Teams with speed give our D fits. They’re on our D after dump in right away causing pressure, and their D press our wingers high so no real outlet and ability to generate a clean breakout. The D either A)coughs up the puck behind the net lookin at you Trouba (worst option) B) pass it around the opposite side to our wingers who’s covered resulting in a puck battle and at best a clear barely over the line C) fling it up the near boards hoping to squeeze by the D mostly resulting in another turnover and continued zone time.

Our only solution is extended O zone time so we don’t have to play defense, not really a solution…
 
When a coach loses the room it doesn't matter if you're Scotty Bowman. You're done. This core chasing away two coaches in two years is alarming. Starts to make me think it's not the coach or the message that's the problem.
The message is the problem. Its being delivered by two bad coaches which is the issue. Which is why you bring in the right messenger.

Let's assume 2 things are NOT gonna happen. Because they aren't.

GG won't get fired.

Nothing happens with Meeka, Kreids, Bread, Trouba, Trochek etc.

Now what armchair gms?

Gonna bench Blais, Hajek? Big woop.

Gonna trade Laf? KK?

Release Halak? Yawn.

Buy out Goody?

Line changes gonna produce a 180° turnaround?

Problem is huge because the problem is everywhere.

Go with the nuclear option: trade everyone!

Sather had the right mindset, the problem is Jagr found that old spark and Lundqvist emerged.

The last time we had any kind of development was under Torts.

Callahan, Dubinsky, and Hagelin never really had the talent but he got the absolute most out of them.

He's probably not a Cup coach because when the team is good, all he's gonna do is scream at a good team, but we skipped ahead to the Cup coach when we weren't a finished product.

Guys on this team need to learn and nothing is being taught.
Torts not a Cup Coach,huh???? Can you say 2004 Tampa Bay

That was a million years ago.

I wouldn't bet on him winning one now.

His specialty is development and by the time development is achieved, his team is sick of him.

Also, his current team sucks ass so he might just be losing it too.

It's time.
 
Having 3 different coaches with a lot of the same roster won’t change anything. Maybe getting some better leaders will help this group. Another coach would have the same result with this group. Time to make a hockey trade


Mika about to cry again in the postgame. Great leadership 🤮
I agree, soon there will be no coaches to blame. I dont care how much Mika produces points, but he isnt a quality 1C, overall our centers arent that level what it should be for a team who wants to win a cup. Our defence.. well wont even go into that.

Also I think Kakko's time is running out, when it doesnt click it just doesnt click. Laf still has hope because his playing like ****, but has better production compared to Kakko and Kakko isnt even playing badly. Maybe when Laf starts to actually play better he will be the player who Rangers drafted

Drury should seriously consider trading Kakko, he still has value.
 
I have zero faith in Drury to rebuild this team into a contender. The guy started on second base and he ended up giving away our top-6 RW, signing a bottom-six guy to an insane longterm deal, trading for an enforcer and subsequently extending him only to trade him this year, signing a big oaf only to dump him in Arizona along with our draft picks. And the four players he acquired at the Deadline for valuable draft commodity are all gone because he wanted to sign an injury-prone, lazy Vinny Trocheck.


Drury is an atrocious GM.

This team hasn't had structure since Torts. When you let players do whatever they want, it falls apart... just like any relationship.

People respect boundaries and structure.
 
The top unit needs a shakeup.

It's not just about "PLAAAYYY KAAKKKOOO!!!"

It sucks. We're down to 16th on the powerplay.
