Blaming the coach at this point is weak. When one or two players play like $&!# that’s on them, when it’s this many that’s on the coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 MIN and NSH playing really good. Unless team starts playing better this could be a problem for us to make playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning made 2 really bad hires but he also restocked our pipeline, I let him fire green Green was here to develop our young players. EP, Hughes, Boeser, Virtanen, Marky, Gaud, Horvat all seem to have done quite well in that regard. He might not be the guy for the team to take the next step, but he did what he was hired to do pretty damn well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it is painfully obvious Green is getting the full year to see what he can do with his team. So calling for his head every game is tiring at best. Especially when those posters arguments are weak at best. And surely there's no baiting on the Fire Green camp. None at all... lol Have never called him an incompetent fool. Your words. Not mine. You posted 30 confused emoji tonight. Thats baiting partner. Look. Green will probably not be fired until after the season. But calling him out is useful if you believe he needs to reevaluate what he's doing. Shrugging and accepting poor coaching because management will probably wait till the summer is not helping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering more about Benning's future, potentially 5 years without playoffs & they mortgaged the future to make it this year. The cap situation is coming home to roost & it doesn't seem to be getting any better for next year. Green isn't going anywhere this year. If Benning stays, I wonder if firing Green would be a somewhat Torts-like last resort move, as JB's job would almost certainly be riding on next year. If Benning is gone, who knows if a new GM would want to keep Green around. I like Green but its hard to defend this passive defensive structure. You could see early in the year it would be problematic. If we lose out on Toffoli and he can't manage the cap then that would be the start of the snowball. If we don't make the playoffs this year and next year he'd be gone for sure. NJD would get a lotto pick and fans would be in uproar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter and Roussell taking penalties late and Hughes only played one shift in the last 10 minutes of the 3rd and that was after the 4-3 goal. Hughes played over 18 minutes and his partner Tanev played around 16. Maybe he was exhausted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, not to mention his unwillingness to change his lineup after a loss(Ottawa). He also keeps playing Myers and Fantenberg together when its clear its no Bueno.

He refused to change his lineup after the Ottawa game. That is coaching. Sorry. Baumer runs the defence. And I never said he is a flawless coach. They did out shoot and out chance Ottawa they just didn't score. That's not egregious enough of a reason to fire him. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great depth. They need to round out their games a bit more though. They're still young. Agreed. But then you can't expect them to be more than secondary scoring when they're getting bottom 6 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s easy to say trade these guys and get cap space, but if it was like that every contending team would do it. the leafs had to trade their 1st away to dump cap. Are you suggesting we do the same? Leafs were in a more dire situation and everyone knew it. Marner was a RFA and had to be signed. We don't have to re-sign anyone big and can let guys go, which would not be good but it is still not nearly as dire as signing a Marner who could sign an offer-sheet. That said I do think we will have to give up assets but not as bad as the Leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nave Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 That was a horrible penalty by Roussel at the end. What was he doing? Don't blame Sutter for his--he was caught in an awkward position. We were the better team tonight, but their goalie was better. Even when it was 3-1 I thought Domingue looked shaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwags Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Moral of the story: Take less shots. Seems to be the key to success. Anyone know our records when we have more or less shots for than the opponent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the GM can not be an idiot and don’t sign those players, all this talk about needing vets to show the young guys how to win, yet the vets are the ones who have cost them a lot of points this season by taking stupid penalties or making dumb mistakes all season long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cannot handle a reporter how can you handle the room...?
