Fire Lindy and Green, Now

[NjDevsRR]

I have been on these boards for twelve years and very seldom would make a thread like this. The lineup decisions , special teams and execution tonight is some of the worst I have witnessed in my 15 years as a season ticket holder. So mods, delete this as you wish but I think it’s time. Lindy Ruff and Travis Green have been actively hurting this roster with their schemes and lineup decisions. The time is now before this becomes detrimental to future seasons. New voices are needed behind the bench to close out this season.

I hope management realizes this too. The culture that began last season is now being lost.

Culture change needed. Ice time and roster spots need to be continuously earned and fought for. Get rid of Lindy

 

[Satans Hockey]

Fire Jake Reynolds as well, dude sucks too. 9% increase on season tickets my ass. They are gonna be shocked at the renewal rates.

We in the shitter again boys and girls.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Agreed.

Any solid coaching options out there that come to mind? What about this ugly mug?

 

[Forge]

No it was bad enough we had to have his dumb ass brother

 

[Darkauron]

It's too late. They should have done it months ago.

Its not too late, this shit has to stop now. We need a change bot for the playoffs , but for their self respect and to rebuild the culture that they built last season

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Agreed.

I thought Bobby Heenan was dead

 

[Patrik26]

Wrong thread.

I'd say they need to do it so that they can be ready to go next year, tbh. You're doing it just to get prepared

 

[Edmonton East]

Not really debatable at this point. You have to make a change so you have better insight into what the issues are and what personnel changes need to be made in the offseason. Everyone knows they play like asshats in the current "system."

Make changes and they play worse somehow? Huge roster shakeup needed and additional staff gotta go.

By keeping everything status quo, you deprive yourself of additional information that would be useful in offseason decisions.

 

[None Shall Pass]

Sure, I'll get on it right now

I mean, it's pretty obvious now that Lindy rode Andrew Brunette's coattails last year because the other 3 years he's been at the helm have been absolute cesspools on the ice.

i don’t think this is true. i think they caught a lot of teams off guard with their speed and the development of young talent and dougies career year.

teams are prepared for them this year, they weren’t as fast and hard on the forecheck, the defensive system was too complicated for the amount of rookies on the squad and they’ve dealt with injuries.

the problem is when everything went right ruff looks like a genius, but when it wasn’t going right he clearly has no idea how to fix it

Green is an absolute joke.

He's never had an NHL assistant job before, so who knows if he's any good or not, but the power play was 23rd in expected goals (5 on 4) coming into this game and I don't think it was ever higher than 8th-10th before November/Dougie got injured when they were 1st in the league in actual conversion percentage by a whole lot.

His head coaching resume was an utter joke with the Canucks.

I'm afraid he'll be the next head coach here, if someone like Sullivan doesn't end up on the market after this year.

As far as Lindy goes, I think he's a goner after this year. MAYBE if we finish well enough to just barely miss the playoffs he gets one more chance, but on an even warmer seat than what he came into 2022-2023 with. And it was pretty f***in warm coming into 2022-2023.

But with the injuries (yeah, guys are still injured, but they're not missing from the lineup anymore) now hopefully behind us, I don't think he's getting passes for games like these last two.

Small sample size, but the team seems to be scoring significantly less since the system change. The power play being an absolute joke and us getting absolutely nothing out of it probably has a lot to do with that. And after these last two games I'm sure the goals against are about the same as what they were before that Carolina game.

It's not too late and even if it was, this cannot be allowed to continue. It sets really bad standards for the team

 

[Bleedred]

The writing seems to be on the wall for Ruff. A lot of people are upset that he wasn't already fired or that he won't be fired tomorrow, but I don't think you could have fired him when a bunch of guys were injured last month or the month before.

And you couldn't really fire him after last year. I thought he should have been fired after 2021-2022 (I was flabbergasted that he wasn't fired), but he survived and we really couldn't turn around and fire him after last year. But we owe him no more than this year because of last and he got it.

The only thing that I thought was overkill was that he was given a contract extension which doesn't even start this year. That doesn't mean he can't be axed at any time, as long as we pay him his money, which he'll get no matter what.

You don't catch teams off guard all season.

I think we've officially reached the too late stage at this point, at least for this year although it isn't really too late to start fixing shit before NEXT year.

players like lindy? who cares -- do they wanna win?

 

[RSeen]

I don't know if Fitz will do the right thing here. He seems far too loyal to Lindy.

It is just not working anymore.

 

[Bleedred]

Add Rogalski to the pile.

He's managed to go under the radar lately, but he's really the guy that I think should have been fired midseason.

He's been a mistake from the beginning. I wouldn't even say Ruff was a complete and utter failure, but Rogalski sure was.
