If Hextall thinks things are going bad with Hak, then he'll get rid of him in a reasonable way. I don't think there's a chance he's going to trade a core player at this point for a glimmer of home in a pile of poop. That's how we got JVR for Luke Schenn.

I agree, I was just stating the options. I'd much rather changes coaches than trade a core player.

I am against him being scratched because I don't believe his play has been as bad as people think. He's certainly been better than most of the defenseman on this team.

This game really points out why your goalies giving up 1 or 2 bad goals a game is terrible.

At least 2 goals in this game should have been stopped which would make it 3 - 3..

Not many good experienced coaches out there who is not retired

neuvirth hasn't let in any bad goals

So on that sequence right there G and Simmonds bump into each other then G looks lost in his own zone causing Gudas to take the penalty. Cant make this stuff up

Of course, bench one of the few guys who always hustles.

Now build on this KILL

When a pro team keeps making the same mistakes, it tells me one of 2 things are happening:

1. The coach is inept
Or
2. The players have tuned out the coach

I don't think Hak is inept, though I question many of his lineup choices, so that means he's not reaching these guys. If that is the case, you need the either Fire the coach or trade a core player or 2.

Something has to give. I can handle losing because they are rebuilding and just aren't good enough yet, but I'm sick and tired of watching veteran players coast, make bonehead plays and take asinine penalties.

Or 3...they are just not a talented team.

You can change line after line after line. If you don't have the talent, it may make a difference for short periods of time, but in end, the result is usually the same.
