Not with a defense this bad. He should be controlling the puck more, His rebound lead to more chances for the other team.

He doesn't even listen to himself, why would the players listen?

Never liked him. Kicks out big rebounds way too often. Once he hits the ice it takes forever for him to get back on his feet. Which brings up the question why does a tall Goaltender have to go to the ice so much? Can't stop the over his shoulder shot. Terrible in the shoot out, as all Sabre goaltenders are this year. Any one else miss Irbe as the goaltending coach?

Maybe he needs to be coached. Anyone know where to find one?

Might not be accurate but it goes to the character of the individual. If he has problems with team mates what else can you think? He has issues worth watching or at least be aware of right? No one can predict how it would turn out but......I've never been inside a refrigerator but I'm pretty sure the light goes out when you close the door, If you follow me.

I'm losing confidence in this guys each game. The constant line juggling. The backing into a defensive shell when playing with the lead. And one thing that always bothers me, watch how many times a Sabre will gain possession of the puck on a line rush and his line mates head to the bench on a line change, blowing the chance of some decent shots. I don't expect you to believe it because I say it, just watch for yourself. I can't figure this guy out.

Well I don't know what that says about Murray since he jumped on the trade. He had to know what he was getting. Unless his action causes him to miss games, I don't see an issue.

I have a problem with the "his value" and " free up cap space" logic. The guys motor is always going. His passion shows when he's on the ice. Who you getting back that will replace that? Who should they be looking to get in return? Draft picks that won't make the team for couple years? They're not getting a big time defense man for him. I hate a dump our stars for future asset mentality.Kane is not a problem and he's not going to bring a great player in return. Build on what you have, don't repeatedly tear down just to get draft picks and leave the team void of talent.

When are they going to learn how to play with a lead? Dropping back and letting the other team come to you is not getting it done. Keep your foot on the gas and make them worry about stopping you. Stop changing what you are doing just because you have a lead.
