For a guy who you never really notice, Tom Pyatt is really bad tonight. Like the 10th time he's weakly just passed it up the boards along the ice trying to get it out of the zone

I have never seen such an extreme of philosophy. In the Lightning days they'd set up, cycle and never move their feet. Now they gain entry, pass twice frantically and then wing one low percentage shot after another at net that has zero hopes of going in. There's just no happy median.

im actually so happy this team isn't just lightly suckign where they finish a couple of spots out of a playoff spot, a season like this can finally start the rebuild on a elite draft.

He wanted structure, and Boucher is all about structure.

Unfortunately, in order for Boucher's system to work properly you essentially new a few star players capable of creating on their own. We have Mark Stone capable of that and then...a black void.

You mean players like Karlsson, Duchene, Hoffman, Ryan aren't capable of that? Did you see last playoffs? Or these players recent past?

Stone hasn't been creating much either in that prolonged slump. It's not an ability problem, it's a team problem.

You could point to almost any player and see a problem but what's wrong with Pageau this year?

And it confirms that the entire system is broken. Everyone is playing well under their capabilities.

I know I'm going to have a nightmare tonight of Dorion trading Ceci + a pick + a prospect + another pick for salary retention for a 30+ year old with 1 1/2 year left to UFA to help us finish in 11th spot.

Something needs to happen. At first, I was appalled at the idea of firing Boucher but the more games I see, the more and more I warm up to the idea of letting our best offensive players be offensive players under a new coach.

At this point, it is so sad to see the lack of efcective creativity when they get the puck.

This time, it is Stone who forced a shot who get block then thet score...

Credit to the Ducks.. they disn't allowed us to have dangerous shot from the slot or at least, very few.

The feeling when you have no answers.
"Wow I might be fired soon, let me change nothing."
