I am still in the 10 to 20 game window.

There is still hope, for me to be correct!
Yeah I think we should be back on Fire Bruno watch. If we are still this bad by game 20 Trotz will have to do something or else throw in the towel on the year and you know he's not gonna do that after all these signings

I think I am beginning to understand why the Panthers passed on Bruno.

Heard a Brady Skjei interview earlier this week - He said something to the effect he is "till trying to figure our the systems". I only ever played pond hickey, but how complex are NHL systems for a defensemen?

Well, watching the way Josi and most of our defense play, it would seem defense is optional in our system so that would definitely take adjusting to.

I know Schenn said last season he had huge issues with it and certain footwork Brunette wanted that apparently is different than anything he'd ever done. If Brunette is that detailed his teams are always going to suck to start the season.

As much as I'm unhappy with Bruno, I *really* dont like the idea of firing and hiring mid-year. I want a new coach to have an off-season to get their system figured out. Would prefer to give a full year, see what happens, and go separate ways in the off-season.

But if this continues....it'll be sooner rather than later.

Have Brunette coach us into a top 3 pick then dump him in the offseason? I could see it.

They stopped executing Lavi's system...actually he just didn't really have much of a system. They consistently couldn't employ Hynes'. Outside of a quarter season stretch they haven't been able to play Bruno's. I'd rather not sandbag a whole season hoping the trend reverses over an offseason.

Get a new guy in, let him see what he has to work with (and maybe salvage some of these young guys Bruno has sidelined) and use the rest of this year to work on things for next season under actual game conditions.
