jbandalo Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Bruce Boudreau would be my choice. Keep Clark, keep Shaw and let Boudreau pick his PP coach. Travis Green with a .487 winning percentage? Time to go.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbandalo Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Here's Bruce Boudreaus winning percentage....just a little better wouldn't you say? A good coach can adapt to his players strengths and weaknesses. Green is unable to do this. He belongs in the AHL.

Popular Post wallstreetamigo Posted October 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2021 Steps to take now: 1. Hire Jim Rutherford as PoHO. 2. Immediately fire Benning and Weisbrod. Rutherford takes over as interim GM and starts a comprehensive search for a long term replacement. 3. Immediate fires Green and appoints Shaw interim head coach. Fires Baumgartner, King, and anyone not named Clark. Brings in experienced assistants to work with Shaw. 5. Starts a comprehensive search for a new head coach while also waiting to see who might get fired this season. Give Shaw a real shot at earning it. - Do not hire any rookie coaches with limited nhl bench experience. - Do not hire any inexperienced GM. - Flesh out the front office with good people to decentralize everything having been overseen directly by Benning or Weisbrod. Delegate to those good people. There ya go Aquilini. Now let your temper and frustration convince you this is the way to make the playoffs and make $$$$ 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 It's been mentioned we have no identity, we do. We are easy to play against. Bieksa mentioned it last year. We aren't physical, we give up our zone easy, we shoot at the goalies crest, our PP doesn't move and is predictable, constant giveaways, fans are quiet, tickets and beer a rip off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good coach can adapt to his players strengths and weaknesses. Green is unable to do this. He belongs in the AHL. I listen to Bruce a lot on NHL Network. He is a lot more analytical than he appears. He asks his players what situations they are most comfortable with, who they want to play with and works with it. He seems adaptable to the teams strengths and weaknesses. Green should be coaching the Booster Clubs cheer team. Even then he'd tell them to settle down and then bench the youngest for trying to be to dynamic and creative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fans are fine if they have something to cheer for. It's hard to cheer when your teams just phoning it in. Plus the atmosphere at the arena is actually great, everyone is extra friendly and happy just because they're finally able to have a night out at the game again, and there's still plenty of rowdy boys around ready to tell the other team whats up. I'd go to a game if you can even if the on ice product is crap, still a good time. The price of beer is a rip off though.

NHL97OneTimer Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I'm less concerned about the winning percentage than how they're playing. The bounces, schedules, etc in a couple of games could change the stats quickly. However, JB has done his job this year.....not for a contender, but for a solid playoff team. This isn't a situation where some players aren't firing that we could point at.....most of them are not. The biggest issue is that this team looks disorganized and not moving as a unit. So it's tough to not point at the coaching. I'm still going to give Green 10-15 games this season, but that's approaching fast. Baumer, King and Green should all be concerned right now. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnAntoski Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I'd put Corey Hirschs' name as a possible replacemebt cause listening to him doing a version of coaching from the coach - he seems to quickly identify the flaw(s) in the systems being on played the ice... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time someone screws up he could point to the ring of honour and tell them to shut up and listen . Joking aside, Juice is fixed as a national host for many years to come if he wants that. Unless he misses the skates, I'm not seeing him move for a long time. I sure do miss the superman. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
