Coconuts Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Wanting a coach that can get us to the cup is something every fanbase wants, but we have to walk again before we can run. We're a fringe playoff team at best this season by the looks of it, we have to be more. At this point winning the cup shouldn't be the aim, we need to get to the playoffs first. Can't do one without the other, and it's been a long time since we were a shoe in for the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season is teetering on the verge of a meltdown and GMJB and Travis Green seem to act like they are making progress and Aquilini better not be drinking their kool-aid. Greens probably gone within 48 hours i think. If not in the next 2 days, after the Avs game on the 17th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team isn't built the way Carlyle would want his team to be built and play. Small, slow, soft, bad defensively and TERRIBLE penalty killing isn't going to win any playoff series no matter who you're playing. I get it; and a new coach will certainly, used a handful of his first games to assess the team and perhaps use the offseason to make the necessary changes ie: Calgary. Also, when they hire a coach will reveal there intentions for the current/upcoming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least having a chance to win and being entertaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought front row tickets to the AVs game, hoping to see Greens last game or a new coaches first game but more than likely I’ll only see $15. beer.

Didnt realized it until the corporation I am working for had changed there top dog. The culture should always be reflected by the person at the helm... He/She outlines the direction, which the organisation should take to obtain its targets. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was young I used to go to parties and while all the guys were grouping together being manly I hung out where the girls were and always got lucky and to the guys I was such a Casanova, I never let them in on my secret because it was so simple but it was to just be in the mix. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried about a cup, though I'd like one, I'm just tired of seeing us get lit up and stumble. At least compete, be in the mix. Yeah. I think for me, just thinking about becoming a cup contender is so depressing. I just want the boys to put up more of a fight. To play better than they have been. That's all I'm asking, instead of seeing our team being routed night after night. Eventually losing like this does take a toll. I mean, look at Edmonton. They've lost for so many years, and so many of their players that could have thrived, that should've thrived, didn't. Eventually, they were so bad they landed a &^@#ing generational player in McDavid, and then Draistl. I don't know what the problem is with this team. It makes me sad just talking about them, sadder yet watching them. I used to get excited about game days, engaging here on these boards predicting the score, talking about the game, but now it's just so sad. I skip the games, because I know they can't kill a penalty. The body language on the players. Something just isn't right. Benning and his 8 year tenure, Aquilini's and their cheap approach to staffing the organization. Green and in his inability to adapt to his team's personnel. I don't even want to know what Wednesday holds for the boys. I don't want them to get booed, but if they get routed again by the same team that routed them a week ago, I think the boo birds will come out and rightfully so. They're underperforming, and we pay good money to attend these games, buy the food, purchase the merchandise during a &^@#ing pandemic that has cost so many people financial pain. It's not easy making money and a living in the best of times. This isn't the best of times. It's a privilege if we're able to attend the games, buy the foods and drinks, purchase the merchandise. And this team sucks. It's frustrating to have waited 8 years and the team now, doesn't look like they've been constructed correctly. Media needs to get in there and find out what the &^@# is happening with the locker room. Because nothing explains why Pettersson has been so poor. 16 games into the season now, and he still does not look anything close to his previous form of old. Maybe he needs to focus more on hockey and training and becoming the best player he can be, and focus less on "building his brand" Reeks of some maturity issues there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team's on a 4 game losing streak. It doesn't feel like they can win another game right now. Are they able to fix the PK before Wednesday? Cause if not, we're probably looking at another 5 or more goals by Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
