Don't Have SKILL to Get by Anymore

We aren't talking could have, we are talking would have.

Booth was playing great at the time of the injury, he missed 20+ games and was 4 goals off 20 at the end of the year. Booth would have score 4 goals in those 20+ games with the way he was playing.

But he didn't and he isn't ..thats reality and that is where the team is.

But it didn't happen to Henrik and Henrik doesn't have a history of being injured and ineffective in every playoff for the last 5-6 years. Again this is reality, you don't buy reality?

Because we can't rely on him to be healthy. He could literally be the best player in the league and stil be a waist of money because he hasn't played all season. He isn't going to score 40 goals again and he has embraced the idea that he is ovechkin or kovalchuk rather than a selke winning shut down centre (and our coach seems to encourage that. ) .. he does not make his wingers better. A good first line center makes his wingers great.. see Henrik . Kesler could still return good value and we could likely exchange him for another top line player straight up to some american teams.

as smashian said half our team is injured, and yes...

we been playing without a 2nd line for pretty much the entire year, and without a 2nd and 3rd line centerman. Huge losses, yet we are still in 4th, so we are playing pretty good and doing the best grinding this season out.

Kesler kassian and booth are not going to make a damn bit of difference in the goal scoring.

And we have a winner for dumbest quote of the year.

Here we have a team that has won the PT for the last 2 years including getting to a SC Final without MG giving it any decent upgrades.

Now, in a compressed season of playing almost every other night (with all the travelling and lack of down time for recuperation or practice) we have been struck with horrendous injuries and players losing form and some playing through injuries, yet we are still 4th in the Conference..................yet you say AV needs to go?

No man, it's fans like you who obviously live in a fantasy world who needs to go.........and damn quick.

Let's cut the BS.

Yes this team is HORRIBLE lately, there is no denying that, anyone who does hasn't been watching the games.

Please, PLEASE for the love of god, people, stop using injuries as an excuse, many team have a few injured guys, some teams have multiple star players injured (see Ottawa). This doesn't give the team an excuse to collapse after being scored on. Having Kesler, Booth and Weise back is not going to turn this teams philosophy 180 degrees.

I know this has been beaten to death, but i really do think a coaching change would do wonders. Just to change up the message, change the voice in the dressing room, change the way special teams are run. Change is a good thing and can act as a fresh start, these players still have talent, I believe AV has lost the dressing room with the same message that's been repeated over the past 4 years.

Change is needed. Period. Either trade away the core or change coaches.

I'd blame coaching before I blame so-called poor leadership from the Sedins. Line-juggling, player favoritism, and "letting the players figure it out" obviously doesn't work for this roster anymore.

But hey, beating the horse to a pulp this season...
