Yes, it’s a better team with awful special teams. Something an assistant coach change could fix. Hard to do that mid season though.

Good on him. Y’all are rabid

Swap Kahun and Reinhart

Hahaha Risto

Team is scared of the front of the net.

Whole team won’t finish glorious chances tonight

Burn bad statisticians burn. Botterill light that fire. xG is not predictive of anything.

Montour is not good on his off side

Yes

That’s what I believe. But I also think Chad has sources and he tweeted on the subject.

If they fire him I just hope it’s earlier not later. Botterill has no chance to do anything before his first draft.

Well Chads got connections. Whoever steps in will have a much better situation than Botterill did when he started. Team is only a couple players, assistant coaches, and a healthy season away

How is the PP for the amerks

Kids great. Best, most entertaining vision I’ve ever seen in a player. Our forwards are still in shock when they get passes from him and fail to finish by no fault of Dahlin. Kid gets some muscle and the defensive grind will improve. Right partner as well (Not Colin Miller, but a defensive type)

He doesn’t live rent free. He gets slammed down our throats anytime he gets criticized.

Uh oh I’m back to passing out mid game. Can’t lie to myself anymore. If the person responsible for special teams is not replaced or canned, I will riot. I don’t think they played particularly bad, but their lack of finishers on offense was apparent. Also, screw Reinhart kid is so overhyped.

Does Rob Ray have a ginger beard?

This stuff happens in soccer where regular players play goalie. And they suck. In football if a WR is playing QB, even if he played it in high school, it’s a total mockery.

Any publicity is good publicity. Yeah, these goalies have won the two games they’ve played, but only teams with hot goalies have ever won a cup: see every damn season.

Or the newfound defensive depth. In fact they’ve turned that against him. Rarely you hear about the goalie prospects in the system, but usually only when they had a bad game.

Oh, you’re already claiming Pekar and Davidsson as busts? Guess Thompson was a first rounder so we can ignore him too Such a shame spending 2nd and 3rd round picks on defenseman and a goalie. Botterill building from the back end forward first, with the types of prospects who take longer to develop, before picking all the forwards. Such awful GMing

Because their depth wasn’t gutted like Murray did. Everyone knew it at the time. Go back and look at eve trade thread. “We overpaid, but if the player pans out it’s ok”. Well guess what? Kane, Bogosian, Lehner, Fasching, all the draft picks beyond 2OA and a 7th... Nothing panned out.

Weaker team they’ll win

The polls are clear that half the readers understand the path and are patient. Just because the Botteril whiners are the loudest doesn’t mean they’re aligned with reality.

It doesn’t have to be a current top-5 in the entire league to be ‘solid’. Though without currently being there, it needs the potential to grow into that and our players are absolutely trending that way. Dahlin is special. Jokiharju is going to be a treat for years to come too.
