I am surprised that not a single guy from AHL can step up and help us... We have all these great prospects with good potential yet we cannot produce a single decent 4th liner. What's wrong with this picture?

Not enough requisite experience and don't play heavy enough.

So in last 5 years no one mastered this art? Maybe this is something you have to be born with and pass it to your children.

Are your children at the offensive blue line?

too young.

How’s that 20 game sample compare to our own PP2 over 3.25 years?

They’ve done the bare minimum to attempt to fix these issues over the years. The best they’ve done is just shuffled some shit around out of desperation when it piles up enough for even they have to recognize it but with little to no thought actually put in it.

Hak thinks he’s back in the IHL with that PK, get your plugs involved & just sit back hoping to clog some lanes meanwhile the opposing team whips the puck around with ease eventually just shrinking the ice & backing you into the net.

Not firing at least Lappy is cowardly. The sample size is now 348 games.

And at this point would only be slightly appeasing.

What makes it even more perplexing is that the Phantoms use the same set-up but are far more aggressive and currently performing well on the PK.

This is the most obvious case of incompetence in the NHL right now.

I think the turnaround started about 3 weeks BEFORE Hakstol got canned.
They just started playing more aggressively, and the goaltending improved.

PK had top metrics (Corsi, xGA) even when they were playing badly, but goalies had worst S% in the league.
