  1. This can be up for debate but our rating in the north division should be 

     

    Goaltending- #6 tied with Edmonton, Ottawa 7th

    Defense- #3-4 with Montreal, Toronto, possibly Calgary/ Winterpeg ahead

    Forwards- #5 ahead of Calgary, Ottawa

     

    We are on in solid 6th place on verge of hitting 7th and should in the last playoff position. Our injuries have also been minimal.

    JV, Gauds, Schmidt, Miller, Pearson, Hamonic, Bo, Beagle, Roussel, and Holtby are all under performing which makes it difficult to trade anyone tradable asset.

     

    Can blame this on higher expectations, the schedule, Young star pressure, but other teams have their own set of challenges too. we're not special.

     

    I've been a supporter of Green overall, but he has stubbornly stuck to " high Ozone pressure, hard to play against system" which is simply not being followed consistently and we're constantly being exposed.

    That's on him and its time for Green and Baumer to go at the very least. We really have nothing to lose here. Like someone suggested bring in Stan Smyl and a temp coach to finish the season.

    Sent loui down to Utica, bring up Lind or Rathbone , or both and rotate them in the line up with Juolevi, big mac. and let the chips fall where they may.

  2. 41 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said:

    what were the zone starts? did Beagle take an offensive zone draw more than once? 

    3 D zone,. 4 Neutral and no Ozones.

     

    Normally they run around 40% considering their role and Zone starts ,  so the 11.7% score was pretty lopsided.

    Certainly dont want to rain on their parade after a 5-1 win,  but I'm sure this has Green thinking about changing assignments or rotating LE and Jake out of the line up with other 3 lines rolling pretty good

  3. Hate to admit it but I miss Marky especially.

    Demko's doing ok , but there are 4 teams in the north that have better goaltending right now, and Calgary's one of them

     

    in the end you need a goalie to steal a game when your sucking wind and that hasn't happened...... yet

    Dare an armchair coach makes an opinion here (lol), but this coach would ride Demko until we get a win. No B2B's for awhile so why not.

    That last 2 games were absolutely winnable so carry on
