Are we still making progress?
Still making progress guys.
I actually agree with him. Last night's game was not bad at all. I would guess we had a slightly higher number of chances, and we kept McDongle quiet for basically the entire night.
What this team needs to stop doing is constantly making the first mistake and playing from behind. Teams like the Canucks and Oilers, and especially their coaches, love playing with a lead. Every time we do that, the other team clogs up the middle and forces us to go through five guys constantly. The lack of odd-man rushes or time and space in general then makes it look like we aren't doing anything.
I don't really understand where you guys are getting the information that guys aren't giving a shit. Making mistakes and playing with low confidence does not necessarily coincide with apathy. Even complacency itself does not necessarily imply wilful contempt.
I think Ward wanted to give a wake up call in light of complacency, but it seemed to me like guys were skating hard last night. Our biggest issue right now is execution in the offensive zone.
Not tonight again 1st period! Ouch. The Flames is barely flickering again.They are not in synch, one guy wants to take hockey back to the 80s, the other guys want to play non contact hockey. Add in a few guys that can’t do it anymore and a clueless coach. Even the best goalie in hockey can’t save them.
Monahan is MIA. Oh yah, he is actually not playing, not dressed. Where's our defense? Gio is a mere skeleton, coming close to an "aborition", of his old self.We generated f*** off on offence and got shut down hard in the 2nd and 3rd. Oilers aren’t defensive stalwarts either, so wtf is going on?
I need someone to clarify how players not giving a shit and quitting on the team is making progress. Wards own words, “we need players to give a shit”.
I feel for Ward, he seems like a super great man, I’d love to drink with him. But I don’t think he’s the one to leads these troops through a wall.
Showing "leadership motivation skills" eh! Not.The words came right from Wards mouth. Not everyone looks checked out, but a lot do and the coach commented on such.
Yep, that is toward " bottom feeder status".Are we still making progress?
