Are you all blaming AV for trapping this year when we had no second line? Clearly AV is capable of producing a team who can score goals when there is the personel to do so.
And I'm not really harping on Gillis either. I like what he's done with the team. A lot of what happens is just luck and injuries. The one big criticism I have of Gillis going into this season, is not having a backup plan for Malhotra's retirement. It was clear that he was basically sure Malhotra wouldn't be an option this season, or at least a very low chance. Schroeder does not fit the big 3rd line good defensive center role. We should have solved that somehow. If we had a guy capable of doing the heavy lifting all year, I think the look of the team would have been much different.
That being said, long term, Henrik focusing on becoming a 60ft player might be better for our success in the long run.
Basically what I'm saying is, I like Gillis, but ***** happens, I hope my team wins.
