Jacque Richard Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) When do the boo birds start coming out instead of sitting on their hands or looking at their phones during the games Edited December 10, 2016 by Jacque Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Exactly. This is what you wanted. Remember that. I don't recall arguing for Murray to hire Bylsma. I don't recall arguing for the Tank (until the very end when, why the hell not?), and I think the aftereffect of the Tank is the real problem here. Losing's a way of life now. Or is this about Lindy... again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean have 100 points every regular season, win division titles, win playoff series and win a Cup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 You mean have 100 points every regular season, win division titles, win playoff series and win a Cup? No. I mean Bylsma. Specifically. This is what you wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Guys, I didn't watch the game.... But to expect to beat a possible cup contender with the hogwash we have assembled?!?!

Even when healthy Maybe the defense wouldn't suck so much if the other team--whichever other team--didn't have the puck all the time because of dump and chase.

Haven't you been reading?!I read it every day :) I still think a different coach could make the team "fun" but I don't think we are doing any type of contending this year, especially trying to do it against the top tie teams Maybe the defense wouldn't suck so much if the other team--whichever other team--didn't have the puck all the time because of dump and chase.Our lack of possession is quite awful, so did GMTM not assemble the roster right , does DDB suck, do our players suck. Or just a cluster of all 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 If GMTM thinks lehner is that guy who a bona-fide #1, then I see no reason to not have the D pinch more and have much more flow and offense to the game.... Is this D capable of that though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 No. I mean Bylsma. Specifically. This is what you wanted. It's Eleven Water Torture. But I'm holding up. I mean, I just had to take my sweatshirt off because it was starting to get hot in here, but I'm OK, really. I don't know what you want me to admit!!!!!!! Did I kill the old lady? GODDAMMNED RIGHT I DID HANDING ME THOSE HARD CANDIES ALL THE TIME I HATE WERTHERS I HATE THEM!!!!!!! She's back behind the pumphouse on the old lease road. I put a large rock on her shallow grave so the coyotes wouldn't eat her up. I hate Werthers, but not that much. Thank you, Eleven, for freeing me. Thank you. Now can you defend me? It will have to be pro bono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Wrong! It's the coach! Haven't you been reading?!Alright. We'll accept a historically bad offense, worse than when we lost on purpose except for the power play. Everything is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is fine. I just don't know what else a coach is supposed to do when the team hits the post 5(?) times and misses gaping wide open nets as often as we do. I mean, maybe he forgot to tell them, "the puck goes in there," and point to the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 So every other historically bad team had much better luck, then? Maybe. I don't know if there is a way of knowing that. I do know that it's a moot point, though. The fact is, this is still a bad team that needs to learn how to not be a bad team. I've also stated that I am almost 100% sure that when we are a SC contending team DD won't be the head coach and letting him go and getting someone new will be just the push we need to take that next step. I just think it is way too early in the process for that to happen and it is certainly too early to whine about it every time we lose.
