    Nice win, but it's too little, too late. Yeah, there are token odds we could sneak in, but it'll take a miracle. Where was consistent effort for 90% of the season? As could be predicted the games they no-showed the first four months of the season have come home to roost. Just win, I guess, and let the chips fall where they may.

    I still say this team won't sniff the playoffs with Granato and his gang of goofs. They need a coach with a pedigree to push them, not a "good guy." 

    Anyway, five games left. If there's one true positive out of this season it's that we appear to have a legit goalie. If Levi can get on track, he and UPL should steal some games for them. How odd that goaltending has turned into our strength.

  13. Players that should NOT be on this team next year

    Skinner, Girgensons, Olofsson (HUGE mistake not trading him this past summer when he was coming off of a 28 goal season), Jost, and Comrie should all be on their way out the door.

    I'd say good chance the last four are not here next season, not so sure they buy out Skinner and I don't think it would be easy to find a trade partner for him unless we eat some of his salary...which if it's less than his buyout, maybe they go that route. He can still get you 30 goals/60 points, so maybe somebody looking for a scoring boost takes the bait.

    It's not the individual players imo it's the (bad) system and the coaching along with the full immersion development plan. When you critique Power (still a kid) or Byram for that matter or any of the rest of the D stop and consider Brandon Montour. 

    This team and this franchise f's players up and they almost all get worse when they come here and are better when they leave and get proper coaching. 

    Take a look at the player Sam became when he got shipped out. Linus Ullmark goes to a team with a winning culture and a sound system and wins a Vezina. The list goes on...

    I was one of the ones that wanted him done long-term but it looks really really bad .

    I'm hoping it's the coaching that has ***** him up though 

    It's largely coaching IMO. How have so many players' performances fallen right off a cliff this season? Did everybody just have career seasons last year? All in the same season? Power can play. He showed it for long stretches last season, and briefer glimpses this. I don't think he has anybody pushing him right now. He doesn't have a coach getting on his ass for mistakes. He's still a kid, he needs to be molded. What these guys have is a country club. Nobody is getting on their ***** for nimrod mistakes. Nobody is getting on their ass for just gliding around the ice for long stretches...or entire ***** games. Too many games this season we've seen a team that looked either disinterested or scared. Get a good, experienced hard-nosed coach in here like Gallant or Berube, or (God willing) Brind'Amour, and watch these guys bounce back and play into May next year.
