  1. It's Vegas though. Now if he traveled to Winnipeg........
  2. Maybe another victim of our coaching and is happy to have escaped.
  3. Yip. You play with guys like this. They talk a big talk in the room, look good in warmup. But when the puck drops they are hardly noticeable and useless.
  4. Exactly, and it's why it's time for a veteran coach. Not a rookie, finish the season with Shaw if you have to, but only a veteran coach need apply this off season. Unfortunately I see Green finishing the season here and the $&!# stain that will leave on our vets and young core may not be erasable.
  5. I can't buy into the "team has no heart". Not yet. If they feel their coaching staff is inept they will not play anywhere near their potential. Has anyone noticed the mannerisms? They don't belive in their boss anymore. It's obvious.
  6. Watch. OEL and Garland came out of the gates playing very well. They will fade. Even Dickinson started better. Schmidt came here a legit top four, faltered. Now on fire in the Peg. So much evidence pointing to an inept coaching staff. There is more, but we all know the story. If JB can't recognize his mistake then screw him. And if Aqua can't spend a little extra on the coaching staff then he's inept. Enjoy no playoffs and empty seats if something doesn't change Aqua.
  7. Green and JB as well. He punched the send button on the waiver releases wire this fall. That decision alone doesn't warrant JB's firing. But his utter lack of being able to give this team some toughness, and god forbid, an identity after all these years is inexcusable. He decided to bring back Coach Ghandi and staff. I've backed JB for years, but I believe I'm at the end of my rope. If, it's a big if, a new coach can salvage the season, JB stays. Otherwise, time to clean house.
  8. Yes. And if it doesn't get turned around then enough is enough. Heads have to roll.
  9. Ya. Been a fan forever, like the early 80's. This year seeems an extra let down. Lots of good pieces in place but some dummass decisions starting right at camp. Coach and staff have to go, should never have been re-signed. If they don't make playoffs, JB should fall as well.
  10. 100 percent. I've lost count how many times this team comes out and it looks like the pregame, white board prep got mixed up with a different opponent. They seem to never be ready. And add to that, Green probably struggles to adjust the mirrors in his car, let alone a game.
  11. Most wins Green gets are in spite of him, yes. But mostly Greens wins have come on the backs of superb, outstanding, goaltending.
  12. Veteran coach need only apply. Look around the league. Trotz, Cooper, Mclennan, Sutter, Tippet, Sullivan, Q (dumbass, but great coach) just off the top of my head and all doing well. No more experiments. This team needs a respected veteran and if Shaw is appointed interm that's fine. Hold out and wait. But no more Coach Ghandi.
  13. Seems a little much, but it was a dumb move by Poolman. The optics are ugly and really, I get it.
  14. So true. Sometimes, especially in hockey, you need to lose your $&!#. It's about the moment, and it also sets the tone for future events. It's been sorely lacking on this team. I agree we had it to an extent in 2009-11. That team played for each other. But really we haven't been legitimately tough to play against since 94.
  15. Yes, that was a disgrace. I swore I saw Eddys blue and green soul ripped from him that game.
  16. Of course. But this is Aquaman and I doubt he will want to pay Green as well as high profile coach each for the next two years.
  17. I totally see this. Shaw hired with interm status. Aqua isn't going to want another high paid coach on the payroll. It makes sense anyways. No other coach out there really gets me that excited anyways.
  18. Ugg, just ugg. This season is a punch in the gut so far. I really thought the team was way better going into this season.
