  1. IMO we should fire JB and Green. Interim GM and coach for now. Try to find a president during the season and go from there. Some of the better names for GM won't be available till the off-season like Colorado's AGM.
  2. Yeah he's been off for a bit now. Some iffy defensive plays too the last few games including this one. Some of which have proven costly.
  3. Pod with his 2nd intermission bomb. He had a 1st intermission one too.
  4. Foal can be used for both young male/female but colt is strictly young male. Filly is young female.
  5. A new coach would essentially be process of elimination. A new coach would eliminate for certainty that coaching is a main issue. If the players cannot perform under a new coach then we probably can't have significant success with the group of players as it is. The fault would fall on the players for not performing but also on JB for not being able to put together a group that can have success. In which case a soft rebuild may be the best course of action. We have enough young talent to do so. Keep the young players like Petey/Demko/Hughes/Hog/Pod/Rathbone and maybe Boeser. Initially trade away the veterans like Horvat/Miller/Pearson maybe Boeser in order to net a solid return of high picks, good prospects and/or a young NHLer with promise. Look to trade other vets afterwards(Poolman/Hamonic//Myers?/etc maybe Garland/OEL too but they might be worth sticking around). Have a 2 year phase of garnering young talent and begin to build the roster off what you'd have at that point. We'd definite be absolute crap without Horvat and Miller for a time but you'd look to add solid veterans after the soft-rebuild phase to fill those holes and you'd have young talent knocking on the door at that point as well. These next two drafts present a good opportunity to do it if this team proves incapable as a whole, especially if we may draft top 10 again. Without Miller/Horvat we'd probably be looking at top 5. Like I said though that should be the last option when we've exhausted all others. Hopefully it does not get to that point but I would want us to be prepared if it does.
  6. He is only human and expecting him to save to team's arse on a consistent basis is beyond unreasonable, especially with the defense in front of him. You can probably expect ups and downs in his game throughout the season like almost everybody in the NHL.
