They beat Calgary, Nashville and the Caps. All teams who are pretty good. Beat up on a real bad Habs team. Beat Van who they absolutely dominated, got 60 shots and their goalie was unreal but those same Canucks who's been improve took Florida to a shoot out, had beat the Caps and Nash and then beat the Jets after the Oilers game and took Calgary to OT. So I wouldn't say their competition was overly weak.

Just making the observation that while Tippett I don't think is the answer and has his flaws, the woes the team had that caused some in the fan base to want to tar and feather basically everyone, in my opinion, a lot falls on the guys on the ice not doing their jobs.



I know you desperately want to give Ken Holland a free pass - but if the players aren't doing their job - who was the one who chose all those players? If goaltending inconsistency is the biggest issue, who chose the goalies?

I don't want to "tar and feather everyone". I just want to see competency from the team's management and coaching. I think if we started with that, you'd see a lot less times when for a full six weeks "the player's just weren't doing their jobs".

You got me Adam, you are so right. I am just here to give Holland a free pass and say how perfect he is. Doesn't matter I have said in I don't know how many threads countless times how the roster isn't good enough, it has holes, it's flawed, mention the goaltending needs to be better, need different guys. Hell, I even said the roster is flawed in the post you referenced right here. But you got me, just here to say Holland is perfect. You keep making crap up for me. icon_thumbsup
