GDT: Game 26: Flames @ Coyotes - 7PM - FSAZ

[XX]

They now need 2 wins for every loss to have a chance at the playoffs. 4% chance total. Only team with single digit wins, only 6 ROWs. Worst goal diff in the league despite good goaltending.

 

[_Del_]

"This team has no problems"

"105 point pace over last small sample size"

"Points are all that matter at the end of the day"

Since we're inarguably the worst team in the league, and we literally have nowhere to go but up from here, would any Tip-o-philes like to tell me what bad could possibly come from firing the great, wise Dave Tippett, at this point?

If anyone finds a video of the domi hit and fight please share.

Ownership and the GM need to decide if DT is the best coach for the team going forward; regardless of the current record.

This is not a situation where the team was expected to be a contender and is grossly under-performing.

We are under-performing, but with a quarter of the team having never played a pro game until 2 months ago, pre-season projections are tough to do.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Max Domi should stop fighting.

This fight was uncalled for. The hit on Domi was not terrible, but I think the Flames player threw his elbow up a little, and Max took exception. The team is showing their frustration, and understandably so, but better for him to try and elevate his game than risk injury...for what?

 

[RemoAZ]

2 - 1 ot loss is a win in Tippett's book. Only gave up 1 in regulation. Just need a few more grinders on the roster. Offense is overrated.

 

[Mosby]

Domi can fight, he just shouldn't. Why risk injury to our star players.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

2 - 1 ot loss is a win in Tippett's book.

Yes, it is, if the post-game comments I read on Twitter are at all accurate - he went on and on about compete level and effort and so forth. So I guess the continuing on-ice strategic and tactical issues are ameliorated by guys punching people.

This obsession with grinders that Tippett has irks me. Next Halloween, he should dress up as a gargantuan lunchbox.

Also, this:

Dougie Hamilton with the game winner.

...was such delicious, delicious irony.

 

[Heldig]

Good chance Domi misses a few games. That direct shot to the eye likely has some lasting effects. Hope no fracture.

Coyotes have more points than Vegas this year #Delpositive

I don't know if I can be considered anything remotely close to a Tip-o-phile, but the point is that no amount of constant, droning, endless, ad nauseum complaints regarding his coaching will remove him from the position and it's tiresome (at best) to keep reading said complaints. I mean at least if some of these posters could offer something fresh every now and then???

I understand that I don't have to read and can put folks on "ignore", but that's some of the greatest form of cowardice out there and sometimes, just maybe some one of the negative Nancy's might just have something to say that has value.

That's the exact thing that I'm asking from the coaching staff!

move Tipp up to the Exec Suite, bring Mark Lamb in as coach....not much of a stretch.

 

[WJF]

Fire Tippet already.

Someone please start crowdsource funding to cover the cost if necessary.

Our collective post count goes through the floor?

Honestly, the 40 minute effort was at least twice as much as I've seen most this year. Certainly the past month. It's a positive direction. Mostly because expectations and standards have fallen so low, but still a positive. I'd rather hear something positive from him when applicable than hear him rant about trading guys, throw guys under the bus, or just explain everything away based on "execution".

So you don't like negativity?

The ignore list is good for now if you don't want to listen to the same regurgitated posters.

Sorry man, I see it as a wimps game.

 

[Rubi]

Any news on Domi? Kid's tough like his old man.

So you don't like negativity?

If you can't differentiate between a face of the franchise fostering a negative environment surrounding the team and fans on a message board who blame Tippett for part of the team's woes, perhaps we've identified part of your problem.
