Yes i'm not sure it's the coaching honestly. I mean this kind of poo poo happend under bylsma too, but we got to bitch about absolutely baffling strategy and line combinations instead of just... poor performance.

Bylsma was not the kind of coach that was big on convincing players to work hard either. The team clicked so hard when he replaced Therrien exactly because he was everything Therrien is not. But now, as often happens, the team has swung completely in the opposite direction and are now at a point where they need Therrien or someone like him to bring them back toward balance.

Honestly even at the beginning of the year i accepted that we probably wouldn't go too far because it's very obviously a transition year. I'm not sure I want to pin much of this on the coaching, and I like almost every move JR's made so far. It does seem like it's discipline and just lack of defensive effort, but i'm not too sure how much a coach can do about that tbh...

Of course it's still popularly believed that Johnston was hired exactly because he's a nobody that can keep the seat warm for a year and then be fired without incident to make room for Babcock.

Also it would be hilarious and endlessly entertaining for the two months it would last if they hired Torts. I wouldn't be shocked at all to wake up some morning and read that Malkin had flipped out and strangled him to death or vice versa.

It's worse when you paid to be at the game. Bennet is the only one playing full strength tonight.

It seems they almost never establish possession in the offensive zone on the power play by skating the puck in They either dump it in or if the defenseman carries it in he then just rings it around the boards where the forwards then lose the puck to the other team to then clear it out. It's so frustrating.
