That's something I can agree with.

By "Coach's job", I meant by having a capable coach.
Tocchet wanted the big slow blueline that keeps getting emmbarrassed every night. You can argue that they shouldn't have listened to him, but it was his idea according to Tocchet himself. So he can own that part of it too as far as I'm concerned.

And logiocally, the fact that the media is putting it on the players means it's not on the players.

I guess Tocchet and Miller just got in an argument at the bench in front of everyone at the game then he benched JT. A yelling match after the 4th goal

Sheesh everyone needs to load up some Ben Harper and burn one down

Used to have a pair or two that had chemistry - right now there isn’t any of that.
Players look like they are disinterested and waiting for a shoe to drop.
If they aren’t re-signing Boeser, they should move him asap, just to get it over with.
They can drive Heinen to the airport and call up some Abby guys, too - Sasson, Karlsson, Raty.
The defencemen could easily be upgraded from Abby, as well..

I saw that on Reddit. If you read other teams fan comments no one wants Miller. He’s a cancer and the entire league seems to know it.

There have been a half dozen or so defensemen exposed on waivers this year that could have been a sharp upgrade on Juulsen, Desharnais and/ot Forbort.

Honestly you kind of have to wonder when the PP is just this atrocious with these kinds of weapons to work with.

Could…one of us coach it better blindfolded? I’ve seen bad PPs in my time but at least the previous ones could set up in the zone.

I only bring Keenan in if he is given full autonomy as GM.

What an eyesore. Lol at the urine crew only blaming the coach. Maybe the players suck too.

I was told repeatedly by Dufferin Dude that Rob Blake was an idiot. That Brandt Clarke was brutal and Alex Turcotte was a bum. Kings are 25-13-5.

Darcy Kuemper and Logan Thompson would give me a fair bit more confidence in goal for the 4 Nations tourney. Dude will be happy wrapping himself in the US flag
