This one in particular was the fault of @Dasyotesfan92 since he was the one who suggested a Saving Private Ryan thread.
I don't care if the Coyotes never win a game this season. I just want to see our youth get better overtime.
In order to get to overtime we have to not suck and actually be tied after three periods, though.
You should have known, Saving Private Ryan does end with the protagonist dying after all.

tfw you bring in Hjalmarsson to get the best out of OEL but it turns out they suck as a pairing and OEL just sucks in general

Chayka has to feel like the hockey gods are angry at this point. What a silly, absurd turn of events.

I'm not thrilled with coaching. Like at all. I'd be willing to let Tocchet prove himself and our PK isn't terrible, but MacLean is first on my shit list. Domingue next. Richardson hasn't really shown me shit either.

Get their sh** together and go sweep Dallas this week.
Edit: Louis postgame comments heartbreaking, Louis answering every question “I just have to be better.” Poor guy knows it.

Other than Keller, Crouse, Rieder, Hjalmarsson and to a lesser extent, Duclair, everyone else is on my total shit list currently. Domi may have been there but man he was terrible tonight.

Not sure if I've caught it with our new guys but I still see some of the returning players making the same habitual mistakes they did last season. Particularly on D.
There's been a huge turnover here. Both in players and coaches and it's obvious to anyone with a pulse that they aren't all on the same page right now. Whether it's a mental issue with some players falling into the same funky attitudes they did the last couple of years when they blew leads in games.... or a coaching staff who can't figure out how to get the most from what they have... or both.
I've seen some moments this year where they absolutely looked great, and then watch a bunch of them fall back into old stupid habits and go off the rails.
100 percent agree with this. Those players have been the only solid ones so far.
We look worse than last year but we have more veteran talent and way more young talented forwards. If Tip started this way, he would get raked over the coals.
If they aren't on the same page, that is a coaching/system problem. Vegas has all new players, but somehow they are a cohesive unit.

Over the first five games, Goligoski, Demers, and OEL haven't even been half as good as we need them to be. Stepan is looking a lot like a complimentary player as well. Apart from that, Domingue is falling apart. Passing has been bad, but it's Demers and Goligoski with the absolute worst passes and decisions with the puck. There is a lot of panic with the puck on this team. A lot of very bad decisions with even the least bit of pressure. The story of the season is unforced errors.

Vegas also hasn't had five years worth of losing. So stop comparing this team to Vegas.

On the lighter side....
Strome has two assists so far.

Five games played and we suck. Guess who we get to practice against, a team that sucks. Gonna be hard to get better.

I liked the post game interviews tonight. I think they can dig out but they're going need help. They've got to face a team soon that has a really bad night and we've got to catch a bunch of luck. I think if we can steal just a little momentum it can go a long way. We're wallowing. I bet this team plays well when they're having fun. Nobody is having fun right now. We need some luck.
