Eleven 3,856 Posted Friday at 02:26 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 02:26 AM (edited) I'm done. Today was game 82. That's the equivalent of a full season. His "system," if it even is one, is a failure. Even his power play, which is progressive by NHL standards, is horrible. I don't think Adams will fire him during COVID but I do think Adams should do so. A friend said yesterday, "I really like the guy, but..." and my response was "yeah, he'd probably make a good Secretary of State, but not a hockey coach." Done with him. Whatever remains of Team Storm Cloud, remember that I was right then and know that I'm right now. Edited Friday at 02:27 AM by Eleven 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nfreeman 2,600 Posted Friday at 03:03 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 03:03 AM I know I said it would be nuts to fire him anytime soon, but if they lose, say, 3 more like this, and they keep looking like they’ll never score another goal, it’s going to start to feel inevitable. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MODO Hockey 966 Posted Friday at 10:16 AM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 10:16 AM Imagine if we only hired Rickard Gronborg instead of Ralph back when they both were beeing evaluated. FK!

I see this team, the players we have, the FORCE we have and then we have a ***** ***** MORON wasting it all on a system a 5 year old can read without even looking. ohhhhh im so pissed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How long does it go on with GMKA taking any action. Was it not meant to be playoffs no matter what this season. At the moment I don't see where our next win is coming from. I am also mind numbingly frustrated beyond belief at this teams inability to score. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At least our first 10 games I felt we were just unlucky in scoring goals - but now its also poor play. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they hadn’t done that, I feel we would have been a better team than we became and it would not be the revolving door situation it has become. And firing Lindy was merely a symptom of the disease that brought this team down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They were both in the race but obviously Pegulas thought that a guy that never have won jack sh1t would be the perfect fit. Rickard is a beast, he went to NLA and the success for him just continues. Pegulas sucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mustache of God 562 Posted Friday at 04:22 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 04:22 PM I was convinced Bylsma was the problem and Housley would lead us to the promise land. It quickly became apparent that Housley was a glorified turd-polisher and needed to go. RK seemed like an amazing out of the box hire, who would surely have the team playing entertaining hockey. I'm now teetering on the "replace Ralph" ledge, but I don't think bringing in yet another coach will fix anything. I'm inclined to believe the problem comes from the top. I don't understand how someone can concurrently run an NFL & NHL franchise. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This or just hand over the reigns to a competent hockey mind and own from a distance but I think those pesky egos might come into play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
