Yes. Why he kept doing the same thing repeatedly, on the same shift, is mind boggling.

How can you not see the issue in this example isn't Gaudreau not executing, it's that he's being asked to execute something stupid that won't work more often than not.

If you think Ray Edwards was actually telling JG to skate right at an opposing player without getting the puck deep....(something they clamor about repeatedly in interviews when asked how to be successful)...then i have some great property you may be interested in.

How demotivating is it for your coach to keep sending you out to do something that isn't working. Because that is where we are at with this team.

Yeah...there isnt a coach alive that tells any player to do that if its not there. Like...what are you talking about?

What shocks me is that people seem to think coaching doesn't matter in the best hockey league in the world.

Of course it matters...but they can only ask the players to execute what is being asked of them Its then, you know, on the players to do so.

Ward got the HC job by accident, did nothing in his first year and was then re-hired when proven NHL coaches were available.
This is a giant middle finger to the fans.

He hasnt even been a HC for a seasons worth of games. I, you, BT, no one knows what kind of coach Ward may or may not be yet. There simply isnt enough data, but if you want to use what is available
He is 31-21-4 in the regular season.
1-1 in playoff series.
Where is the issue with that?
