Speculation: RBAs next contract

[Big Daddy Cane]

I presume Daniels is part of the coaching staff extensions.

It's now up to management to try to address the PP on ice.

 

[Svechhammer]

Weeksie saying it's official.

Who could have possibly seen this coming

 

[Brock Anton]

Not thrilled about the “staff” getting extended. Would’ve definitely liked some change on the assistant side of things because at some point the special teams failures have to stop falling on the players.

A PP with Aho, Guentzel, Jarvis, Svech and Burns should not be incompetent.

 

[Negan4Coach]

Wonderful so goalie coach included in that huh?

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

YAAAAAAAASSSSS!

I agree. So happy Rod is back I am choosing to celebrate. But lettuce pray for some adjustments because I have no idea where they’ll come from at this point.

Powerplay performance in each series loss with this staff (shorthanded goals against not included)

• vs Boston 2018-19 they were 1/14
• vs Boston 2019-20 they were 2/15
• vs Tampa 2020-21 they were 2/14
• vs Rangers 2021-22 they were 2/18
• vs Panthers 2022-23 they were 2/14
• vs Rangers 2023-24 they were 2/21

But sure, let's bring back Daniels. I'm sure scoring 2 goals maximum on the PP over a 7-game series will work out for us the next time around.

 

[HisIceness]

I mean, we really aren't going to do any better than Rod. But man, I really really wish "the staff" was replaceable. There is zero excuse for the piss poor special teams in the playoffs.

For the 1 millionth time, he doest even run the f***ing powerplay.

Literally every time I've asked, no one has a clue who runs the PP. I've heard Daniels, I've heard Brindamour, I've heard both.

But considering we're obviously not letting Brindamour go, that leaves one person who should be falling on the sword for those PP results

 

[HisIceness]

I will do it. I will coach the PP.

How about the players fall on the sword? Do you think the coaching staff told them to stand still and not move around at all? Do you think they coached them to lose damn near every face off so thet arent even staring the powerplay until 1:40 left? Did they coach Svech to trip the guy off the draw?

This isnt the NFL. There is no such thing as a magic special teams coach. Anyone remember Kirk Muller? He hasnt had a good powerplay since Andrei Markov.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I will do it. I will coach the PP.

Honestly, I'm still of the opinion that we should take a penalty immediately off the draw to start every PP. We had players that performed better with more open ice to work with, and obviously 5-on-4 wasn't much of an advantage for us, so going 4-on-4 from there couldn't hurt

 

[ElmCityGuy]

Well I don't claim to have all the answers but I think the main problem with the Canes Power Play is they don't score enough goals.

Here's what I would do. If they fail to score on the first PP, decline the next or bribe the refs to award a penalty shot instead. This will save us all the aggravation and prevent unnecessary short-handed goals.

Personally I think it's so genius, it will eventually become a trend in the league.

No seriously, we scored twice on the PP and allowed 2 SHGs during the Rangers series So basically a net neutral with the man advantage.

I'm not sure if any 4-on-4 goals were scored in that series, but even getting +1 in that stat is a better result.

Now if we get killed 4-on-4 as well, the obvious solution is to just keep taking penalties and trying our luck scoring shorthanded

 

[chaz4hockey]

Needed multiple years because next one or two could be dicey. I’m figuring ‘25-26 is when the team may be positioned to be a bigger factor again.

 

[WreckingCrew]

I'm honestly going to be pretty disappointed if we come back with the exact same staff after showing once again we don't know how to change things that aren't working.

Life is full of disappointment

 

[Daeavorn]

Im happy with this. I enjoy doing well in the regular season because my dad likes to watch them more than the playoff games.

I already own the copy right to this idea.

 

[VAcaniac]

RBA’s requirements:

1) Martinook on the first line
2) J staal second line
3) andersen lose every game

Glad we have this moron locked up.

Okay, I'll bite.

Name another available coach that could be more successful than what Rod has done in his time here.

 

[Svechhammer]

Wonderful so goalie coach included in that huh?

Man, I actually think goalie coaching was a very bright spot for us this year. The way we rebounded after Raanta collapsed and Freddie went out and we needed to dumpster dive for Martin speaks to very good coaching.

As for the playoffs, Brindy is the one controlling who plays when, so that's on him. And there's little you can do to coach away the mental mistakes Freddie showed late. That's just one player crumbling under bright lights

 

[AD Skinner]

Thy Rod and his staff they comfort me

 

[Daeavorn]

Rod has earned the right to coach here as long as he wants. The man helped us win our first cup and now has helped us rise to prominence among hockey clubs that normally hate us.

5 years is a good long time, and this likely could be Rods last ride. I still believe that he is a good coach and as long as we make the playoffs every year we have a chance to win the cup.

Next year is gonna be a transition year and after that we get to see if Nikishin comes over.

I'm excited to see how Rod can help the young man develop.

Let's go Canes!
