Imo, we caved too early with Torts because it was uncomfortable rather than seeing it through to get to the other side. There's a reason why he won the Jack Adams with the CBJ because they were willing to endure the uncomfortable to win. THIS!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 For everyone running around waving their arms in the air. Here is the game plan. Fire Green. Put Shaw in place temporarily. Start a coaching search. This focuses the issue on the players and allows them to move on from Green and his ridiculous coaching. We start from there. Possibly the team responds and goes on to a playoff year. Possibly not. But Green is over and the disfunction is over and the team starts on a new path where the players are accountable without Green as an excuse. Without having to leave huddles shaking their heads. Without feeling like nobody can get on the same page. A new day. That's all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 7 minutes ago, TheCammer said: We have played less than 1/4 of the season. That hardly constitutes a lost season that can't be saved. The 'fans" on this forum are cringeworthy. Are we in trouble? Absolutely. We still have 66 games to get it right. Calgary, 3rd in our division, are 8-3-4. We'd basically need a straight 10 game winning streak to get us to a 0.615 winning percentage and even then, Calgary right now (if they continue at this pace) would still edge us with 0.667. That is to say, even a 10 game winning streak won't save us now and how unlikely is that anyway? Realistically the only way we're getting in the playoffs is if we steadily chip away. Yes, this team has the talent to do it, but we haven't played at 0.700 hockey in years and we basically need to play well above that for long stretches of the season to make the playoffs now.

Like Melrose, I think we've seen the last of him behind the bench. But, Babs is available. The question is, would FA spend what it'd take to get him and the much-needed new GM for him to work with?

Yeah, Gillis would PERHAPS be a good POH; but that all depends on Aquaman & Gillis renewing there business relationship ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team needs to compete, I think most people would prefer someone more proven. That being said, you're more than welcome to your opinion. Yeah your right lets take Boudreau who has never ever won a cup ever. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Boudreau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsiders Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Liked Motte's game tonight, he's the only guy that throws hits and actually hits to make solid contact. You know who else does that and should have made the team out of camp... Will Lockwood. He plays the type of game we need to bring energy. Not this Bailey guy who just skates as fast as he can for 30 seconds and then changes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
