NJDfan1711 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Just opened my feed of the game and surprised to see it's not 2-0 Ottawa 5 minutes into the game. #Progress! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the people who don't want to blame Ruff don't really have a leg to stand on, because the teams that Hynes, DeBoer, and Ruff had are all different, so it's not like the roster/players haven't been shuffled. Beyond that, the coach is WAY easier to hire/fire since he's one person (ok, plus his staff), as opposed to the entire team of 18 players plus goalies.

NJDfan1711 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Sick tip, nice job Nico. Also, there's some justification for the crowd who always seems to ask "do faceoff wins really matter?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) I gotta be honest. The very last thing i ever expected happening in one of our game was an opposing player scoring a goal while being left all by himself right in front of our net. I'm speechless.

They've been moving around deck chairs on the titanic. Coaches leave here and do just fine with rosters not littered with junk, That's the point. Ruff has figured out how to win 755 wins in the NHL when coaching rosters not littered with junk. He's not a rookie who's never done it before. Like I said let him go that's all good, but thinking that's now 3 coaches in a row who've been the reason for the overall futility... it way way bigger than whoever is standing behind the bench.

Have to move players out. Starting with zacha and severson. After subban and vesey obviously. Hopefully they all go at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagknife Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) If Dineen is truly the heir to the coaching position, he needs to be given all the time in the world to implement his new system and should be given that chance to do so starting tomorrow.

This couldn't be less true. As already pointed out, Hynes isn't exactly kicking ass in Nashville, and Ruff, while long-tenured and a lot of wins, has almost nothing to show for that long career. One could easily argue that he was given a very, VERY long rope in Buffalo and that he overstayed his welcome. I'm not saying the problem doesn't exist on the ice, but to suggest that our current roster lacks any talent or that there's not much to work with is just silly. You have the youngest roster in the entire league that is hungry and motivated. They clearly lack direction and instruction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant since he's been there, in totality. Yeah, they're 2nd right now - season isn't over yet. Assuming they make the playoffs, let's see what happens then. His Win % was .589 and .571 in his first two seasons; both times bounced in the first round of the playoffs.

Trust the process, the roster doesn't have remotely enough talent. Maybe with another 3-4 top 5 picks. Same Hynes who would never get another NHL job again? Ruff something like 755W 584L 78T in spite of his time here. Like I said move Ruff, don't care, it won't fix the dead fish it's been rotting from the head for years.

Fansinz88 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 We lack talent. End of story. Coaching is trash too. Don’t know how to fix it quick. Probably not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
