He needs to fix the freaking breakout. The flames fold like a papier-mâché tent when teams forecheck them. This little triangle tic tac on the side wall close to their own blue line is easier to read than a picture book for three year olds.
I’m not sold on him, didn’t seem to figure out the X as Os. Results were ok and the players seem to like him.
The biggest culprit was that the top players weren’t the top players. This team limped in to the playoffs with the top line missing.
I want to see Monahan with Tkachuk, Gaudreau with Backlund and Lindholm.
Third line you keep as is.
Get Valimaki in the line up and another winger to play with Monahan.
