I'm sorry I have to do this because I have defended Weight but what the f*** is going on with this guy? Why the f*** am I watching Cal Clutterbuck ON THE FIRST POWERPLAY UNIT? Jesus f***ing Christ.
Honestly I think he's running out of ideas. Nobody friggin moves. Nobody stands in front. No threat of a big shot. It's pathetic
it's been 3 years of this. it has to be weight's gameplan for the powerplay. i refuse to believe that for 3 years, players are "lethargic, lax, slow" when they're up a man. it starts and ends with weight

I agree that the issues are with the coaching staff, but the players do not move. When you watch the PP its the same thing over and over. No movement and no net front presence. See a lane, shoot the g.d. puck!

I don't care what the record is or what spot in the standings we're at, the first 10 games have been less than stellar. I'm not ready to start ripping Weight yet but I want to see how he handles correcting the areas where the team is deficient-the PP, the giveaways, the slow starts to games.
I haven't been impressed with his lineup choices, his handling of who goes out on the PP (Clutterbuck on PP1???? Really Dougie???), and until last night he sounded like he was regurgitating Cappy's words in his post games. Last night Weight was candid and frank the way he was last season. I guess when you have the interim tag removed and it's your ass on the line you handle yourself differently.
The next 10 games feature 6 road games and only 3 games in the Metro. Time to get it in gear Dougie.

Dougie enforces accountability on Ho-Sang and his turnovers, so he is trying but only on one individual.

Not comparing their stats (or skillsets) this season, if you recall Strome had some runs where he put up a PPG over 8 or 9 games and still could barely stay in the lineup.

Lack of leadership does seem to be part of the problem and JT doesnt seem like the most vocal guy.

I don't like that either. I like him at center but the B-line was doing very well. And Beau will playing with our worst wingers (outside of Chimera) with probably not much ice time. Another great move by Weight!

The way he handled the team in the preseason was the way he handle the team last season. For some reason, he turned into Fred Flintstone when the season started. I have no idea what he’s doing and I don’t think he does either.

I think this early in the season you have to give the coaching staff, just like the players, a bit of leeway as they implement their system and get everyone on the same page, as well as tweak lineups to see what works, what doesn't. Otherwise, you run the risk of overreacting (positively or negatively) based on a hot or slow start.
Case in point: most Isles fans were giddy about Weight last season because the Isles "played at a 100+ point pace the second half". People were ready to declare the team a lock for the playoffs because of how they finished under Weight. Now, ten games into this season and Weight is being compared to Capuano.
There's probably a middle ground between the two, but it'll take more than 10 games to determine ultimately what you've got behind the bench. A lot of teams are sloppy right now, not just the Isles.

Snow runs this team. ANyone on this board could coach the team and we wouldnt notice because coachs just do what gm's tel them to do these days. Even for the yankees. Snow cant run a power play or he would of fixed that problem. Which to me, is a lack of shooters, guys that arent afraid to be puck hogs, or miss the net. Everyone wants to be a nice guy pass to the teammate.
In Weight's defense, we did rebound against the Wild in a big way. Doubt that ever happened under Cappy.
