    Not the point. The fact that @ this stage of his career he would not want to play at home is telling. 

    I’m sure a lot of players at different stages of their career don’t want to come here. There is no inside knowledge to be had. Everyone, fans and players, know this organization is screwed up.

    The thread title is borderline clickbait. It suggests there is some detail about the organization us common folk are unaware of. The OP does not provide that detail. Maybe because it doesn’t exist.

  2. It would be nice if we could just blame management but when you see players being lazy it really stings. When I saw Krebs coast into the D Zone on Colorado’s first goal last night it was embarrassing. 

    I care enough about the team to be willing to part ways with a few players. I want a hockey ops guy to hire an experienced GM.

    That's a huge pet peeve and the biggest reason why they shouldn't have Olofsson on one side with Thompson on the other.  They go from a nearly stationary PP to a completely stationary PP when both guys are waiting to get fed one timers.

    Peterka should be opposite Thompson with Mittelstadt (or even Benson) in the bumper and Tuch down low.  Let Mitts and Tuch move around and even have one drop below the goal line looking to get the D to have to completely turn to react to a pass in front.  (One of the things the Liger consistently calls for.  He wants it to always run from below the goal line which is too much, but considering it never runs through there unless a pass is missed or a rebound deflects back there it is ridiculous how they DON'T work it there.)

    Wonder if part of the problems with the STs is the 2 poorly set up units practice against each other every time they do run throughs.  Stuff that works against these units isn't going to work against a well organized opponent.

    I think playing below the goal line would be great to draw PKers below the top of the faceoff circles. Dahlin or TT sneaking into that open area with Tuch screening would be nice chance. 

    Mitts takes it behind the goal line. PK collapses towards the net. Half wall guy takes the pass and immediately dishes it to the open man (Dahlin/TT) at the top of the circle for a one-timer. Gotta have that man in front of the net stay his ground though.
