Fitz needs to sever his loyalty to the lovable grandfather or else it should cost him his fvcking job enough with the “oh they have built in excuses.” This organization bragged about so much depth and yet the coach never adjusts to what he has. fvck him, get him out of town already and get someone in here that will actually motivate this team. You don't have to like it...but it's true. The sh!tty goal tending and injuries are keeping people employed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a lack of motivation on the players’ part but this team needs some semblance of a system in place. There is none. And this fvcking guy literally has no answers and is incapable of making adjustments as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Well, it’s pretty simple: Better find a way to get five points over the next three games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old man River should never have gone to the VV well as much as he did. Once Daws was healthy, that should have been the end of it. He has so much blind loyalty to certain players and absolute unwarranted animosity to others it’s sickening. 1 minute ago, Colorado Rockies 1976 said: It’s not a lack of motivation on the players’ part but this team needs some semblance of a system in place.

If they think they can come back on anyone, it’s the coach blowing smoke and sunshine up their asses to think that way that allows it to consistently happen.

Nicomo Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 4 minutes ago, Oglethorpe13 said: For sure. He had an off night, he's only 19. Not worried about him at all. Can't even fault him for the 2nd goal against, looked like the devils got caught on a line change and he was the only one back He was bad tonight, let’s be honest. People have been killing Luke for every little mistake lately, and Nemec was bound to have some games like this eventually as well. Like you said, the kid is 19. And has mostly been fantastic. Tonight not so much. Also need more out of the vets like Nico and Toffoli. Can’t expect the kids to do it all every single night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the first point as the coach simply not having a game plan coming out of the gate, and having issues adjusting to the other team’s game plan. I seriously doubt even a guy like Lindy is saying “It’s OK guys, you don’t have to get it going until the third period.” Not every last thing falls on the coach of course, but I’ve seen more than enough this year to feel that Lindy has been one the worst head coaches in the league this year, even with the injuries. He is just not helping at all; I have no idea what he’s trying to have his team do out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said some of these vets that got their bag already need to flippin step up. They shouldn’t need motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaching is garbage, no goalie, and never ending injuries. Murphy’s law at work this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still plenty of season left, I'm hoping with Daws in net and hopefully getting bodies back from IR, the team straightens out. This is getting brutal. Especially with Lindys bone head decisions. At this pace we're looking like Colorado's fall off season before becoming a powerhouse. Really don't want to have to look forward to draft watching after last year's season... Side note, I thought Foote had a pretty decent game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not implying Lindy says they can coast, but he’s built an atmosphere where it’s okay to not give your best effort every period. He’s created a country club, the players absolutely love him cause he rarely pushes them and aside from him absolutely dragging Holtz through the mud in a consistent basis, there is zero accountability. The culture of “it’s us vs the world and even if we suck as a whole, we’re going to make you battle EVERY night” is gone. Our opponents dictate the game, as is proven by us giving up the first goal 35 or however many times already. Fitz won’t do sh!t, and frankly, for letting it go this far, his ass better be at least feeling the lowest setting on the seat warmer.

NJDevils1214 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 "puck management" - mark your Lindy bingo card.

When someone has dementia and starts really going down hill, they hold on tight to certain phrases… … or he really has no answers cause the old fart who has the 3rd most wins simply because he’s been in the league forever like a wet fart in a tiny room on a humid day just has longevity for someone who has literally won NOTHING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they need a real taskmaster kind of coach, a guy who may not necessarily always be “fun” to play for, but everyone will know what they’re supposed to do and where they’re supposed to be, and will be better and more complete hockey players as a result. It’s on Fitz to realize that the guy he hired to be the coach is no longer the right guy to get the most out of what he has to work with. Despite some of the current gloom and doom here, I firmly believe that this team can still make the playoffs, but even if they make it, Fitz can’t be happy with “Hey we still got there in spite of injuries, blah blah blah”, if they bow out quickly. Lindy should really not get another season beyond this one…he’s only going to keep getting in the way and holding them back.

I’m terrified Fitz will hang his legacy on the success or failure of ruff and will explain away Ruff’s shortcomings. I’d kill for them to get Berube in here right now.
