It feels like you are leading to a strawman, but... Turner Elson.

More to my point though,

Elson
Ford
Puempel
Kuffner
Turgeon
McIlrath
Pearson
MacLeod
Loggins
Lashoff

Even more to my point though,

Nielson- 2 GP, 0pts, 1 SOG

Helm- 3 GP, 0pts, -3

Dekeyser- 2 GP, 0 pts

Green and Hronek- 3 GP, -4

Glendenning- 3 GP, 2 SOG

Abdelkader- 2 GP

Filppula- 3 GP, -1

Daley- 3 GP, -2

AA- 1 GP

Larkin- 2 GP


None of those players were involved in a competition for playing time, or involved in building timing and chemistry, and they will all be contributing to our record in a week. I think that's concerning, and a sign of poor planning/leadership.

I've qualified my position multiple times, by admitting that the week off is an uncommon circumstance, and I'll gladly eat crow AND adjust my impressions of the coach, if a week of hard practice knocks the rust off Larkin, and we look like a hockey team and not a collection of over the hills, misfits and mercenaries.
To be fair, some of those guys were injured, especially AA. Would have been good to work on chemistry with Hirose, but it is what it is.
