haha, how’s Hanifin doing with the pressure of wanting to win games? Lindholm? Kadri? Sutter?

This whole “it never would have worked out here” stance is rubbish. Yeah, things probably wouldn’t have worked out here…because this organization doesn’t know how to win, but believes they do. So they’ll continue sacrificing the future (and the present) in the chase to “win tonight”.

Is that why Ruzicka doesn’t get played? Can’t handle the pressure, so we need to play Lucic who can handle the pressure? Same way that Stone could handle the pressure so we couldn’t play Valimaki?

And the next game is in a city we have never won in. Yahoo, can't wait for Thursday. Then Dallas. Then a B2B in California. I won't cheer for losses, but there is an excellent chance we are dead in the water by Tuesday.

When a guy is shooting half of his career average shooting percentage the last thing you do is sell low on him. He had 4 shots and 3 scoring chances tonight.
You need to tell him since he has been lethargic since about the 50 game mark of last year. It’s not just shooting. His decisions on ice has been bad also

I still can't believe Looch is playing every game. Did Sutter not learn anything when he benched him earlier in the season.

Looch still deserves to play but he should only be in every 3rd game.

Yeah so much winning in Arizona

their recent streak has been absolutely the worst thing possible for them after another bad season

Yikes

When you have rifts between management and coaching that's just a recipe for disaster

TF is this team doing. The guys working for the same logo can't even get on the same page

Leaving it for the end of season and suffering the consequences in the meantime is just poor conduct

No self respecting organization just lets that kind of dysfunction linger on

So fold the team basically. It’s worth a shot. Can’t get much worse than it is now.

If that's what's going on...can't see it happening frankly.

Edwards isn't gonna pee away a bunch of cash to Sutter unless he wants to make him POHO, and drop in a new GM and coach of his choosing. Can't imagine that.

Don't think we're getting what we want.
On the other hand, Edwards isn't getting any of MY cash for this crap.

I think they call that a total rebuild.

Which is what we should have done last summer.

how realistic are those first 3 years though? I always thought he was a really fortunate player

He had a bad 20 games or so to start this season - he didnt mesh with Kadri at all IMO.

But he's been good since 88-11-20 was put back together, the puck just hasn't went in.
