I’ve brought up coaching changes quite a few times. At what point does whoever is coaching the pp get replaced? Is it King?

1.Successfully banked zero points for the Tank roll...

2.Told ya only way we had a chance was if STL goaltending had off night..but Bennington was on...

3. COULD not survive Connor Barfy...too much bad to overcome.

4.Bad fumble by KK on 4th STL goal = gift wrapped...
5.Bedard kine gaiks to produce ..Had chances.. but still if thatvis 1st line gotta produce.
Bedard not getting his bestxaset...his shot...pff in clear space...

6. Also should be more break-aways and 2 ones from Bedardckine...But it hardly has ever happened.. why not? YOU WOULD THINK WITH SKATING of Kurashev and Reichel there ought to be more break-aways and 2 ones from the line..but just not happening.

Derek Plante I believe. King was just supposed to be in the 3rd role working with young guys.

This PP doesn't have a body other than Bedard you could call good or worthy of bring on a Pp1st unit. It's what it is by design with the roster, at least after Hall is out.

IMO Reichel so far biggest disappointment todate. I know he bulked up but he seems slower, less engaged and mostly one, done and off the ice.
He seems like he's just trying way too hard to be a playmaker when we desperately need someone who can score after Bedard at a somewhat consistent rate

Im glad this was said. Too many on here are saying we can’t use the effort excuse because the roster is bad, so Luke isn’t at fault. But clearly some in the locker room are feeling it as well.

If this was Torts seeing this, he’d bag skate the team every day until they learn. That’s really the only way to fix an issue like this.

Coaching has absolutely been a problem this season. I don't think the players trust this coaching staff, and with how the power play is coached, I can't blame them. Effort level to start games has been shit. The team doesn't work hard for 60 minutes, either. The PK has gone to shit, since they stopped putting fast players out there, and started playing passive.

Richardson also LOVES his f***ing plugs way too much.

The veteran goalie leaves practice early every practice, too. Even when he's not starting. So there's a work ethic/culture issue, as well. Mrazek is healthy, from what I have heard.

I know a lot of you guys follow the AHL. I don’t. I have no baseline for Reichel. I’m just seeing a guy who isn’t an NHL player
