GDT: At St. Louis on election day

[AeroFishOne]

I love how y’all continuously believe that coaching is all this team needs. Not like the guys on the ice are playing like s*** the last 4 games.

 

[Stickpucker]

Can we just surrender yet?

I think we're actually getting worse.

What a terrible off season.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Is it possible for a goalie on this team to make any difficult saves?

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Yeah none of this is on coaching. Not showing up in the 1st period in any game since the first 5.

Those horrible f***ing line combos and total reluctance to try something that hasnt failed miserably night after night, is 100% on the coaching squad. As is that shit excuse of a power play.

 

[dogbazinho]

When a coach's only redeeming quality is motivation and his players are no longer motivated I ask what good is he as a coach?

 

[AD Skinner]

Yeah none of this is on coaching. Not showing up in the 1st period in any game since the first 5.

That's all the coaching staff has though- motivation and accountability and rah rah rah. And they're not doing that successfully either. If your whole philosophy is "strategy is overrated let's just outhustle everybody we play against" you better have your guys bring that hustle

 

[MinJaBen]

This goddamn team loves to shoot themselves in the foot.

Well, I bet we win the corsi there, too.

 

[The Faulker 27]

McShitfest sucks. Goals are due to the team's breakdowns, but he looks terrible.

 

[Canes]

Can we fight O'Reilly?

No one on this team has the balls except for Ferland, but he's turned into a perimeter guy trying to play a skilled game in preservation and preparation of hitting UFA in the offseason. Maybe Williams too, but he's a grandpa who's looking done more every game.

So we're still the same neutered Canes we've always been.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I think its a little bit on the coach to put out Williams, Wallmark, Staal, Slavin on the 1st PP unit with the 29th rated PP and it get no shots.

This team was controlling the play and, frankly, winning the game until the turnover leading to the first goal. After that, it all went to shit.

So that tells me they're fragile (which isn't surprising, considering the losing streak, the number of young players on the team, and the team's general history). They don't handle adversity well. That's something that the coaching staff will need to address.

But they're down because of player mistakes, not anything the coaching staff can control.

 

[The Stranger]

Pathetic. I'd fire the whole coaching squad during the 1st intermission.

Patience young grasshoppa.

 

[Tryamw]

Is it possible for a goalie on this team to make any difficult saves?

Signs point to no... May take a trip to Alpha Centauri...

 

[Joe McGrath]

Yeah none of this is on coaching. Not showing up in the 1st period in any game since the first 5.

I’m pretty sure getting the team prepared properly to start on time is the coaches job.

If the players don’t care enough to show up ALREADY, what does that say?

 

[HisIceness]

f*** it all.

Every goddamn player on this team is for sale except Aho and Slavin.

This is inexcusable. There's no way a team can execute the same bullshit night after night and year after year.

 

[Tryamw]

**** it all.

Every goddamn player on this team is for sale except Aho and Slavin.

This is inexcusable. There's no way a team can execute the same bull**** night after night and year after year.

This Decade almost proves you are wrong... #@$#@ it all to #$@%

 

[Canes]

The players aren't good enough but that doesn't exactly absolve Roddy of his abominable coaching either.

 

[SaskCanesFan]

So say at the end of the year, Ferland walks, Fox decides he doesn't want to play here, and Lindholm puts up 70 points. Still glad to have gotten rid of Francis for not doing anything? I mean, actively making the team worse is at least something, right.

 

[Unsustainable]

Is it possible for a goalie on this team to make any difficult saves?

They make easy saves look difficult, if that helps

 

[CanesFanBudMan]

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Don’t know if I’m directing that at Rod or at me for falling for the hype year after year

 

[Stickpucker]

This season is going to get really ugly.

 

[HisIceness]

The problem is that they weren't going anywhere with him standing pat either. Damned if you do/dont

Little of Column A some of Column B

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Pesce's job is obviously to protect the center of the ice. Stay inside the dots. That's basic pee wee hockey shit right there.

So why does he chase a guy out on the wing for no reason? Because he doesn't trust other guys to do their jobs, plain and simple.

Is that coaching? Well... it's not *not* coaching. Mostly, it's just a lack of confidence in one another.

 

[dogbazinho]

We should trade Pesce or pair him back up w/ Slavin

 

[AD Skinner]

I will miss pesce when he is gone
