Yeah, this is all on the house that Verbeek has built.I agree there are probably a lot of guys playing injured like Gudas and McTavish. There's a lot of juggling and not all of it is Cronin's fault. But I'm still carrying a tiny pitchfork for Cronin. He just hasn't done anything where I'm really impressed. The team as a whole looks confused, lazy and uninspired.
Verbeek is more on my shit list than Cronin though.
I don’t think you can judge Cronin on this roster, but his system is boring AF (at least the way this roster plays it), and the improvements he may or may not have made suppressing shots (still not 100% sure that’s not roster based) is exponentially less impressive than just how much better Eakins was at having the team ready to play 60 minutes, regardless of the ineptitude.
The strength and conditioning group needs to know what Cronin is wanting/doing to the players though, in order to keep players healthier. The rampant injuries (aside for the freak ones)are unacceptable.
