Can't go wrong with Pickle Rick, don't think Little Rick is head coach material.

Chayka needed a better plan with the goaltending as well. Raanta being backed up by Domingue is not a plan to succeed. Raanta would probably provide at least league average goaltending as long as he doesn't get injured and can play 65 starts. That's a large bet to make when your backup is Domingue and then some untested minor leaguers and prospects.

So are you saying the process = results, because the both seem awful. Or do I still need wait 82 games to crack the code on this mystery?

Really I'm sympathetic to AZ and especially their fans but how long has this train wreck been going on?

The problem is demers sucks, hammer is struggling and most pressing they are dressing ~9 4th line forwards.

Not good.

His FIRST blunder??...lol
Hey, lets trade a #7 pick and a good defensive prospect for a second line center and a back up tender! Then...we'll make the second line center a first line center and the backup goalie a #1 starter.

And you say this team loses because of bad luck? There's no good or back luck here.....just poorly run organization.

You stole the “Coach sucks” from me!!!

When OEL is not playing against the other teams top line you might as well fire the coach right after the game....maybe Chayka told Tocchet that QOC doesn’t matter?

I'm making fun of both the Coyotes and Trump when I say that....So you probably won't find it as funny.

Hmmmm....a few months ago when I said Tocchet was a bad bad choice you called me an idiot and argued that he was the perfect choice.

Apology accepted.

Your argument does not support your cause of getting rid of RT. He just got here and it will take a couple of seasons to impact the team play and winning. This is not a good franchise. It has lots of issues and changes in ownership, management and coaching changes, and player movement.
Now, if you want to get rid of DT, that I whole heartedly support.

Pffftt. Coaching is beneath Tanner....and it actually entails getting on the ice and skating and running drills so that's not happening.

Now Tanner for GM is more like it.

"Alright, today we are going to work on our Fenwick!"

"What do you want us to do?"

"Don't you dare challenge my authority! Now get out there and start Fenwicking! Out-Fenwick the other guy. We are going to Fenwick all day until you sorry SOBs get it right."

"Ummmm...."

"That's it! None of those round black thingies..."

"Pucks?"

"That's right - no pucks! Purse skate!"

"Do you mean bag skate?"

"Do you know who I am?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

For the most part, I'm still in the trust the process camp. But I agree entering the season with Domingue as a back up to an untested starter was a terrible idea.


As for the coach, I don't know. On one hand, he's been horrendous. But on the other hand, despite that, they could still be 4-4.

This is excellent work!

What's up for next practice? Work on their puck luck?
