  1. Miller had a much better angle. He should have taken a shot.
  2. We gotta pot one in first... one of these shots will go in soon, with or without a post's help.
  3. If Gaudette makes that happen I'll do cartwheels in my backyard, naked.
  4. Yeah that's essentially what I meant ... tools = players, craftsmen = assistant coaches. The manager (head coach) can only do as much as what his men brings to the table with those tools.
  5. In other words, we have all the right tools but not the right craftsmen who know how to best utilize those tools. Their big boss already gave them an extended toolbox already though. I'm not sure what he'll do with the manager.
  6. Tbh with the state this team's in right now I don't think having a mid-tier player or two back will make much difference. To me the biggest problem is they aren't playing as a 5-men unit on the ice as they did last month. On offence there's too much space between forwards and defense pair, so cycling gets broken up easily letting the other team gets to the loose puck and clears the zone. On defence our gap control is also often suspect, eerily similar to the last year's level sometimes, and the other team skates circles around us at will. In situations like this it's gotta be the coaching staff who should brainstorm and come up with necessary "adjustments" to their game plan, before each game based on the opponent. You just can't keep playing the same style of game every night and pray "Good things will happen if we keep doing what we're doing." Other teams study you, video review you and figure out the best way to shut you down, especially when you're a good team. This is not a knock on Green btw. Rather, it has perhaps more to do with his assistant coaches because usually they are the ones who come up with detailed game plan corresponding to their area of expertise (Brown & Baumer in particular). You can't sustain winning in this league without constantly adapting and adjusting. It's that simple.
  7. The same November curse that had happened to them for the past 4 years.
  8. I knew I should have gone out and enjoyed the sun instead of this constipation of hockey.
  9. All I'm gonna say is I'm so F^*%#!!% glad we don't have too play this F%##!?**%! Devils again this season. What a F%#<!£*^~|€*!! of a hockey team.
