That's not even a hockey thing
Climate has completely changed in everyday life
How Bowman or any coach of the past acted is irrelevant
How some people cannot understand that is a little bit puzzling???

So you're not going to actually see what a good pace would be.... but also, you'll say that a certain pace is bad.
Almost every team play their back-up goalie in one of back-to-back games. Usually, it's the second. A tired team with their back-up goalie playing against a fresh team with their starting goalie isn't going to have a great record.
There's an M and an E though

Sure Eakins could have conducted himself better, but he was dealt an awful hand in Edmonton. That was a clown show from top to bottom

Correct, I'm not going to look up & record 1800+ box scores. Feel free to do it yourself if it's that important to you.

Eakins was the top clown in that clown show.

Defeat does not rest lightly on their shoulders
Not until everyone is healthy and he has a full team for ten game span , then the decision will be made
For the 10th time lol
If this continues after all of the above , it will happen before the new year

Next manager will still have bad contracts. Those will be dealt or all other signings will be problematic. Dubas messed up so bad it hurts.

I would say that this is a massive turnaround for Babcock. He opened the season telling our players "this is our year" and now it's "Oh you know...Yzerman took until he was 30 years old to figure it out". Stop moving the goal posts.
What Ovechkin said was totally accurate yesterday and it is on the coach and the players. I think the team and Babcock peaked in the 1st 7 game series vs Boston. Didn't like them last year and he probably should have been let go after the loss in the playoffs. The roster looks done with him.
This is also on Dubas....it can't literally just be speed and skill. You need the ability to play strong defense and can't be a bunch of wimps.
I also think the players need to buy in more. Forget about your stat line at the end of the year. Defense isn't sexy and it isn't fun but it f***ing wins.

Ahhh. Good Old Gud Pro Rehab, a reliable contributor to hockey chit chat. Are you so obsessed with Babcock that you just find any schlub on twitter making comments and post in on here to somehow make yourself feel better?

How much of the season does the team blow before they pull the plug on the Babcat?
If we don’t fire him now we’re going to miss the playoffs. (~88pt pace)

If Babs said something like "Ovi's won once and now he's an expert on what it takes?' I would of loved him for that and I'm sure most of his players too but instead he says Ovi's right. What a POS! When the players dont back each other look at the top.He had a chance to stand up for his team today. Instead he just agreed with Ovi.
He hasn’t learned anything from last season. Just blame everyone else

Ralph Kruger had a less talented team playing very well....had he the chance to have McDavid, who knows what would have happened. Watch out for Buffalo because Kruger is a very,very good coach. He got fired on Skype by the Loilers and they suffered ever since.

It was a different time. Scotty a complete no BS coach. No discussion. You go fishing on blueline you sit rest of game and no questions asked. Even Lafleur got sat. It did not matter who you were. It is Babs but without the Babs speak. Babs tries to talk his way around things. Scotty did not. You sit period. There are zero excuses. I think it would be extremely difficult to coach like that in today's game. and if you bitched you got sent to minors no questions asked.
All babcock does is deflect, never takes responsibility or at least very rarely. Im not sure that is what he was saying here though

There will never be a time when everyone is healthy. I think it shows more about what the team really is when there is some adversity to handle, like injury.

right but that is hardly taking responsibility for anything that is wrong, he is just saying it hurts my feelings. Look at the end of last year when we were dumped out of the playoffs. Babs deflected every single criticism while dubas took the blame himself for a lot things that obviously aren't his fault

I guess you missed the part where he said "I'm supposed to get all this organized"...
