I blame Ward for telling them to [checks notes] always give the puck away at the blue line.

This is on everyone of those guys out there. Except eat bread and markstrom.
The coach took one of the guys you said looked good (Mangiapane) and replaced him with Lucic on Backlund’s line right before the goal against.

It’s on him too.

Couldn't escape that period tied.

Not too confident that they will get two more

Man I’m having a hard time watching this season. I just don’t enjoy watching this team play. I don’t even have that excited feeling on game day. I’m completely apathetic.

I hate this coaching staff more than Gilbert and Gully and yup Gelinas that includes you.

Bennett is probably watching this with a sense of relief from being on the way out

The team, like last year, just sucks at entering the zone. Its a core thing. A coach won't change that.

Who deserves more? Tkachuk’s been terrible, but so has everyone else.

I'm so sick of watching us work hard to get possession and get up the ice, only to stop 4' inside the offensive blue line and wait for the Jets entire team to get back into the play, then turn it over for the 15th odd man rush of the period.

Time to blow it up before playing the 10th game of the season?

Agreed. Which is usually either a sign of systems (bad coaching), or a lack of compete (the players not believing n each other)

In this case, it might be both

Pretty sure this would have involved more than just ward and Treliving had a big say in that decision.

So we've circled back to firing the GM?

Oh I see it’s the coaches fault again. I can’t believe Geoff Ward told Backlund to turn the puck over. What was he thinking??

It’s not the coach. And don’t give me that lazy “we never had an elite coach” garbage. It’s a lazy argument based entirely in hypotheticals that’s impossible to prove or disprove.

What we CAN prove is that this core has had three coaches in 4 years and they get similar results.

It’s the players. They aren’t good enough. That’s it.
