Pre-Game Talk: Porked in New York. Jan. 3rd, 5pm

[ZJuice]

Honestly we should keep Tippett on staff after the season as an adviser, and just do the opposite of his line up suggestions

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Need to drop the next 7 for Holland to fire Tipp imo.

 

[McDrai]

If we want Michkov we keep Tippett for next season

 

[bellagiobob]

I find it difficult to cheer for a loss, but it might be for the best to get pounded the last two games of the trip, and then we have a decent amount of time off in the next few weeks, so if a coaching change is coming, it’s probably later this week, or it’s not going to happen till the summer.

Ah yes, the old Costanza "do the opposite" strategy. Brilliant!

 

[29Beast97Mode]

How about Maurice as head coach?

 

[Del Preston]

I'll never cheer for a loss, but if they are going to lose, don't be one of those "the guys deserved a better fate" losses that Dave likes to hang his hat on.

 

[BlackDogg]

Win it for Bob the water chemist.

This game seems like it could be a fun one but also could be a bad one. It's the only game on, so might be a lot of foks watching.

 

[T-Funk]

Wasn't Eakins fired after a Rangers game after a similar stretch of horrid losses?

Fire the coach, don't fire the coach, he's not leading us to a cup and he's not being renewed. Give Woodcroft or Gulutzan a tryout while you conduct your search that should have already started.

 

[Cloned]

GG won't be behind the bench due to COVID protocol so the team might be even more lethargic than usual.

This would be the ideal scenario, similar to what Hitch did. But I doubt Tip has any interest of staying if he's demoted, especially given the current pressure cooker situation.

Have a feeling Tippett's bff Ron Francis is going to ring him if he isn't renewed, to replace Hakstol after an abysmal inaugural season.

 

[VainGretzky]

Rangers will have the fresher legs to start Oil should be able to outplay them 2nd and 3rd but I have a feeling we"re down 3-1 after 1st

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

I think this thread title would have benefited from being longer.

“Porked in New York, and…”

 

[yukoner88]

Porky's is a movie trilogy

Outside of the Toronto game we really haven’t been wrecked all year.

Maybe if we get our doors blown off to the tune of 7-2 something happens.

The first one is a classic.

 

[Tyrolean]

Not gonna watch. Why bother?

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Oh for f*** sakes. We need to win.

We're stuck with Tipp regardless of how long the losing streak gets.

You guys seem to forget. There is no 10 game losing streak 'breaking point'.

I hope I'm wrong but I think we all know we're stuck with Tippett till seasons end.



Also Babcock isn't an improvement.
