Nice contribution. Pretty much trolling level value
This might be the GM too. I think the organization wants to play “heavy hockey” but built a team that isn’t good at it.

Every time I see them dump a puck into the corner on Gaudreau’s wing I want to lose my mind.

In the 18-19 season when this team was playing good they rarely dumped the puck in and pretty much every regular forward had a carry-in percentage above 60%.

This year I’d be shocked if any of them were above 60% - the coach even has Gaudreau dumping it in.

GranteedEV said it in his post but really to me the issue I have with this coach had little to do with his record but is more with the style he has the team playing, & his bench management.

Really they play a style that is dependant on winning the special teams battle, and at 5v5 they just want to muck it up and play boring, low risk hockey.
