I know everyone says coaching is the issue when their team is sucking, but Dallas really needs a coaching change. Their system and style takes zero advantage of their offensive talent.
Yeah I'm not sure what kind of system Jim Montgomery has them playing in.....it's either a horrible system or the players have completely tuned him out already.
The talent is there but it's clearly not being utilized. Whether that's on the players or coaching, I can't tell.
Not to fans of Central Division teams. It was easy to see.
Edit: I'm not saying they'll end up with 30 points or something. Just saying it was obvious to people who paid a bit of attention that they would be a bottom 2 team in the Central this year.
Outside of Zucc and a few lesser pieces leaving, and Pavelski/Perry/Sekera getting added, it's more or less the same team that thumped Nashville and nearly took out the eventual champs before folding like a cheap tent in Games 6 and 7. Maybe that should've been the red flag, I don't know.
But their defense/goaltending was best in the conference last year. To see all of it just completely disappear overnight and for the team to be in this bad of a funk, it's still surprising to me.
That said, I'm curious to see if/when they can turn it around. Maybe a few more losses will force management to make a move.
San Jose didn't wait very long and it's looked good for them so far. Maybe Jim Lites needs to go public with some harsh words for the team's top guns, maybe that'll wake 'em up.
Can't be any worse than what they've heard from the fans during the first few uninspiring home games. Nothing but booing and sarcastic support for the visiting team as the Stars lose game after game.
he was the heart and soul of Dallas. Thats why they look so bad now.
He was definitely fun to watch and I'll admit I was on board with Dallas bringing him back for this season. That said, the way this team has played so far I'm just glad there's at least a possible lottery pick to look forward to.
