I just chewed mine off...I just noticed my toenails are long.
I'm out.

Really good take and pointsUntil they can manage to get some practice time in the main thing that Keefe can bring is confidence and hope.
Babcock was an extreme micromanager. That is not a bad thing, but what that means is when players lose confidence in the coach they really lose confidence. If your coach is pretty hands off and you are mostly playing creatively, it doesn't really matter that much if you lose confidence in the coach. If your coach is very hands on and has constant input in every aspect of the game when you lose confidence in him that is the back of your mind every second you are on the ice. The PP goes a dry spell and every time you are out on the PP it is in the back your mind that the whole structure etc comes from a guy who you no longer believe in. When you start each game what is in the back of your mind is that you don't think this coach is capable to leading this team to wins. When your team falls behind what is in the back of your mind is that you don't think that this coach is capable of finding the holes in your opponents or coming up with idea or running the lines properly to give your team a good chance of getting back into the game.
It becomes all encompassing - you play every minute with nagging doubts that there is a big problem leading your team and you are powerless to do anything about it.
Keefe can stop using Gauthier as if he is the second coming of Bob Gainey.A question for my fellow HFBoarders.
What can Keefe realistically do to improve our chances in this game on day notice?
Looking forward to seeing all of this. Maybe actually take Shore out of the lineup as well.I mean, anyone expecting a turnaround in a day is crazy.
Tomorrow, about all we can expect to see is usage.
How much does Matthews play? Tavares? Where does Barrie play? Those type of things
Commie is ecstatic
That guy is pathetic. It's really sad to see.
yes, the turnaround could be quite quick, especially with a little luck.Matthews 23 a night
Jt 19 a night
Kerfoot 13
Goat 5
thats how a top heavy roster has to play. The depth delusion was the demise of ole egocock.
with proper player deployment keefe will look like a god
Great take. I find the psychology of sports is downplayed in the media. You don't hear these logical sort of takes. It's very black and white and quantifiabl ....."they're professionals, they will bring it every game". Yes, but they're ignoring the great influencer of all behaviour.....the unconscious.Until they can manage to get some practice time in the main thing that Keefe can bring is confidence and hope.

Effort. TOI for star players. Line blending.A question for my fellow HFBoarders.

Babcock always made me think of the Soviet era CCCP teams. Losing...
I expect a completely inspired team and decent results. We didn’t make this move to muddle along for a few weeks, we have to hit the gas today.Effort. TOI for star players. Line blending.
I don’t expect much until December
If he can make the kids happy it will help, but that won't improve the defensive liabilities of the team nor help with the back up goalie issue.A question for my fellow HFBoarders.

At the very least, there is no more excuses. I think this team has been embarrassing to date, now their coach crutch is gone, so produce. Pretty simple.I hope you're right. A change should provide some spark, some energy.
Of course most teams would have stepped up and helped out a new backup goalie and this one didn't. So I'm just not sure what we can expect out of them.
