This is a joke, right? If this is true Colliton has been neutered by the vets on this team. Unless Lehner is injured there is no reason for this.Laz just posted that it looks like Crawford is going to start tonight.
Not joking. My thoughts exactly.This is a joke, right? If this is true Colliton has been neutered by the vets on this team. Unless Lehner is injured there is no reason for this.
It seems like that is what's happening.I was all on board that Q was past his expiration date and had to go but when Bowman brought in a guy who was younger than some of our core vets my concern was the inmates would control the asylum. So far this looks to be the case. When I watch Colliton behind the bench he looks terrified, scared to even move or breathe. Its certainly possible no coach could win much with this roster but for sure they need someone who could command respect from vets who have won multiple cups. This coach just doesn’t have the pedigree or personality to get that respect.

Confirmed on Twitter (Roumeliotis) that Crawford is in net tonight.
Unless we can score 6 goals tonight this is a likely result0-3-1

They're the same except Nylander in for Perlini. Don't like it.oh my, really beginning to get worried about JC, either he has no clue or someone is telling him who to play and not to play.
Crow has no business playing this game after his two and Lehners one; not to mention the lineups for the last game made absolutely no sense.

They brought in an assistant coach to get the respect a young head coach won’t get? Sounds backwards to meThey brought in Marc Crawford for that.

20-19-92 on the top line. DO IT JC!

I agree that is a major issue. These vets have been through wars, won championships. How motivated are they to go all out when they are on a team that won’t contend? Its a real problem and its compounded by such a young coach who’s message might get tuned out by vet players who think they know more and don’t respect him.Crawford is there to teach Colliton and back up his message. There is only so much coaching can do. If the core is looking around and surmising the team doesn’t have the talent needed to contend, they’re not always going to give 100%. It sucks, but that’s the reality of having holdovers from a dynasty. Many teams trade their vets when they rebuild because they know those guys only want to play on winning teams.
Seabrook and Toews are going nowhere. Kane and Keith are moveable. If the Vets aren't going to buy in this has to be discussed.I agree that is a major issue.

If they're going to move members of the core as much as it pains me, it should be Kane that's first to go. He has the most value and should still command a haul in return. Keith and Crawford should be next.Keith should have been moved a long time ago. No idea why they held onto him so long. Same with Crawford. If he needs to play a lot to succeed, he should not be here. It would also serve as a wake up call to the remaining core to move one or two out.
Exactly right. Also I don't think the hunger for another cup is there with the core. They won 3 cups so the hunger has gone down a little. It's human nature.I agree that is a major issue.
