Morrow was responsible for a few against the blackhawks, trotman as well, the young and inexperienced. The vets were responsible for a few as well. Not scoring isnt necessarily a mistake such as our goal last game came off of a bad Hanafin change(a mistake), doesnt mean we made mistakes necessarily. Its a combination of both good plays by an opponent and bad plays by us.
We climbed back hard against the caps, and fought really hard against the canes, Ward was a wall.
Claude proved nothing? We were supposed to be a basement team, loosing talent like looch, hamilton and smith. Yet we are in a similar position standing wise and better prepared for the future. He has coached a lineup with a revolving bottom 6, a half full top 4 and alot more youth into a team that has more youth, talent and depth than we had seen in the past. I think Claude has regressed to some old defense first tendency, but the fact that his teams are consistently top 5 in offense and defensive measures and this years pp was #1 for almost half a season shows his long term ability to coach a team and ability to adapt. No line has had a consistent season, 63-37-14 was a longest serving line if i remember right
The "talbutt" and baseless dismissal of a "system" is frustrating. Its not productive. Want to know who is responsible for them letting in 8 and only scoring 5? The entire team, someone could have done something to change every moment, but they didn't.
It sucks looking at the very real possibility of being out of the playoffs. But who do you replace Claude with? Who do you want to be called up to fill a bottom six role kill penalties, agitate, know the nhl at an experienced level, have leadership qualities and plays every forward position?
