Turnovers, special teams, top guys aren't getting it done

Early in the season can point to new systems, new coach, Gaudreau/Monahan missed training camp. Not legit reasons now, they're excuses now

Support players being their best players not enough to beat teams whose top players are their best.


Sounds about right

They did not press him on the coach!

That is THE topic du jour!

I don't think most think the coaching staff is the question of the day. When you're top players aren't playing well it's not the coach ... and I would think Burke would be pretty qualified to land at that assessment on his own.

Good on the morning crew for not lofting stupid questions.

It's possible they were told pre-interview not to ask because they didn't ask him anything in regards to coaching.

The sad part is these players will "figure" it out when the season is lost then they'll start winning for pride. Most of CP will be backing the "no tanking" "cannot bring in losing culture" BS. When all along it has been a losing culture for many years.

That's all he said? Things must be worse then i thought. Burke normally has something out of left field to say to bring attention to himself. He must be really pissed. Burke has always said that the game on the ice should be entertaining. It certainly is not right now.
