If they were smart they'd do it in the offseason after we miss the playoffs so the new guy has a whole camp to get setup. I think there's a reasonable chance that this happens, even though I could also buy the management sees this season as progress argument, despite not really agreeing with that synthesis.

Which site makes these? Cool charts

They’re a soft perimeter team that piece hasn’t changed. But tonight they’re at least playing

At least tonight we are losing because the islanders are a good hockey team with a good coach, and not because we didn’t show up to play at all.

I don’t even care if we come back to win. How do you come out for this game as flat as they’ve been?

the easiest trade we could make is the first one we should make, which is fire the coach. We've all seen enough DQ here, and the most important piece is that he's consistently failed to prepare his players for tough games.

im starting and finishing with the coach here, at least this season. Maybe one other player, but this starts with DQ unfortunately, who has done a below average job to this point, and very clearly is not equipped to get this team ready to win big games. Rod Brind'Amour coaches the Canes and has been a head coach in this league for just as long as DQ: https://www.hockey-reference.com/coaches/brindro01c.html The product was pretty clear on the ice last year that there is a difference between a coach who knows what to do and a coach who doesn't, and this guy doesn't. It starts there, and I'm willing to give this roster another look with a real coach behind the bench, but after that change if there's another shitshow like this, then it's time to start thinking wholesale changes. An important thing to remember is that the young guys here are still very young, and they need these types of experiences to understand what it takes to win these games, but they also need a mentor/teacher for that and DQ is not the guy. Sorry but he has to go.

There’s nothing wrong sam his vagina is just crusty

Cant look at these games and tell me switching the coach is not the answer. Sure More effort from players is fine but this is just a battle tested game plan versus no game plan

I’d fucking put barzal into diapers after that and these guys give him a hug

This is men vs boys from behind the bench to between the pipes. We’re boys out there, and we’re not particularly tough ones

Clearly just not a playoff team since we’ve failed to get ready for both of these games, didn’t expect to be anyway but any of this shit next year and I’m firing the coach. No way you go through this pussy nonsense in must win games and don’t figure your shit out

just want to see 120 straight minutes of playoff hockey. if you can't do that, don't bother thinking about the playoffs

These games against Boston and islanders coming up are as good as playoff games for the kids and that’s all we could have hoped for in the beginning of the year. Also LAF with 10g is a whole lot better than I thought he’d end with after watching his start so good on him and hope he keeps getting better

That blue line move by fox is outrageous

Please don't win please don't win, we need to keep you around for less than the bazillion dollars you're worth foxy

Well all we can do is keep winning and see what happens

Let’s again not pretend like that’s a routine goal either for anyone but this team Jesus

Let’s not pretend like these goals e Rangers score every night are routine because they’re only routine for this team

Holy shit was that a goal

Was a nice backhand

Laf with the first overall pass on that play

AHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHHAHA

I don't buy into the fact that homogeneity is the problem here. You think this team isn't a contender in two years if Trotz is the coach? DQ hasn't won a playoff game in the NHL - let's start there. Tampa won last year with a similar team, they didn't win bc Patrick Maroon showed up, I promise. They won because they lost enough times to put it all together.

Let’s face it, that goal squeaked in by a nose
