Powerplay design, decision making, and execution remains an abomination. Maybe fire the guy that is in charge of that.

You know I don't understand why you're going to acquire Karlsson then play tight system hockey.

I like Fleury not even being in the net because he's swimming so bad and Letang is like what if I pass backdoor instead

Congrats to MAF but Sullivan has lost the loving plot with his lines and Reirden should have been fired a month ago.

Alex Newhook is back today. That's good. Habs start the game in the most Habs way possible. That's bad.

fawning deference posted:I really was expecting NJ to go on a run at some point within the last month but I genuinely think this is not a playoff team and I actually don't think they're going to make it now Starting Vanecek again tonight after that last game suggests to me that they actually don't want to make the playoffs. It's honestly too frustrating to watch them lately. Any win that feels like it might spark a decent run is immediately followed by a dogshit goalie loss. Lindy's line shuffling makes no sense and never works out, and he seems to spend most of his time making up bizarre excuses for his decisions. The time to trade for a goalie was in the off season and / or three months ago but the time to fire Lindy would be now

Nah man, you at least need to see what Ruff does with a functional goaltender and a fully healthy team. This idea of "the moment a team looks lost, fire the coach, even after they just won 50+ games and is beloved by the room" still doesn't make sense. He's earned the time to try to dig the team out of this hole given the situation. At some point, the players need to perform. It's not that nothing is working because he's line juggling, it's that he's line juggling because nothing is working. He's had star players in and out of the lineup all year long and the depth has been rough. As for playing Vanecek, Daws started out well but he's at .895 now coming off 3 bad starts in a row. He's not the answer either. No matter which goalie Ruff plays, it's going to be a shitshow. You can't put that on him. I don't like the job he's been doing much this season and I have been critical of the team's structure and killer instinct and readiness to play the full 60, all of which are things that Ruff drives as the coach. But firing him now, especially if there's no one in mind to replace him with on the open market, seems very reactionary. fawning deference fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Feb 11, 2024 |

Ottawa literally had nothing going on, Leafs had all the chances until Mitch fumbles into a wall and gives up a goal, crowd gets into it and now the Sens have legs suddenly. Just brutal.

I dunno with the Pens. Not making the playoffs if they can't make hay with these games in hand. They just seem incapable of stringing performances together. They'll look great one game and poo poo the next. Pretty much the definition of a mediocre team. I think ya gotta trade Jake if it's still trending this way a month from now (and I think it will be)

it’s so frustrating, it just feels like the Pens can never quite get their poo poo together (at least in the past month& 1/2 since i’ve started watching, dunno how they were before then) so of course they’re my favorite team

You missed the Pens' golden era of being good I'm sorry to say. They're on the decline now and it's probably not gonna get any better until the stars retire, they tank again, and get high lottery picks. If we're lucky they'll sneak into the playoffs this year and maybe win a round or two but that's probably the ceiling and is looking increasingly unlikely by the day.

mcmagic posted:What Devil is playing better than his 22-23 season this year? What devil has exceeded your start of season expectations other than Nemec? Bratt has been terrific, but... this is kind of my point. It can't all be on Ruff if all of his players are now under-performing and/or injured. Even if you want to blame Ruff for the team's woes, you need to allow him and the team to go through adversity like this. Everything went right last season. To fire a coach at the first sign of adversity is still reactionary.
