When you relay on the your 2 top players, and by association the top 6 and have just crap in the bottom 6 where 5x5 numbers are terrible like beyond terrible for a team this good (on paper) you have to look at coaching that Knob just don't have a lot of faith in those players to put them out. The short leash on the kids and passive aggression vets on those lines don't make for offensive opportunity.
When you have a defensive system so bad the players play too far up to make them easily exposed, somewhere down the line the defensive coach thought, okay we are an offence first team, the D has to be involved with no stay at home D watching the line. We had a guy who was defensively responsible, Kulak, and for some reason he was the sweetener for Skinner? You have Mr.9.5 who makes just horrible decisions contorting his body in positions to deflect pucks in his own net and decides to defend from his belly 8 times out of 10 you cannot have a cohesive unit.
When you decide to take your goal tending tandem and blow it to crap because it was your only bullet in your chamber because you suck at assessing pro players and decide to trade the WRONG GOALIE for Jarry who was a lateral move at best (turns out he's sub Skinner), and now vested all your hopes on a reclamation project in Ingram who has been stable (not stellar) responding to the leaky leaky D and does more work on them all from the bottom 6 to the entire D corp.. well you got problems.
GM - putrid.
Pres of Hockey Ops - putrid
Stuart- It's not just on the players our D is bad because he is bad.
McFarland- Our powerplay is colour by numbers is it not? PP2 is suspect because the head coach only relies on PP1.
Knob- relies on the top 6 and 2 specific individuals to get the scoring done, doesn't trust the bottom 6 for anything not that they have given him a reason to do anything. Tries to make what he can with the tools he's got.
The moves are on Bowman who has Chia vibes and the team hasn't been this bad since Chia. Jackson wears this as well.
Talk to Coffey, fire Stuart, give Coffey more say in the coaching staff at least in the short term and after the GM and Jackson are bounced hire the right people.
This team may not even make it to the first round, and the Pacific is the weakest division! Oh my god this is bad. (I may be overreacting here).
The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.
Generally Disappointed.
