Goalie coach blows. That dude needs to go.
Sure? it's called an open line of communication, ever played sports before? Players are allowed to raise any concerns they have to the coach or anyone in management, I'd assume grown men are able to voice their opinions in a team environment.
But no, you're probably right, anything the coach says or does is unquestionable, players should just sit back and straddle up, especially in professional sports
Agreed, and he's had solid ice time on the PP for the vast majority of the season and has been largely ineffective. My question was why do you keep playing him there when he's constantly doing more harm then good? You want to try him on the PP? ok try it for a few games, 15 games and still sucks? alright we'll give him for 5 games, still not producing? alright take another 5.
Carle ices more PP time then any other D-man on this team, you can't tell me we don't have better options..
Time for Boucher to go. Guy is totally unprepared for the job and that's spreading to the players. At the absolute worst, switching to Cooper this offseason will be a lateral move. We really can't get much worse than we are right now.
While I would like Cooper I think we just need a change. Once Boucher's 1-3-1 system was figured out by Boston we have not been playing well from last year translating to this year. We have too much talent upfront not to at the very least be in a playoff spot. I hope Boucher proves me wrong though.

Boston didn't even solve the 1-3-1, we played absolutely rock solid against them in game 7 and made up the ridiculous depth of the Bruins by playing a smart system. Doesn't help the fact that the NHL decided to eliminate Tampa's best weapon (PP) for no good reason.
The league ****ed us by ignoring Horton throwing **** at fans after game 6. Should have been suspended, but nope. Boston had a date with "destiny" in the finals.

I know. We could not get a single call going our way during the series. It is a shame really. I think we would have beaten Vancouver in the finals.
You can't be serious. We were pushed to the limits and we pushed them to theirs. In the end, they were 1 goal better.
That may be, but Horton should not have been in that game. Whether or not he makes the difference? Can't say but if a league is going to let a player throw trash at fans in the stands without punishment then that is bushleague.

He squirted the guy with a water bottle, when that wasn't enough, he pegged him with it. Shouldn't have been playing in game 7.
On the Red Wings board there is a discussion about Babcock's future. If he is available I would very happy with him.
Also caught up with new assistant Marty Raymond. Said it was his choice to come (to Syracuse) to help out, TB didn't demote him
Raymond's deal is up after this season. Said TB has told him it will offer him some sort of job in the organization, if he wants it
