Better coach and McDavid

McClellan is a damn good coach, Edmonton will be good for a while... and so will Toronto once their young guys get some seasoning. We are only a coach away. The older players contracts will end. We will be ok. DD is the wrong person for this franchise.

We have literally one good pair on defense. The rest is terrible. We can thank our awesome GM for that.

I'm grumpy with Murray too, and the defense is flawed. But literally swapping two players would have made us so much better in this game. 

 

If Kulikov and Bogosian are used to their strengths, and Risto and McCabe play together and just do their thing, we would look so much better than we do.

What more can be said?  Each Sabre has to man up and refuse to lose.  Fight, hack, hit, whatever it takes.  They have the talent to be less than last place. man up and show it. 

There isn't a lot of that sort of thing in the NHL these days.

 

At least not in the regular season.

Didn't Murray decline a trade that was something like Spooner + a 2nd for Stewart?

 

I believe the story goes he was looking to use Stewart as part of a bigger deal but it fell through late, and by that time Boston had already added forward depth.

 

In his (meager) defense, Boston was shopping Spooner to every single team in the league and nobody would trade pucks for him. Still, he got a worse return for Stewart than taking that trade even not knowing Spooner would be good, and that's on him.
