This team is far from soft, slow maybe, saying their stupid is well stupid

Mind pointing out what they are doing is smart that does not make them stupid? Last night was slow, soft and stupid.

They’d be better if they could get a save. Swayman has been awful.

Having a big blueline is nice but not at the expense of mobility and they don’t have much offensive talent, mostly 2 way guys.

You can have love for your team and still call it like it is. They are what their record shows.....not great.

I find the whole no identity thing kind of nebulous and shallow. It's an open-ended way of saying they lack both a consistent style and talent.

I think the identity of this team is more so, an identity of Sweeney and his ability, or lack of to build a team. This has his finger prints written all over it, more than any other team under his tenure.

Lets admit it when he took over this team, it was loaded with future Hall of Famers and a remarkable core, even dating back to the 2019 team that was one win away from winning the Cup They still had Bergeron, Marchand, Chara, Krejci Krug, Pasta and Rask from the previous regime. 4 future HOF with arguably Krejci and Tuukka receiving votes.

With only an aging Marchand and Pastrnak being the two left over from that prior regime, this no doubt has an Identity of Sweeney all over it, and it reflects his issues/downfalls with his managerial decisions. Your Gm sets the direction of his team, he has a certain vision of where his team should go and be, by hiring a coach, drafting and acquiring picks, making trades, signing free-agents, cap management, all these significntly impact the performance of your team and his in ability to do these adequately has more than clearly shown his inability to build an overall team and one with good structure.

Personally, I think they went away from Sweeney's blueprint this summer. You saw what happened.

If that’s the case, then it’s even a more of a reason to replace him, but I’m not totally buying it,as he’s on record as saying he’d been trying to acquire Lindholm for two years running.

 

[NDiesel]

I think they definitely have an identity: slow and unskilled
