This team does have a serious problem when teams are tightly checking them.

Effort without purpose is wasted.
- MBFlyerfan


So Lava is telling them to put effort into races and battles, but when they get the puck, just throw it away blindly.

Or better yet, put enough effort in to look like you are trying, but more often than naught, make sure you lose that battle.

They are making basic mistakes out there... Losing battles and races.

I thought so. Wasn't it G, Kimmo and Hartsy?

Rinaldo 1 goal, 1 assist, has the least amount of ice time on the team? Is Lavi stupid or something?
- Winning


Lavi just won't let Rinaldo be in a sentence with "Gordie Howe."

less than 5 minutes away from having 0 out of 4 points, when they held a lead in both the last 2 games, a 3 goal lead in this one, and were tied after 2 in both of them. definition of suckitude.

All they have to do is pause it and go to restart, then click "yes" when it asks "are you sure you'd like to restart the game? All progress towards trophies will be lost"

He play Briere 15 minutes a night, watch him float around and not play defense. Rinaldo makes things happen, has 2 points. Only plays 7 minutes, sounds like a coach who knows his players.

If we all can see it then why can't the coach or management?
- stveshdy


Got me. Why couldn't the coach recognize he didn't have the defensemen to run his highwire attack system. He had a full summer and 6 months of lockout. He had that long to figure out how to beat the Rangers and Devils, but couldn't manage that, either.

But no, it's the heartless players, for sure.

People like to ignore that after the Cup run, when the Hurricanes start losing a lot of the veterans who helped them win it, Laviolette missed the playoffs three straight years.

We've seen the inability to adjust to the Devils and Rangers, yet we somehow expect the coach to adjust his system when he doesn't have ideal pieces to run it.

This rivalry is something else. The games are fantastic but when the games are done no fans, neither coach and none of the players are happy with them.

say what you want. When Fleury got pulled, the team rallied and scored 4 straight.
Bryz gets pulled, and they stay the course.

Maybe because as soon as they face adversity and need an adjustment made, the coach fails to make one?

Briere's played 15 minutes, but Rinaldo who has been busting his ass has two points and is good at drawing penalties is sitting
