This team looks like a mess, either the devils are super good or we are just really bad!

Do the two necessarily have to be mutually exclusive?

Being outshot 28-11 after 2 periods. Absolutely pathetic.  Passes aren't crisp and they look lost. These guys need some conviction in their play.

Coaching won’t help, this is  just not a very talented team unfortunately.

They look exactly the same as last season. Something needs to change here, a couple of these players need to be moved out in a deal that brings in a better player imho. We simply cannot do the definition of insanity forever.

Stop it.

It's gonna take about 20-25 games before we know who this team is.   Will take time to work out the bad habits, there's no quick fix, it takes time.

But but but that’s not what people were saying the past couple season. They were just young. Once they get a couple seasons under their belts they will be great.

Seamus Casey... oh yea that's the Leinonen draft. 

This is my biggest concern about firing Adams.
 

GM Jerry Forton.  
 

Benson wasn’t even on His Radar until the analytics department forced Benson to the front of the line. 
 

Jason Nightengale listens to the analytics department because he knows they make him better at his job 

The analytics department will stay for Adams or Karmanos, but not for Forton.

By that time the season might be over.  
 

The PP is just terrible.  They can’t even get into the zone.  

The can’t keep possession of the puck.  Only Levi  is keeping them in the game.  
 

Also why is Benson sitting today?  Was he hurt?  If not, why do you take out the only player who plays the right way?

I don't think talent is the issue. We've seen what some of these guys are capable of. They lack hockey sense/IQ in my opinion. I'm not sure the roster is well constructed. And they've played without any real concept of accountability for years. Can Lindy fix that? I don't know

It is going to take some time.   If its 20-25 games they still need to stay near .500 while they get it figured out.  If not this could snowball.   

The PP is something that we can complain about.   Most of these guys have been together for several years and yet the PP is not even at a "pick up team" level of competency.   Change the players and wake them up.  

Paul Hamilton on WGR Radio is saying that Dahlin is not right and playing hurt.   hmmm .

Here we go again. It’s the second ***** game of the season and they’re playing hurt already? Just seems to be excuses now

Sounds like a lot of insider info here from the Brawn Man.   Thanks!

Anyone involved in NHL hockey would flip out if Adams was replaced by Forton and not Karmanos.

I think most (not all) here acknowledge that. Hell, it's been 13 years...but the micro view taken from these two games is tearing at a lot of scar tissue and triggering some PTSD.
