I'm not unhappy with the result tonight but Willie has to be the most mind-bogglingly stupid coach in the NHL. Let him drive this season into the ground and then fire his ass.

DeNiro Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Loui Eriksson's effort on the second Flyers goal was brutal. You can't win with players that float on the backcheck. How did we give this guy a NMC? Seriously? You pay a player market value you shouldn't have to include a No Movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make watching the games much more bearable. I know he's not the sole issue of our PP woes, but there is no way an player of his caliber should be on either of the units especially when you have Sutter and Hansen sitting on the bench. His presence on the first unit is actually more symbolic then meaningful. It represents much of what is wrong with this team. There is no one else to put there. That's the sad thing. Everyone is suggesting this guy or that guy, but in reality none of them can change the fact that our first unit throws the puck around the perimeter until the desperation pass through a sea of legs gets picked off and thrown down the ice. I've watched a lot of other teams this year and no one else runs their power play quite the way that we do. If we had even an average power play....... On the other hand, we'd just be setting ourselves up for playoff failure once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, I'm thinking they could be best suited at something like Sedin - Sutter -Sedin off the 2nd or 3rd line. I'm thinking it would be best if the Sedins retired at season's end.

I was worried there for a minute or two that we might actually win both. All that would have done is stave off the inevitable. The "possibility" of limping into the playoffs and getting creamed four straight and in the process hanging onto players (at the trade deadline) that we will not resign and loose for nothing. If there was ever a definitive window for Benning to do his thing (NTC be damned) this is it. 5 days off leading up to the deadline. Only 1 point in the last two games, and LITTLE or NO chance of making the playoffs with this current roster and coach. LETS BE SELLERS JB! Come on! We know you can do it! Ever watch Curb Your Enthusiasm?. We all feel like Larry David. Just trying to accomplish something simple. We know what needs to be done, but something strange happens every year, and nothing meaningful gets done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are we keeping a lame duck coach around? It's bad for him and bad for the team. Acquilini's are paying too many other coaches off at the moment. Their just trying to ride it out with Willie to save a few bucks. Who knows maybe they'll give Mike Keenan a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
