I agree this team has no identity. It seems as though Glen is trying to coach the team to play like Anaheim when they simply are not constructed to play like Anaheim. We should be trying to play more like chicago quick skating team with mobile defenseman who scores off the rush. Im sorry Sean Monahan, Johnny Gaudreau, Sam Bennett etc arent gonna win many battles in thr corner which is vital to a cycle style of game which is what Glen keeps trying to hammer into players who physically just will never be able to play that style.
We need to be playing with far more pace and that shouls be obvious. How did we go from being talked about as one of the fastest skating teams from a couple of years ago to now this slow, uninspired dump and chase brand of hockey.
No creativity, no heart no sustained pressure.
Too many holes. No adjustments made in game. Glen I dont think has ever shown any emotion on the bench taken a time out..even when we pull the goalie why not take a time out and draw up a decent play?
Ive seen enough there is one guy out there who has won cups got us to a cup final within two years and won us a division.
If the time truly is now ans we are truly in win now mode then we need an elite experienced coach.
To be quite frank how could it harm the team?? Even wuth the so called additiona made on the blueline we are not playing that we'll defensively....something Sutter is a master of.
