Just watched the replay of the last Chicago goal....

Biggest problem was Samuelsson with the puck behind the net, he has time but just throws it around the boards into a 'gaggle' of players, including 2 blackhawsks. He was chased from behind and hit, and the guy that hit him took Samuelsson out of the play and then beat him up back to the boards.

So, the problem there was he made a lazy pass, and then got hit, and the smaller guy hit him, knocked him down, and then beat him to the skates to continue the play.

None of that would have mattered if Clifton controlled the puck, it looked like it came right to his stick but jumped over his stick...kinda bad luck.

Finally, Krebs kinda had the goal scorer tied up, but let him go for 1/2 second when Samuelsson got back into the play.  Krebs released him 1/2 second before Samuelsson could pick him up, and he had just enough time to get the rebound.

To me that goal is 60% on Sameulsson, 20% on bad luck, 20% on UPL (for the rebound) and Krebs/Samuelsson again (for not deciding who should tie up the scorer)

Its really a hard goal to diagnose, even from 2 different angles and going frame by frame.

It’s mostly Samuelson who has looked like ***** so he gets no benefit of the doubt. He needs benched

Close play but we were outworked.  Muel is disappointing at times, Krebs a marginal player.

And your current mood? Fire him or hold steady? 

Mixed emotions. If this organization was owned by someone different absolutely. 
I hate the decision making by committee with the analytics team making some and other being made by Forton and pro scouting 
My fear is who is going to replace him. 
 Karmanos and Ventura having the final decisions over the current structure is worth a try, with the caveat from all accounts no front office candidate worth his salt will work for Pegula. 
Forton being promoted would be a downturn as they would lose a lot of front office staff who I think are worth keeping around.

I don't now if he was tired or it was a long shift...it just looked somewhat like Samuelsson was tired. Even flipping the puck along the boards wasn't a great play but it wasn't terrible...just...he got caught from behind, didn't put anything on the flip around the boards, got knocked off his feet by a smaller guy...didn't skate hard to the front of the net.

Its like he didn't make a mistake, and wasn't even super lazy...it just looked like everything he did was done with 80% effort when it called for 85-90% effort.
