  1. The one thing I like about Myers with Hughes is that it limits Myers from carrying the puck up the ice. Just hand it to Hughes and he’ll take care of the rest. So many times Myers has flashbacks to his rookie season and thinks he’s an elite puck mover. The less he moves into the offensive zone the better.
  2. Dave Lowry coached his son Adam in Winnipeg. It was fine.
  3. Yep. Anyone who says it isn’t like losing a family member doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Dogs are better people than people. Also sorry for your loss. I’ve had to put down two dogs in my life and it is devastating.
  4. Prediction: We see the worst defensive effort of the season tomorrow night. They have three coaches inside their head right now. Green telling them to collapse back in a box the first sign of trouble, Boudreau telling them to jump up and be aggressive, and Tocchett telling them to play a balance.
  5. He’s gonna be making 8 mil next season. He needs to be able to drive a line on his own. Plus Garland has been our hardest working player the last couple games.
  6. You sure? Cause I’ve seen people make that argument based on where our PP is ranked. And it’s like yea we should have a top ranked powerplay, any coach could achieve that. More important for me is does it consistently make a difference for you in games? Does it allow more short handed chances against than shots on goal? How many times this season has our powerplay actually been an advantage for the other team?
  7. Is he though? This is the fallacy that I always argue against. Having a top 10 powerplay is useless when it’s as consistent as it is and has given up more SHG than any team in the league. The powerplay is red hot against weak teams, but is so predictable and easy to shut down against actual good teams.
  8. Never said bad passes was about being tired, you’re making that connection. Stuff like back checking and winning puck battles requires not being tired though. Right now what we’re seeing from the players is mental exhaustion though.
  9. That comes down to confidence though which everyone on the team is struggling with. That confidence has been shaken because of how this season has went.
  10. I liked what Tocchett said about Millers ice time. Right now he averages around 21 minutes a game. Maybe he should be playing more around 17-18 minutes. Maybe he actually thrives more with less minutes. It’s obvious he’s gassed a lot during games. That’s when mental mistakes happen. You can’t have guys killing penalties and being on the powerplay, and being leaned on for matchups. It’s just doesn’t work (unless you’re Bergeron). They need to conserve his minutes for important times in the game. That’s why it’s so important to have role players in the bottom 6. Something this team needs to address badly in the offseason.
  11. Seravalli is a hack. However really not hard to connect the dots there. Ownership is currently paying 7.5 million for three coaches. Obviously they wanted to ride it out for as long as they could.
  12. I’m sure the players don’t want him in there. If his questions are as dumb as his tweets they probably get real tired of him and his toxic vibes.
  13. I think Allvin just really struggles with humour. Might be a Swedish thing? I think that went over peoples heads. He was making a joke that of course he knows about the negative reaction. He’d have to be living under a rock not to.
  14. Did Jeff Patterson really have his media accreditation taken away? Thats awesome if true! Would make sense why the blood thirsty media are flinging their feces more than ever.
