Speculation: When Does Bruno Get The Boot?

[Kat Predator]

Frankly fire everyone that is currently with the Preds, well except Taylor in Milwaukee, he seems to be the only thing in this organization any good.

I was going to say fire that woman that serves the hot dogs too, but I think you already covered it.

I know Poile and Trotz are normally on the same page, but this guy was brought in by Poile, right? I'd think at this point, Trotzy will want his own pick. Kinda shocking it hasn't happened yet.

The Brunette hire was made under Poile but I believe Trotz heavily influenced that. I think he's 100% Trotz' guy.

As of this morning-
Worst points percentage in the NHL. Need to go 5-0-1 to reach .500 hockey at the 20 game mark.
4th worst 5on5 goals allowed.
Battling Anaheim for the worst 5on5 scoring in the league ... currently worst 5on5 goals for per game.
13th ranked PP%.
2nd ranked PK%.

After a month of the regular season we're still getting the need time to gel excuses from the media.

It was 100% Trotz decision. To fire Hynes and hire Brunette. Poile sat off to the side and didn't say a word at that press conference.

OK...well, then it makes sense why he's still hanging on.

If/when he does get the boot, I wonder if we get Trotz behind the bench temporarily.

-24 goal differential 5on5 .... in just 14 games.

That's 1.7 per game.

14 games into the 24-25 season and we are almost exactly where we were 14 games into the 23-24 season. How we got there is quite different though and i find the trends of this season much more troubling.


GF 2024 - 33 (30th)
GA 2024 - 50 (27th)
PP 2024 - 20.8% (13th)
PK 2024 - 90.2% (2nd)
5v5 GF 2024 - 15 (31st)

GF 2023 - 42 (19th)
GA 2023 - 59 (24th)
PP 2023 - 20.7% (15th)
PK 2023 - 68.1% (32nd)
5v5 GF 2023 - 24 (24th)

We lost games last season because our PK sucked. We averaged a GA/GP on the PK through 14 games. This season we are losing because our absolutely horrid 5v5 play. Our special teams is actually quite acceptable. Our 5v5 where you spend the majority of the game is just bad though. We are also 30th this season for 5v5 goals against.

Cant score 5v5. Cant defense 5v5. That to me screams system issue. Either it doesnt work or the team isnt applying it right
