Coop should be fired for anything short of the ECF

 

[Steazy Doo]

We should be embarrassed.

 

[Stammertime91]

Wow, pretty big trade.

I'd agree if this was 2012. It's good for LA. Poor Gaborik. Used to be one of my favorite players til he went there.

How so? Just curious. The team isn't playing well and Boston is going to pass us. How long you gonna hold onto Nov & Dec?

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Now I can see why the Sabers beat the Bruins recently.

Ah well, didn't want the stupid cursed President's Trophy anyway.

 

[Lightning1995]

Boston leads 5-2 and will take over as the NHL +- leader.

For those that don’t care about winning the division I guess that doesn’t matter, but I believe playoff positioning is important.

I don’t think finishing ahead of Toronto is a slam dunk.

 

[Sky04]

Point cost us the game imo, guy can't finish thinks he's a rookie again.

lmao holy overreactions batman

Lost 2 in a row on a back to back. Time to blow it up.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

This team gets complacent so damn easily

 

[Steazy Doo]

Yzerman needs to do something soon. Dotchin and Koekkoek bumbling around out there like chickens with their legs cut off. Stralman needs a few less minutes, or at least a solid partner to lean on.

 

[T REX]

Lots of posters with their heads in the sand(ice).

Not holding onto the past bud. The team played good vs the leafs last night, just didn't get the preferred result. This game it was easy to see that they were tired, didn't help that they played a bad game to top it off. I'm just not hitting the panic button.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Kucherov looked dangerous tonight, I guess that's a positive.

LOL. They were down 0-3. That's funny. Toronto took their foot off the gas. ALmost only count sin horseshoes and hand grenades. Funny stuff!

Agreed.

We rode the Dotchin/Hedman combo for far too long and it's all coming down on us now

Team is done, not making the playoffs, trade everyone.

You're right, we were lucky to even get one goal. I mean how does this team even manage to win any games at all?

 

[Powerplay17]

Lighting richly deserved both losses. Being down 3-0 last night and then pissing away a 5 on 3 for almost two minutes tonight.

Despite the ridiculous hot start, I’ve still not fully trusted this team. Still don’t.

Who said that? No one. I said the team was struggling. Do you disagree? The effort and urgency are not there. Disagree? Or you gonna put your head face down in the pillow again. Hyperbole is weak.

 

[Master P]

Agreed.

Maybe for the price it would take to get McD we get green and hjalmerson instead? just a thought.

More hyperbole. Sad dude. Weak sauce. Not surprised at all.

Sure i think the team could play better. I just don't see it as bad as some of the other posters do on here.

 

[gg720fla]

Hopefully when SY makes a move , it is someone who also is a good leader. This team really needs someone to get in their sh...

Since we made the finals we've been Jekyll and Hyde every year.
2016: Stumble and do the bare minimum to get into the playoffs, and then flip a switch and make the conference finals.
2017: Struggle mightily until the hole is too big to overcome, and then proceed to go on a 30 game hot streak which isn't enough to make the playoffs.
2018: Build a massive lead in the standings and then fall into a shell (recent slide).

I think we just have to be patient and ride this out but it's frustrating that this team can get so lazy for such long stretches. Maybe we're too talented for our own good. We should bring back "safe is death"
