I asked him three times to name who on the ice not named Rask that he blamed for the loss. He declined to respond.
I'll answer that for him. Last night loss should totally be put on Claude and here's why.
He (especially last night) set his players up to fail.
He ended up putting Pasta with Marchand and Bergy which for me is 2 much for the 18 year old as playing on that line he will face the best players night in and night out.
Campbell playing the minutes he does. I mean even Campbell must know he's being over used. Can't tell the coach to stop putting you on the ice but I'm telling you.
If Campbell played his 5-7 minutes a night with his PK he would be much more effective.
soda on the 4th line. soda is a guy that needs to play with other players and this has been evident all year. Campbell smith and Soda 3 guys who have struggled all year is not a good combo by any stretch of the.
Spooner- he needs to show more confidence in this kid and coach. Was really hoping he was going to re unit the Pasta Lucic Spoon line and try and catch Trotz
Sleeping and get them on against Washington 5-6 Dman. Or even try and double shift him on the wing if need be. He's been out best offensive weapon for a while now
I know it's tough on the road but a good coach finds a way.
This was one of Claude worst coached games in a long time and IMO he was over thinking it to much.
Use what got you there.
