Getting blown out by the Rags on Saturday could do it if this doesn't.
After that then yes, he isn't getting fired until the 14th.

The system is all about puck possession. We have no puck possession. Not sure what your issue is.

yea, lets make more excuses for this guy. you totally understand the sport better.
How is that an excuse?
I've stated my feelings on Pete numerous times to you, but once again you fail to comprehend what people say because you are so consumed with getting your gospel thoughts out. You woulda fit right in on the Groundhog Day cast.
It's basic hockey stuff, guys not being able to complete passes or hold on to the puck as was being described has little, if nothing to do with a system. If guys can't make smart passes, keep giving the puck away, or can't hang on to it at all, it kind of is the players issue considering they kind of are in control of the puck. A system doesn't make decisions for them, a system tells guys where they should be in certain situations and how they should be setting up. The rest is execution and as displayed plenty, our players cannot do that. Has little to do with a system

he still gets paid the remainder of his contract if he gets fired. and maybe getting away from the Devils might help him clear his mind lol.

They didn't even come close to showing up. Guys were eating Christmas goose early.

Has there been any other coach who has had a longer leash than PDB? 60 wins in the last 201 games? Hes an atrocious coach at this point who has provided zero in terms of developing younger players and relies on veterans who produce nothing for him. Why does Peter Harrold play more mins than Gelinas and Larsson tonight?

okay there is no way he only has 60 wins in the last 201 games lol. They have 58 wins in the past 154 games. still terrible though.

I'm starting to think Lou is not willing to fire Deboer since it probably will change nothing in terms of winning, and then the heat will be squarely on him from the ownership group.
I don't think there's been a time in the last twenty years where Lou has been skating on thin ice in terms of his status as GM, no pun intended.

Pete already using the lack of forwards as an excuse.
Tough schedule also.
Guess he hasn't even bothered looking at the next four games on the schedule.

3 goals scored in a 4 game home stand against the Senators, Lightning, Capitals, and Hurricanes. And going up against the Rangers(18-10-4, currently on a 7 game win streak), Penguins(22-6-5), Detroit(17-8-9), and Montreal(22-11-2).

I knew it was bad but that is just... Embarrassing to be honest. It's not like they played top tier teams for the most part either.

What bothers me the most is the fact that he has not made any adjustments to the system or changed it despite it not working. He is like a stubborn kid with his decisions. There is literally little to no excuse for liking PDB. Despite the roster sucking.

And 2 defensemen in OT.
Might take 12 more shootout losses to change that.
Cause god forbid we give up breakaways in OT.

My god I could hear violins playing in the background of the Pete presser. To actually thump your chest at the effort when you get outshot by DOUBLE against a bad team, either Pete's delusional or he really believes he's got a mid-level AHL team.

I'm going to quote these shootout stats from the other thread.
Is Pete not aware of these stats or does he not care?
At this point, I think the shootout failure CAN be partially blamed on him. Additionally, refusing to open things up in OT when he knows the team sucks at the shootout.

I was actually happy he went with Gomez and Cammy. And I was actually ready to compliment him on his choices.
But then he chose Henrique, and I literally screamed "WHY?!"

lol I honestly think Pete can't get anything out of his head but the two breakaway goals Henrique scored against Winnipeg his rookie year.
And yes Bleed's been beating that drum for a while and it's true...I think Pete just wants to stick his head in the sand like an ostrich and not acknowledge the shootout thing cause in his mind he thinks the shootout troubles will only get in their head more if he gets too aggressive in OT and it doesn't work. Like it's consciously acknowledging you want to win in OT cause you know winning a shootout is 10% at best.
