Ossi Vaananen Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Benning is on 1040 right now. I'll add notes and a link when they update. Soundcloud: Notes: - on Jake - step forward on recent roadtrip. 'since already out there go play a few games in Utica, get confidence' - arrived in time on Sunday, healthy scratch on Tuesday. Met as group, best thing is to learn in Utica. Play minutes, develop. - Harder to develop young players in west coast (less practice time). - Want to be competitive, compete for wild card spot. Get to net, score more goals. Still solid defensively. - Offense has to come from Eriksson, Baertschi, group effort. Burrows is looking better. - Sabres/Canucks rumors (Kane) - 'wouldn't talk about players from other teams (lol)' - Wants to add forward with speed/skill - Stands behind Willie. Losing Hansen/Tanev tough, still competing. 'Keep monitoring' - Dorsett - needs testing - Miller - just has flu, backup tomorrow. - Tanev - hasn't skated yet, 'couple weeks, no firm timeline' - Rodin - skating before group, roughly 3 weeks out - On Defense - have depth, rebuilt entirely. Young, strong group. Use depth on blueline to add forward (!!) - On waiver players - look at every player, can he help? If yes, pick him up. Likes depth, Megna/Chaput playing well. - Give chance to Utica players over waiver wire - Rebuild while trying to be competitive - drafted well, more depth. tricky waiting for players. - On fans wanting complete rebuild - references contracts, Sedins, teach others how to be accountable, win. Feels the fans understand what he's trying to accomplish, 'no apologies'. Good young players in system, some develop on team. Good team in future.

Yah I think Willie's not going anywhere for a while yet. I was really hoping to see what a different coach would do with this team, but oh well.

wallstreetamigo Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Still blaming injuries and expecting players like Eriksson to produce with no real opportunity. Still thinks this is a playoff team (WTF). Did he really say Sedins and teaching accountability and how to win in the same sentence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think management was well aware that this season could be anywhere from bubble playoff to top 10 pick team before it started. People pinning it all on WD are just looking for an easy scapegoat and can't be bothered with things like context or critical thinking. Do I agree with every decision WD's made? No. Do I think he's the sole difference between our current place in the standings and being closer to a ~15th place team? No. At best a better, world class coach might have us a few spots better. And comically, that's actually the opposite of what most people clamoring for him to be fired actually want, as they're largely 'tankers' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I am not naive enough to think Desjardins is the only problem but he is a problem for sure. His decisions are counter productive to what this team needs to do. If you are going to ride the Sedins then ffs put Eriksson with them and leave him there to find his way. Get him on the PP with them too because he is a better bet presence than anyone he uses in that role. Double shifting Jack Skille ffs????? He is a throwaway much like Vey was before him. Give the opportunity to people who can maybe do something with it and who are in the plans of the team going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
