GDT: Game 38: Coyotes @ Canucks - 8PM - FSAZ

[CC96]

Are we as bad as the 2014-15 team?

Worse, because this team has so much more talent, yet is on pace for the same number of points. It's literally completely Dave's fault at this point.

Gettin about that time to rotate the Dave, yessiree

I changed yet another thread title already too.

Hanzal..... and his regular mid-third period trip to the penalty box.

I couldn't find this one freaking anywhere. I even looked on like the 9th page of Google with no luck.

Thank you.

But the Avalanche are keeping us company.

Lol, nice.

2 to go til what? 2 til tipp is fired? idk...idk if ownership will do it. 8 game losing streak (&counting) and underachieving talent (after separate 5 and 6 game losing streaks earlier in season).... they SHOULD, but won't.

There's a five day break after the next two games. They don't make any changes then, they don't give a **** and odds are this team is gonzo.

 

[Plub]

I don't' even know anymore. Just, what the ****? I do know 13 and 19 are really bad.

I particularly enjoyed the broadcast team all reading from the same script. Heard "chasing the game" and "no margin of error" all night. Then the salted ham starts his question to Tipp with "margin of error" and "chasing the game". I'm sure glad we have a media that takes its talking points straight from the team.

On Sportsnet they have an entire segment dedicated to analyzing the coach's decisions, including if they're good or not

At this point I don't know what is the matter. Talent is definitely an issue. Our defense seems to only know how to bang it off the walls. No breakouts up the middle like many other teams accomplish. In the offensive zone, we can forecheck at times but nobody ever goes to the net. Perlini, Duclair and Crouse seem to try at times but Reider and Martinook are worthless except on a rush. It also doesn't help that come Friday, there is a good chance that 3 out of 4 centers will be waiver wire pickups or a conditional 6th round trade. Still think sending Perlini, DeAngelo and Dvorak back to AHL and Crouse, Chick back to juniors just to get them out of this tire fire might be the best for the future of the young guys. I keep watching, but convincing myself to continue spending money to go to the arena is getting tough.

That's seriously what every non traditional hockey market needs.

Why would nontraditional markets need talking hams to interview coaches?

Wouldn't a nontraditional market team need someone interesting? Listening to the same boring spiel every night doesn't attract anyone.

We need a Torts/Brooksie thing going on! People will tune in to the game just to experience the post game drama!

 

[Summer Rose]

I didn't even watch and I feel empty inside.

Dumb down the content for "non traditional hockey fans" i.e treat them all like they have an overall IQ of 5. It's exactly what FSAZ does.

It may as well be;

Sweaty Ham - Coach Dave Tippett, it would seem you lost the game, which means you do not receive any points.
Tippett - That is correct.
Sweaty Ham - Thank you for your time.

They need to give the keys to the young guys and just go with it. Make sure they are getting top minutes every night. Our worst players are vets and that's the issue. There's not vet leadership and I believe this has been mentioned before by the team itself.

If Dave Tippett turned around and punched Walsh in the nose during a post game presser, I would give him an extra year to turn things around on the ice. One season for every punch, so if he hit him 6 times, I would not gripe during the entire extension period.

Until Domi's back our top line should be Duke/Hanzal/Vrbata, Tipp can trust Hanzal and Vrby. Give em all 20 min or so a night like when Domi was in.

Next two lines should have Dvo,Perlini, Crouse, Rieder, Nook, Holland/Burmi. 15-17min a night for those two.

I love him, but Doan is really a problem right now. He should be a 12/13 forward. But because of who he is we have to play him in a non-fourth line role. Which I understand. He's Captain Coyote but it's not ideal :/

Ideally it would be mid run-on question. Leaving Walsh stunned. They stare at each other for awhile.

Tipp hits him again.

It's all over ESPN, top story on every PHX news station. Bringing in a tonne of free advertising which leads to a 2k increase in attendance.

 

[WrinkledPossum]

Depressed and starting to blame each other. This isn't a good environment.
