Haslam...750M improvements project....Corporate tickets will not replace fans STH lost money. So unless we become THE travel game for other fan bases to own our arena. Whenever fans are fed up with the shit show and quit coming and sell there tickets for cost or less will kill the franchise we love(d)

i dont think ive ever been so indifferent about a Preds team since 2011

Luckily my father in law has season tickets to the Wings and my company is HQ’d in SLC where I spend alot of time so I have avcess to good hockey regardless. Current team is shameful on every account

We discussed at length last year that this is a coach who publicly calls out his players, not just once, but at every single opportunity. He holds grudges and permascratches some young, talented players. He affects the air that he doesn't need to play young players, teach them, or have them improve.

Honestly, I have been disenchanted almost immediately with him. I thought it was strange he didn't get rehired after having a good run as interim head coach prior to the Preds, but the Panthers are unquestionably better without him.

Look, he got them to lock in after pulling a mega stunt with canceling their Vegas plans. Otherwise, he has made a lot of very questionable decisions with numerous players.

I thought Hynes was bottom. I still think he might be. I don't know that Brunette is much better, unfortunately.

Hynes issue to me was also his system, that collapsing at all costs meant we never had anyone out to be able to counter off those defensive plays. I think that is the reason it looked better once we got all of the kids because they had a bit more speed to start with. He also had the exact same issue that Brunette does, his only form of adjustment was to just line blender. He also didn't like playing the kids.

Really Brunette and Hynes are just two peas in a pod, the outside just looks different, and I think Hynes is probably just more of likeable guy from a players perspective.

Its the reason I expect Minnesotta to eventually fall apart. Once people start adjusting to whatever they are doing, Hynes will have zero answers.

And I’d still say the post U2 stretch was a mirage. No pun intended.
It totally was. Did they play incredible hockey during that stretch? Yes. Was it indication if a wider trend that they had permanently turned a corner for the best? In hindsight, obviously no, but it gave GMBT enough confidence to have the offseason he had. It's literally the only thing to happen under Bruno's tenure that has given him any credibility as a coach here

Why would we fire the coach when we're in the middle of a three game point streak?

(Sadly this joke is probably Trotz's actual thought process).
