For gawd sakes hire a gawd damn Coach that is proven.
Trade Johnny now.
Get rid of lucic.
And get rid of Treliving.
year after year after year this team sucks. and year after year we are told change is coming.
the only change I've seen is we are getting worse. leave last year out of this that seems like some sort of fluke.
Treliving hasn't done a great job with this team.
Need players with talent and hart.

I agree with a lot of this except the Treliving part. Every year we see the coach killers not perform, Johnny at the top of that list. Johnny really seems to want out so let him go. Get some defencemen that are big and hard to play against. We all want to crap on Hamonic but when you are the only guy (maybe Andersson also) who physically tries to change things then we are screwed. Gio is done, too slow, thinks the game too slow (passing to guys who aren't moving, takes too long looking around instead of moving the puck).
But like all fan bases we want to blame the Backlund, Jankowsi, Bennett type players when they actually play a small part. If your stars play like idiots switch them up. I would rather have 2 or 3 Coutourier type players (not him specifically but good two way guys) than a guy like Johnny. So disappointing watching the complete lack of effort every game.
