    I know it's controversial, especially here, but I genuinely am intrigued by the concept of Lindy coming back with an assistant he can mentor as the successor on the bench.

    We all would like old Lindy to kick these soft butts. But  he also has proven he can mentor kids (Hughes credits Lindy as his Sensei)

    In a vacuum, I'm not a huge fan of bringing Lindy back. But I'd take him over Granato and crew without putting any thought into it.

    If they go into next season with Ellis coaching the PP they don’t want to win. How else do you explain the lack of a plan to improve the PP ? Get someone in there that was on a friggin power play in their carreer. Matt friggin Ellis…

    Seems like this outfit values a pleasant workplace over on-ice success. Meatballs and his crew will be back next year because everyone really, really likes them.

    Hits 20-8 Leafs… Wearing us down… Confounding our players just take it.

    They threw 37 hits last night, tonight they look afraid to get physical. ***** maddening. What is our "system"? What is our identity? Get a coach in here that can get these guys organized. They're a wildly different team from game to game, and as such, you get wildly inconsistent results.

    The talent is here. It's not a perfect roster by a damn sight, but there are good young players here. We saw it last season. We've seen flashes of it this year. The problem is, the coaching staff doesn't want to hold anybody accountable for poor play and boneheaded mistakes. Get a staff in here that will whip these guys into shape, sprinkle in some veteran leadership that can actually still play hockey, and watch this team break 100 points and play into May.

    Will they actually do that? Seems unlikely.

  13. Why should Granato and the assistants be brought back?

    If they're back next season, it'll be another wasted one.

     

    I've said it before, given the expectations going into this season, a serious hockey organization would have moved on from Granato in December (or early January at the latest) when his club was totally listless and couldn't string together 2 wins in a row. This is not a serious hockey organization. It's an "outfit" that wants to keep nice guys around because they're nice.

    To me the worst part of this ***** show is the divide that is occurring between the team and the fanbase.  I don't ever recollect it seemingly being this toxic.

    About to be the 13th straight year outside of the playoffs in a league where literally 50% of the teams make it every year. It's a stunning failure to have not made it at least once over that period. Add in the fact that they teased us last year, leading most of us to expect that drought to end this year and, yeah, people are angry. They're lucky some fans still care enough to be angry. Many franchises would be drowning in fan apathy at this point.
