoff team at minimum at this point, then what the f*** are we doing here? This team’s management is trash.

Meh, Haula cratering after 2 straight 0.5 PPG seasons, same with Lazar, and Mercer not progressing are things that are hard to predict. At some point we have to be realistic about what is possible to change or should be changed based on the evidence we have.

I'm still willing to give him a year. The top elements are there, the surrounding group needs to be improved.

I asked Grok why Fitzgerald was a bad GM

It NEEDED to be said.

A lot of this defense looks like the modern day version of what Lou would ice in the late 00s and early 10s.

Not sure why this guy who has been GM for 5 years and 1 playoff berth who inherited a team in the final build stage should get another pass. He got that pass LAST year. He got another pass in 2022. That year saved him. He was gone after that year if we missed the playoffs.

He needs to be gone after this one.

I'm not drinking the kool aid anymore. It's f***in toxic.

And I'm tired of hearing him run his mouth. Sounds like another guy in power.
 
First half of the season , I felt like we could come back from any deficit . Felt like we could flip a switch and dominate any team. Now …… it’s t feels like it’s a miracle if we score , and if we do score , it’s a miracle if we can hold a lead.
We have looked like shit since Christmas . Zero bottom 6 help . Fitz did nothing to fix it. This team is simply not good right now. I will be very surprised if we make the playoffs . We rely too much on one line now that’s any good . Teams shut that line down and we have nothing .

GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE! HE'S BOUND TO GET IT RIGHT EVENTUALLY!

TRAVIS GREEN IS ABOUT TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A SEASON THAT WASN'T ABRUPTLY HALTED!

JUST GIVE FITZ ONE MORE CHANCE!
