It's the players that are making terrible ####ing passes and are handling the puck like a grenade. Pretty hard for the coaching staff. They put out their "best" players, but they are #### right now.

It looks like a team with zero confidence. Passes aren’t on tape if they happen to be completed. Not a trade or move can be made to get out of this long slump. We need a game against a team with an off night to pot some goals and regain their mojo. Our schedule hasn’t allowed that yet.

I like Johansen. Seems like a solid leader.

Monahan can't be the #1 centre

Gaudreau can't be the best player on the team

We don't need someone better than Monahan to play with Johnny, we need someone better than Johnny to play with Johnny.

Maybe Tkachuk's contract pissed off some players?

And that's on the coach. They had Lindholm centering his own line for what, 2 games?

Sounded like Johnny dropped a loud f-bomb after Lindholm turned the puck over at around 1:40 of the last powerplay, and then the argument over the mic happens. Wonder if Francis brings it up

Unless it was Lindholm that swore after giving it away.

Haven't watched the game, but I will tune in to watch the third to see the team turn it all around. It's bound to happen at some point, so why not now?

Both shorties were scored on super simple plays that were just botched. That’s not on coaching, unless you include making the guys focus harder.

Can Peters make them take part in bag skates? Maybe that'll work.

Johnny shouldn't be getting mad at other players for turning the puck over, he makes more turnovers than a pastry factory.

I’d rather see them holding each other accountable than saying nothing and mailing it in.

I forget what it’s like to come home from work and turn on a hockey game and not be pissed off.

Yes, but they have so little practice time these days that it detracts from getting any real coaching done.

I'm confident Bill Peters is currently delivering the motivational speech of a lifetime.

I guessed that it was Johnny he because always drops loud f-bombs, but it's usually at his own turnovers. Like AC said, it could've been Lindholm.
