Girardi. Him being on the ice is like the team being on a penalty kill for 20+ mins a game.

 

[leaflover]

They're not good enough, plain and simple.

 

[Festinator]

For jets, Coaching/Injuries

 

[wintersej]

For Boston it's lack of any scoring beyond Pasta and Marchand.

 

[M88K]

Lindy Ruff

 

[A91]

Tod Mclellan

(I expect this thread to have many, many coaches)

For another answer
- Inexperienced team, still very young and dont know how to finish off games. We will learn with time I hope.

 

[CanuckGame39]

Canucks. That's why.

Canucks.

 

[iDangleDangle]

Lack of (elite) talent among forwards, d-corps having Green and a then bunch of people playing roles way over their heads.

And Blashill, he is utilizing an overtly defensive system revolving around shell hockey and overplaying vets and the supposed "shutdown" players.

In a nut shell: the team ain't good.

 

[Hisch13r]

We suck

 

[izzy]

Jake Allen

 

[rynryn]

Voodoo Curse. It hangs over all MIN teams. I've come to terms with it whether it's a last minute shanked FG or a third period collapse or just being completely horrible all year for years and years and years despite high picks.

 

[Riggins]

Habs:
Size, weakness at center and need a top 4 LD

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Because they couldn't score in a whorehouse.

 

[SnoopDogg]

Everything? Does that count?

 

[CrypTic]

Sharks

Injuries or lack of secondary scoring. Besides Couture, no one's scoring much outside our top line or PP1. We finally have three good defensive pairs but now we lack scoring.

It's not as important in the playoffs, but our power play and penalty kill are both mediocre this season.

 

[FlamesFan18]

Flames

Short a:
1 first line winger, Top 4 Defenseman, and Starting Goalie

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Defense.

 

[Juicy Pop]

The Flyers invariably run into dynasties; even if we make a push we'll just be the stepping stone for another franchise.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Defense can't move the puck.

Rangers

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Sharks

Uh special teams are kind of important. One of them has to be elite if the other is bad. If they're both decent that's one thing.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Because the pens won it last year. Haven't been repeat champions in 20 years for a reason.

 

[PensPlz]

Cause we won last year and the fix is in.

 

[CrypTic]

Yes, hence not as important as in the regular season. Not as important =/= unimportant.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Ours is not goaltending or defense

It's lack of true number 1 C or another elite forward
