Hey, you don’t have to convince me. I’m a “Maurice is a good coach who has lived with horrible teams” guy.
I mean... we have one of the absolute worst center groups in the league (bottom 3 without question) and one of the worst goalie tandems and a mediocre group of wingers and a very young defense. And we’re a game out of a playoff spot.
How much could we possibly be leaving on the table? Back when we were young and optimistic and making preseason predictions, pretty much everyone agreed that we would be on the bubble. We still actually are on the bubble, in spite of several players performing like a flaming bowl of ass. I’d chalk that up to at least decent coaching along the way.
I actually really like our wingers for playing a non grinding possession game. I see us constructed a bit like the Blackhawks who other than Toews had crap down the center and mediocre to bad goalies bailed out by defense and Quenneville s system.
