However, it’s not just that play or just Jack. It’s the whole team. Not every play has to be spectacular or lead to a goal. It’s ok to just chip it out to neutral ice. I think a lot of the mistakes and bad habits we’re seeing reflect bad coaching. I expect the defense to be better once a new staff is in place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Fitz doesn’t realize that Smith’s perseverance is nothing more than a consequence of his own ineptitude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's not just the coaches when these players can't find it in themselves to play sixty damn minutes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. Brunette as “associate coach” was clearly running the team. Lindy probably never had so many naps. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's not just the coaches when these players can't find it in themselves to play sixty damn minutes It's both. Bad coaching and players who don't fulfil their roles due to lack of experience, or skill, or hockey IQ, or playing with wrong teammates or in wrong positions. Again, it's fixable, but I anticipate a couple of better but still painful years to come. Edited April 7 by Devs64 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird how easily the team collapses as soon as the opposition applies pressure and physicality. The entire league knows any Devil lead can be erased in 20 min. They got away with 2 points tonight, but it could easily be a loss. It looks to me like a huge mental issue they cannot overcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aznjsn Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Surprising win last night, a few bright spots and then the same giveaways, inability to clear the zone by multiple individuals..Jack included. Some luck bailed us out bad tonight with Brady hitting essentially two posts within a minute span lol. Lots to work on this off season. 😮💨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
