mfitz804 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The answer is simple. We gave too many sh!tty players so we have a sh!tty team. Yelling "FIRE HYNES" all day long isn't going to change things. As they say, you can't make chicken salad out of chicken sh!t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches are important - you see Boudreau getting absolutely the same Minnesota team as last year fighting for 1st in the Western Conference as opposed to Mike Yeo having them being completely mediocre during his tenure.

I agree it CAN make a difference. But does our roster compare to Minnesota's? Not in my opinion. They made the playoffs last year. With barely fewer points than we had, but they made it. Plus our roster this year is worse than last year, surprising but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson is a big strong guy and didn't have to hit him too hard in that position to ring his head off the glass, it was a heavy impact.

On paper our roster should have been better than last year - we are (were) all in agreement that Shero made moves that improve the team yet here we are last in the East Edited January 1, 2017 by PacificDevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the highlights of recent games the positioning of the D has been shocking and they seem to be too slow getting to the puck too often. If Hynes had any hair he'd be pulling it out right now. How the hell has it deteriorated so badly from last season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I really didn't think this game was that bad - well, the power play was bad, but that's theoretically fixable. There were some mistakes by the coaches and certainly by the players, but there were also just a lot of bad bounces that aided the Caps. They just can't carry around this many bad players, though.

In your opinion, who is "bad"? I count Moore, Lovejoy, DSP and Kalinin. I dont think the roster is actually that bad. There is no way they should have he 3rd worst goal differential in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Greene is in clear decline at best. Zacha needs more time in the AHL. So do Lappin and Wood. Bennett is bad. Couple all of that dead weight with Palmieri, Cammalleri, and Henrique not really performing, plus Cory giving up 4 goals a game, there's no way to be successful.

Because a fourth overall pick who can actually play defense is really comparable to an overseas FA signing that's a borderline roster player who isn't a very good defender.

Totally agree here and Damon. Has been a part of the problem on defense. Good players make others around them better, we don't have many of those players imo t at best a very small handful. Way to many marginal or bad players and the ones we thought and should be pretty good have been a disappointment almost across the board. A terrible combination. Said this before Hall has lost his entire career this is nothing new for him either. Really like him but he's a not a guy that has made much of a difference to turn to around many games. No he can't do it by himself but truly great players can throughout the year. Didn't expect much this season but they've turned it into a sh!t show. Not a single player outside of Hall I would say is untouchable at this point. The problem is you're not getting much for 90% of the others. By much I meant truly impact players.
