I'm miserable? About Soda? I've been pumping his tires for years man. Been called a Soda apologist this year. Promise you I'm rooting for the guy.

Not sure what you do about Reichel. Feel like they’ve tried everything they can to get him going.
Tough spot. You don’t want a guy to run himself into the ground but they shouldn’t send him to the AHL.

You put him in a position to succeed. The fourth line and healthy scratching him ain't it.

He played with Bedard and on the PP for a couple games and didn’t do much either.
Yeah a healthy scratch didn’t help. Neither is Reichel. He was soft as shit, again.

I agree. 10 game run and close your eyes and evaluate the results.
He still got out there in OT and again, did nothing. Some of it simply does fall on the player.

Again, tied to the Soda thing, definitely. I've been cheerleading both for years before they got here. It hasn't stopped because they've had a rough two months.

I’ve also liked Reichel for years. Two month sample size isn’t nothing. Especially considering the other positive sample size is smaller.
It’s hard to go PPG as a 19 year old in the AHL. The talent is there.

Center experiment. Moving him back. Musical linemates. He's mentally f***ed right now. He needs a confidence boost. Should have sent him out second in the shootout.

Isn’t that just another red flag for the coaching staff? It’s imperative that the young forwards actually develop. But Reichel is obviously having his issues and even Bedard isn’t playing that well right now. How long do they let it go? I’m really hoping it’s not years because it may not end up being just Reichel.

It's how I feel about Phillips and Kaiser too. Zaitsev has been a pretty solid #6RD. Phillips and Kaiser have both looked decent in stretches playing third pairing LD. Sit em both down, tell them no matter how well or poorly you play, barring injury you're playing every other night at this level over the next thirty games. They've each looked bad, mostly playing together with whoever is playing their offside looking worse. Tell them we'll evaluate after the next thirty games and the winner gets a prolonged stretch to end the year playing every night. No mental gymnastics, direct competition.
Instead we get a rotating veteran like Tinordi playing regularly who is an absolute plug that can blow guys up and punch faces but cannot play NHL hockey.
Kids don't look good next to him. No kidding.

And I like Tinordi as your #7 D Heavy. He's fun. He's entertaining. He's a deterrent. He's just not good.

Seems like he’s coaching the D for a development year and coaching the forwards for a winning year.
Are we trying to win or develop? Because we both know what it is so let’s play Reichel with Bedard and Foligno for 30 games and put him on PP1. This team has zero talent let’s go.

I've crapped on Entwistle plenty. He's been a pretty good fourth liner this year. I always give my honest opinion. When I'm wrong I'm wrong. It's happened plenty. But I'm not shy about giving my opinion. Just feel like I'm attacked too often for it when I seemingly give it and I've never had a track record for holding opinions when from year to year I freely admit to changing them.
Does anyone know when it’s most likely that we see the debuts of Nazar and Moore? Will both be part of the opening night lineup next season or will it take longer?
Bedard had a poor real game..Tge shoot-iut isxa phoney gimmick.. Brdardckedcthectean in give-aways with 5!!!
And of course no scoring nhe real game.
THAT'S HOW badl
Vlasic uncharacteristically had 3 giveaways...but he again showed recovery ability so these dod nodamage ..He played mostly with $9.5 who foronce had a $9.5 value good game at +3 and 2a...Vlasic was.+2 withv1a...and hechad 4 blocked shots.. Vlasic played over 25 minutes
He has played consistently well all season.
However I do not understand why on sone shifts LR had Vladic playing RD and $9.5 his LD partner and on other shifts they were back to the normal Vlasic at LD and $9.5 at RD...
I do not understand why LR even experiments with such a shoft in sides with them the switches back to normal sides..WHY? To me it adds more helter skelter than necessary..Why upset normal d-pair roles? LR should stop doing this.

Had the same problem last year. Said over and over again that LuRich isn't some incredible coach he's just getting a bunch of grinders to buy in and play over their ability twenty something games in. Said the team was objectively bad and we're objectively bad. Very much in the Bedard race. Like that's a talent but not at the NHL level.
LuRich hasn't proven much. He also hasn't disproven much. Everyone breathe.

Nazar will play this year if Michigan gets eliminated.
Moore is going back.
Losses are expected. So is development.
I don't think he has any idea how to coach young forward talent.

Get a time machine and trade him at the 2023 draft for Andrew Cristall, like I suggested at the time

I was playing the middle ground then and I'll play it now. He's got the rest of the year before I make a decision.
