[Trailer Fire]

I’ve been trying to remain neutral towards GG for the last month, and it’s been kinda hard. He has made choices that I simply cannot fathom. However, I don’t think it is entirely his fault. Yes, he is supposed to be a motivator and planner, but when you see Johnny giving the puck away time and time again, is that really GGs fault? When you see Ferland skating around with not a care in the world, is that really GGs fault?

In my eyes, this team isn’t broken, but it’s faltering from the top down and the bottom up. Everyone is culpable and something needs to be done.

I hate to finally admit it, but Glen has to go. He isn’t getting enough out of the players and his brand of hockey to date has been uninspired. We have seen flashes of brilliance in previous games, and I hoped that was the system GG was trying to implement, but those moments are too far and in between. The special teams, especially the power play, are borderline pathetic. Cameron should be axed immediately. In all honesty he should be the first to go. Bring in someone that can actually run a decent special team system. The could give GG a short grace period to prove he isn’t no good.

As far as the roster is concerned, somethings gotta give. We need someone to play RW with Johnny and Sean. Someone who can elevate 13 and 23 and be more than an occasional bull headed triggerman. The defence has to tighten up in their own end and engage more in the other. Brodie should move to the right side with Gio, then see who can play left side between Hamilton and Hamonic. The 4th line needs some major rejuvenation. I like Lazar for his hustle, but the rest of his game leaves a lot to be desired. Stajan is all heart, but I think his time has come. Send him down to let him keep playing, but it’s time to move on. Brouwer simply needs to go. Anywhere. Bring up Mangiapane and Klimchuk to potentially give us two third lines.

I’m at a loss with this team. They have a lot of potential, but it is being squandered left, right, and centre.
