Look at the opening face off last night. Back to Giordano who takes it up the wall, loses it, gets it back, flubs it, then turns it over. First 10 seconds of the game. I was like ... here we go again.
I'm under no illusions here, this team is in big trouble in the standings. The hole is getting too deep.
But from watching hockey for 35 years, teams that make coaching changes all the time never move up the standings. I just don't see the brain center of this team stupid enough to hire a guy that can't coach.

Yeah I probably should have been clearer. I didn't so much mean that it was a lack of effort as much as it is a lack of willingness to get into the dirty areas, to play with zeal or emotion, to get engaged physically or if one is incapable, at least posturing in front of the net. No willingness to drive to the net or dirty areas. That on the forecheck there is a lack of urgency or conviction.
Those things. And if the system doesn't warrant any of this things, then I guess I just fundamentally disagree with the approach. They do seem to be skating hard uselessly though I would agree with that.
