Its the 13th season without playoffs and most here thought Skinners monty Python reporter joke thing was gut splitting entertainment. I didn’t. Maybe a couple others. This team has a bad case of the sillys and most are still young enough to split a gut at an unexpected fart. While all that was happening they could have been doing some soul searching and looking for ways to get better. They weren’t. Accountability from the coaching staff was non existant. That much was obvious. I look forward to a change.

Nice seeing the leafs goalie getting aired out by the lightning largely due to defensive errors. 5-1 in the second.

Too soon ? 🤷🏻‍♂️

No hope in hell that Terry Pegula would sign off on Quenville what with the whole family values, my kind of people, coombayeah thing he apparently espouses.

More than a few decent coaches will shake loose throughout the playoffs. KA should be patient.

Pegula is the common denominator in all of this disfunction. Full stop. Nothing changes until he does. Again, I could be wrong. He may finally get it right. But I have my doubts.

🎂 happy Birthday

I’m afraid it could be. They could go first timer again.

I’d imagine the guys are having a group cry right about now. So long Don. Good luck in your future endeavours.

Does anyone think between KA and Terry P that they will make the right hire ? I have my doubts.

I jest I jest. He has to be shown the door or at least some kind of lateral move to say video dude or something.

New head coach Matt Ellis

I hear Zamboni guy plays for beer.

KA openly has stated no blocking the kids. Its an inane comment when clearly you need veteran leadership in this league to compete for the cup. KA has lived this with the Canes but how easily he forgets. And here we are.

I think theres still time to tweek this roster with the proper players and get to the promised land. I have a hard time believing KA, DG or TP for that matter are the guys to do it.

I have no confidence in anything that blocks the kids from happening. Whats that saying about a leader being willing to burn his city/country down so he can rule over the ashes? That essentially what TP has done. If I’m wrong I’m wrong. Its a wait and see at this point.

It seems everyone in this organization is in over their heads. From the top down.

Loving the limited series thing on Netflix. Just don’t have the time nor the desire to invest in season long series. 8 to 10 episodes is so bingeworthy.

Hopefully he’s giving this org. A heart transplant. Throw in a new gm and coaching staff doc.

All the good organizations will have that covered. This one, not so much.

When Terry opens the purse in regards to the self imposed cap on this team I will believe he is serious about making the playoffs and possibly winning a round or two. The serious teams almost always ice a lineup that is hard up against the cap. We see it every year from Vegas with cap manipulation. Why not us. At some point it has to be about now. F*** the future. When Terry hires an experienced GM and coach and gets out of the way then I’ll know he’s serious about making the playoffs and possibly winning a round or two. When this team raises its expectations from just making the playoffs by sqeeking in to making it in early and making some noise then I suppose at that point old Terry has figured it out.

Good win but pffffft. Too little too late. The story of our lives.

I think Thorny basically said the same thing but I agree 100% with it. The management and ownership for that matter set the goal of just squeeking in to the playoffs. They have for 13 years. If your goal is to just squeek in then you will miss more often than not. This is disfunctional in so many ways. The bar has to be set so much higher for everyone in the organization. We set a goal of mediocraty. Its not f***** good enough. Management and ownership need to do better.

Example, the outside noise thing has been dropped by several players for a few weeks now and its clear the lack of self reflection and accountability is being pushed by the coaches and management onto the players. This is a clownshow.
