  1. They played well enough to deserve a win, but these games happen. Problem is this one happened in a stretch where they have been .sub 500 so the loss of the point is magnified. Motte will help the pk. Also I miss Sutter on the pk, taking draws and making smart plays. Podz emerging as a beast. I liked the pairing with Bo- they were awesome on the boards. Refs sucked in this one
  2. Podz is Gonna be a beast. Getting better each game
  3. To make matters worse we heard the Macarena and that song from Grease … dear gawd ..
  4. BB turns 25 in Feb. Garland, Bo, Miller are all older. On defence only Hughes is young. My concern is we follow the oilers path where one core was aged out and they had to start building around another core… keeping in mind that we will probably never win a generational player like they did to build the second core around. The window is now for this group, they really can’t sputter around for another couple years.
  5. At this point I’d put Bo on the pk. The centres have been getting murdered in the defensive draws, Bo seems to be the only guy that can hold his own.
  6. I’m trying to think of times in the past where the roster on paper seemed a lot better than what the record on the ice has shown. With sutter and motte out, and beagle gone you might be able to explain the atrocious pk what doesn’t add up is the lack of offence. Even with EP struggling you would expect them to score a little more. They added OEL and Garland. You with think they have enough talent to assemble three decent lines that can score. A large part of it has to be coaching. Even if green is not too blame, a fresh direction and some different ideas could jump start the team. How long will Benning give him?
  7. I look at all the draws they lost on the PK tonight. It seemed pretty bad. Which gets me thinking… wasn’t Dickinson brought here to be a defensive specialist… a beagle /sutter replacemnet… he’s flying under the radar imho .. he looks invisible to me
  8. The glue guys are not around this year. You know.. the guys that win draws and penalty kill.. and take the d zone starts with no glory… guys like motte, sutter , beagle. on the PP… give EP40 a rest for a while, put BB in that spot where he spent time in his first year.. I know it’s his wrong side but it will be an improvement. Take EP and Miller off of PP1, they are the weakest links. Miller with his bad decisions and EP being a shell of himself right now. try Hogz on PP1…
  9. Yup that’s the bottom line for me. At the end of the day all this is on Bennings watch. He picked the coach, he assembled the team. This is year 8, if they fail again he needs to answer with his job. This is a results business, how many more years does he deserve?
  10. Can the coach. If they miss the playoffs fire Benning too. 8 years into his tenure this is unacceptable
  11. I agree , he’s part of the problem . Make decisions like he’s handling a grenade
  12. It seems like they’ve lost every draw on the pk, hate to say it but this is where a beagle could help but the coaching is brutal too. Far too passive.
