Cascade Youth

At this point it’s just rubber-necking.

I am more talking about the team administration up to the owner’s box. When results don’t matter at the top of the organization - well, you know what they say about how a fish rots.

Which is a symptom of the bigger problem of: NOT WANTING TO CONSISTENTLY WORK Which probably is a symptom of the bigger problem of not being held accountable.

The issue is not Adams it’s whether anyone is holding Adams accountable.

I thought they played hard whistle to whistle.

This team goes from middling to good when Quinn and Cozens are on. And from good to really good when Quinn and Cozens are on and the goaltending shows up.

This group of players hates having to work hard. Within games, and within seasons, they are always chasing the point at which they can finally coast.

I wouldn’t call it perfectionism I’d call it establishing The Standard and holding themselves accountable to it. Been long overdue.

Consumer fraud. They are not trying to win.

Adams is the Matt Millen of his era.

I could be misremembering but my recall is that Quinn looked exactly like this (tentative and overmatched) his rookie year. He may be the type who needs to think it first and that means there will be stretches of plateaus (or even dips) before he finds the next level.

They look like a playoff team to me - even in the loss. Just missing an elite scorer. Will they be buyers??

Yeah I think it’s just wait @LGR4GM said upthread - he’s just not a good shooter. Has poor hands. Precision isn’t his game, he’s a chaos engine. Maybe ultimately he flips spots with McLeod and becomes a legendary 4th line center. That seems to be where his game is. Speak for yourself!

That game is the formula.

OMG this team is legit bad.
