Don't expect Folin to post a 70 Corsi on a regular basis, but since that bad first period, he looked like a real D-man, he's like a more experienced version of Hagg, good size, not afraid to use it, decent mobility, can pass out of his D-zone. Like a solid 3rd pair D-man. Doesn't offer much offensively, but right now we just want someone who doesn't imitate a turnstile back there.

He's played solidly as a backup in LA, so this isn't a shock, maybe he just needed to get acclimated.
Of course, he may be a backup b/c he's good for short stretches, then starts leaking.
We'll see.

I hear about Lappy and Knob, but what exactly is Gord Murphy's role on this coaching staff? Lappy takes the brunt of the blame for the PK, but if Murphy has a say on PK schemes, shouldn't he feel some heat as well? Being a former defensemen, does Murphy have some responsibility for team defense and helping the younger d-men along?

He coaches the defensemen primarily. You can get rid of that guy too for all I care. He’s just another dinosaur in the park.

Yep, don’t buy that for a second.

Keep spinning that propaganda.

Do you wonder why this team has no consistency? That's because they change lineups every night and change lines every period. Hakstol is supposedly this 'development coach' but persists in sitting the kids upon every available opportunity to play journeymen plugs who aren't going to provide sustainable performance or improve past what they currently are.

Fire Dave Fcking Hakstol.

They don't play with consistency because even when line up changes are made, there is no effective system maximizing the most out of the roster.

So 20 GA in 5 games with MacDonald, 11 GA in 2 games without him.

You have to think he’ll be back in on Saturday.

So NJ and COL at home, at BOS, NYI at home, then a four game road trip out west - ANA, LAK, SJS and ARZ. And all of a sudden the season will be 15 games old already.

How many losses in those eight games would it take for things to become untenable? I’m gonna say... six or seven.
