Well that sucks. We don't need them hiring someone that can actually stop Allen.

It's worse when we look at this. Serious question, have we been tanking?

they had some clunkers last year lacking effort


you don't lose by a td if you are giving effort

- homiedclown


Which is why i said almost never. Im aware

Let's just not pretend that it was a major issue all year long. Part of their identity was never giving up. They had serious 06-07 vibes where even down 3 with 10 mins to go it didn't feel out of reach

That was much of the year. Even during their losing streak and putrid March they still scored goals

Talent trumps all…except coaching, opponents, physicality, determination, self-respect, and on and on and on…

I assumed they'd fire Donny by now.

I'm still of the mind that the team isn't this bad. Forward group has juice. I don't care that I'll get yelled at for holding this opinion, it's the truth. Need better defenders. Need a 4th line. But there's fixings here for a good plate.

This 100000% this. There were no issues with this coaching last year. It was all get better players and get better goalies. (see Bryson/Stillman/UPl/Levi)

8 players career years. Same coaching.
Maybe just maybe the year they had last year was unsustainable and they severely overachieved.

- ImThatGuy


Well this is completely wrong.

-No system
-No structure
-Terrible decision making
-Couldn't(and still hasnt) fix(ed) the PP come December when every team had figured it out
-etc.

Tried to put a system in place and failed horribly. Tried to fix the PP (late as usual) couldnt.

I’m not saying coaching doesn’t need to change. It probably does.

We have been saying the same damn thing about not finishing checks and being tough to play against since John (frank)ing Scott was signed. 50 billion coaches later.

- ImThatGuy


Look at those coaches.

No one proven (Besides Bylsma and wheres he been since), A Rolston, A Soccer Manager, and now a rookie NHL head coach.

Yes but they missed the stuffing and green bean casserole when they had the chance.
Just think July 10th and I am not F@cking kidding! They did nothing of significance after that. Adams went on Vacation and hasn't Returned.

Honestly, I wonder if Donny's system didn't just get figured out. Once teams saw what a 1-3-1 did against our transition game, we took a nose dive. However, we certainly were a better team last year...can't discount that.

He let them fly last year. There really wasnt a coach... he just didnt get in the way like Stank did.

Thanks for bringing up the 1-3-1 as well. The guy has shown he doesn't have an ounce of ability to be able to adjust to ANYTHING.

I gave him the excuse of being a rookie head coach and he can still learn blah blah blah... But by now if he cant figure it out he wont. Hes an assistant at best.

Ain't no arguing the former anymore. I just wonder if that wasn't the intention at this point.

It's why Donny should've been gone, or at least we should've tried to bring in some new assistants immediately. How this has stayed static is beyond me. The fanbase is folding.
