They lose 2-3 more in a row and I think he's gone.Lavi is going to ride or die with the ineffective vets.

Hahaha. I wish but not a chance.They lose 2-3 more in a row and I think he's gone.
I think it happens because BMac is feeling the heat as well.Hahaha. I wish but not a chance.
I hope you’re right. If we are going to suck this year or struggle I at least want to see someone who will attempt to bring along some of these younger players.I think it happens because BMac is feeling the heat as well.
hard to prove much when you dont even get 9 minutes of ice time. It wasn't a good game for him, don't get me wrong, but the "there wont be any limits on the young guys" comment just seems a little off when both he and protas were benched for most of the game
so playing bad veterans over rookies with potential to be so much better than said vets is going to help us win?I have no issue with Snively getting minutes. He is fast, nice shot and looks a lot strong on the boards than McMichael. I thought he should have been in from the beginning over Mojo but he too has impressed. Like it or not, we aren’t trying to rebuild… we are trying to win.
I’m not sure what your point is. Snively is 26 in his first year of a one-way NHL contract. He is better than McMike right now. Mojo is better than all of them this year. Eller is better than McMike. If he had stepped up then we could move Eller, but he has not. Full stop.so playing bad veterans over rookies with potential to be so much better than said vets is going to help us win?
you really, really dontJust got home. Saw the score. Do I even want to go back and watch this one?
Negative offense across the board. Quite a feat.
MoJo, sure. He has been much better than expected this year. I cannot confidently say based off of this year and last year that any of the other players mentioned have anything on McMichael besides the age number being higher than 25I’m not sure what your point is.

but if this doesn’t get better in the next couple of months, they may need to just blow it up a bit.
Fehervary is atrocious ive been saying thisThe forwards are one thing but this is a sneaky bad defense also. Carlson & Fehervary are really limited, often stationary defenders, leaving wide gaps to be exploited. Couple that with forwards also incapable of covering up for anything defensively and it's playing with fire against most teams halfway competitive. Odds are most nights they will lose the battle of wits and athleticism and that's something they really need to clue into organizationally.
They did have something going earlier on in the game. Within their limited groove they can be effective and that's keeping it simple, poised on the puck and playing as units. But in terms of blunting momentum, elevation, the PK, all of the hallmarks of highly competitive teams...they don't have that kind of gas anymore. They also don't seem to have any apparent longer-term plan other than continuing to stick to their increasingly narrow path to what's becoming a pretty stale recipe.
