At this point, I think 12-0 Boston would be a good thing. Finally force management to do something.

It's not management that needs to do something, it's the MLSE BoD that needs to fire management!!!

 

[Stephen]

This team 100% looks like they are trying to get Keefe fired

I respect the Canucks management for telling the players it might not be the coach. But the way they yo yo the fringes like an NBA bench you know everyone from Engvall up probably feels complete job security.

 

[Mikeyg]

this is very very bad, Jesus.

 

[killer1980]

That's the best way that Matthews can get on the game sheet this year.

 

[Eye Test]

Hockey isn’t supposed to be this bland.

[Griffin76]

Is there such a stat as expected possession?

 

[ULF_55]

Absolutely. But Holl had no chance of making that a successful pinch.

Coaching.

It's not management that needs to do something, it's the MLSE BoD that needs to fire management!!!

Yep. The for management to do something was July-September. Now it should be the board.

 

[PromisedLand]

Keefe you piece of trash. change up the f***ing lines keep running the same bullshit 5 on 5 keep getting the same result MORON

Dubas and Keefe

 

[Gallagbi]

Team's in quicksand

 

[cyris]

NAK could be Dubas' worst signing, and that's saying a lot

He isn’t even close. If they decide they are don’t with him he can be waived tomorrow and if he did clear he can go to the AHL with no cap hit.
Unlike Mrazek and Richie from last year.

 

[Mopar]

You gotta wonder what the execs of this franchise are thinking right now.

How does a team go from being on a major upswing in 16/17 to this shit show?

I know a lot of us here have different answers and explanation as to how this happened but I just can't believe we're in this position after having so much promise and great pieces in place just a handful of years ago.

 

[HockeyVirus]

"Justin Holl gave it away in front"

Just have that auto play when he is on the ice

 

[LastOne2100]

It's not management that needs to do something, it's the MLSE BoD that needs to fire management!!!

I included then in my definition of management, but agreed. Ownership needs to do something, and it's Shanahan that needs to go.

 

[Cobra777]

This team's 2 biggest problems are obvious...Lack of intensity and lack of good coaching. You can not continue to do the same things over and over and expect positive results all of a sudden. The faults are obvious but never corrected.

yep that would be the definition of insanity lmao

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Turnover machine defensively. They can't generate anything offensively. Drop passing to Casper the Ghost.

 

[makbeer]

Man, when Aube-Kubel is drop passing to an open point you kind of wonder what they're told to do out there. Does everyone think they're 1986 Gretzky?

It is that system that Keefe put in (assuming Dubas as well) that worked at lower levels where you over-value puck possession even if it means f'ing around with the puck at your own blue line rather than putting it deep and initiating a cycle when necessary.

 

[DopeyFish]

Is there such a stat as expected possession?

i'm gonna need a lot of drugs to make that possible stat make sense

 

[rocketman588]

If things stand as they are now we're 6th in the division

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

He isn’t even close. If they decide they are don’t with him he can be waived tomorrow and if he did clear he can go to the AHL with no cap hit.
Unlike Mrazek and Richie from last year.

I mean worst player, not worst contract

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Pretty soft call in a 4-2 game. Kings have been running plenty of interference all game, which hasn't been called. Not complaining, the Leafs have been trash.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

How is Keefe going to dig this team out right now?

The blender?
The JT MM AM line?
Double shift Robertson?

 

[MSZ]

At least the post game thread will be fun tonight.

 

[wingman75]

Man, Samsonov is good. Holy.
