I'm actually amazed at how incompetent this team's coaches are.
It just amazes me that they try nothing new, our PP setup is the EXACT SAME and has been the EXACT SAME for something like 95% of our PPs, we did try the one tee with Matthews on the other side and almost scored, however because it didn't score the first two three times, obviously we scrap it.
Anyone with sense would do the following:
1.Move Kadri off the first PP considering he is useless out there
2.Use one to two different formations and stick with them for at least 10 pps
3.Either alternate between the two or go 3 of one (if they don't score) and then 1 of another seeing how the other one does and going from there (Matthews one tee being obvious one they cold try out), they can literally ALWAYS go back to the red hot Nov setup if all else fails, but at least TRY SOMETHING NEW
4.Replacing Kadri with either Nylander who is the obvious choice or whoever is flying that night rewarding players nightly considering Kadri has been ass the whole year
5.Leaving our first PP on for the entire 2 minutes
Absolutely mind blowing that these are NHL caliber coaches and they can't even think of the SIMPLEST adjustments they could make. Honestly having watched NHL GMs and coaches for a long time, I refuse to believe they are the Gods that some fans would make them out to be, most of them are merely 105-120 IQ ex players, many of them quite clueless and dimwitted and this example shows this.
Babcock's own rigidity and inability to make changes is mirrored by another one of our coaches and he loses his lid, does Babcock not have authority over his team? Does he not have the final decision? Can he not practice with them? Pathetic display by both of them, but ultimately even more so on Babcock considering he is supposed to be the HEAD coach and part of being a true leader is knowing when to override and take over for subordinates.
