Sad part is we wont know the real product of this team because we have an inept clown behind the bench. 1 clown after another comes through and put their own poopty spin on this team thats the problem. Not a single real hockey mind has been here for the last 10-12 years.

It not as bad as we make it out to be, but its still pretty bad haha.

We need a real coach first. A real front office to make changes and our owner needs to stay away from the rink. Bring in someone that knows hockey except don't push them away with your stupidty this time.

a huge jolt is necessary

How do you actually change the mentality of this hockey team?

The team checked out already down 3-0 to the caps when they scored.

How do you get past the loser hump?

The bills did it ..... while the Detroit lions got a franchise QB and didn’t. Still suck

I think it's time for a new voice. A new captain.

Ja17 brought that leadership and Stafford didn't.

Talent and leadership are 2 different beasts

Boudreau, who won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's coach of the year in 2008, has amassed a 567-302-115 (. 635) record in 984 regular-season games coached over his career.

I've always liked him. I think he's never gotten the credit he deserved for the amount of wins his teams have had. It wasn't his fault Mike Green and Alex Semin were getting paid off by PIT to throw playoff series.

have you ever worked for a guy that hasn't a clue as to what he's doing?...after you figure it out, the passion, trust and enthusiasm fade to apathy
- Michael Pachla

Yes but we just worked around it and not get stuck in quicksand

Where were you on the " no re-tred nhl coach"

That was the stance alot of posters took when looking for the last few coaches.

Bylsma fit that bill
Lousley was fresh
Tralph is different


Should have hired lindy ruff when they had the chance.

I'm %💯0 skimmer sure he would have come home.

Tough time to get cheap

Gotta be loving Lindy right? 😟

there's nothing to work around on the ice...you and 17 others do what the coach wants

I don't think it would cost much to get BB. He's unemployed right now and gets to come into an inarguably talented team. I think he would jump at it. And, if he couldn't get our fancy boys to produce then, at least, no one would mind trading any of them.

I was expecting improvement from last season and season before but ruff has the team exceeding that

6-3-2 and haven't looked out of a game or been outplayed drastically, major improvement

That's great 😂

Blackwood is putting up top 5 goalie numbers this year as well.

That’s always helps.

Hall did well with hynes

Look what hynes has done with the preds

Is Bruce really that good?

I like your thoughts, I think we have enough talent to attract a top coach.

Ruff came down to $

Worried at all about the owners reputation?
Going thru coaches quickly?
I'm not sure these guys care, as long as they get paid

Lindy is the one of the top 10 all time nhl coaches.
Not just wins, but competitive playoff teams.

Miss him, every time we have a new guy

he's coached eight 100-point seasons with all three teams he's coached. 3 caps, 3 ducks, 2 wild. eight division winners too.

I miss him too, but his time was passed in Buffalo. When Briere and Drury left Lindy took it out on Roy and Vanek. He went nuts on them all the time. I have to imagine he is way more at peace nowadays.

While I was on the Appalachian Trail this past fall I stopped at a friend's house in Front Royal Virginia for a couple days. We could just go out in his yard and shoot his shot gun anytime he wanted. It was kind of amazing being in a state with human freedom.

That's a solid resume.

Still think the pegula's go the mcbeane route.

Young and hopefully ready to step out from the shadows
