This staff managed to ruin an elite PP unit including 3 elite PP players.

It’s almost impressive.

This game was an embarrassment. I'm not sure how you can look at Thompsons stats before this game and think he belongs in the NHL.

I'm also not sure how ypu continue to play him, other than "Hak".


...i mean, AV.

For the Flyers.

In the 1969-70 season, Chicago had a 5-2 lead with 9:16 to play against Montreal whose head coach pulled Rogie Vachon. The Blackhawks scored five ENG and won, 10-2. That was in the regular season.
yup I remember.. but he had a decent PP unit... so it made sense.

I know everyone is lining up to blame Giroux.

AV is easily the biggest issue this post season. It's not even close.

TK barely showed up and he did a better job than AV.

AV could have had 37 years worth of Martini's in a single evening and coached better.
Giroux was great all playoffs long. If people are too ignorant to see that then that’s on them.

The worst part of these playoffs is that they’ve destroyed any positivity I have for next season. They could go on a 20 game winning streak, win the presidents trophy and finish with 130 points and I still wouldn’t be excited because I would know that the coaching staff would screw the team over in the playoffs. f*** me

Was just expressing this to a friend of mine. This has been the most joyless playoff experience I've ever had, almost feel worse about the team going forward than I would've had they just croaked to the Habs. The more I saw, the less I liked.

AV's personnel choices were awful.
---I'd rather lose faceoffs knowing we can get it back for a chance than have f***ing Thompson in the lineup.
---I'd rather have a rookie that show off some moves in Frost than stick with a determent of a player in f***ing Grant.
---What f***ing purpose does Braun serve in all of this? What purpose does Hagg? They are nothing and replaceable players. The fact they wouldn't put in Ghost, who had 2 more goals than TK in these playoffs, is really telling.

AV has zero clue of what he's doing and he's the home f***ing team, as in last change.

f*** THE ISLES. Those losers will lose easily vs tampa. I see no real improvement on their roster besides sorokin, dobson. Thankfully we will kill them next time we see them.

No ghost, no lindblom, tk will never score 0 goals, pp should be improved, patrick, frost. At least we have a bright future. f*** the isles

I'm with you. The psychological ripples from this are like tsunamis.
