What do you mean exactly

I understand being responsible and not taking bad penalties and following instructions and the team system. But if the system is not the appropriate one or not applied properly it's on Lavy.

Has anyone seen our captain?

My guess is missing most of training camp has created a few different issues for him.

Thankfully, we know he isn't hitting the links.

The Orange and Black are gonna win this game.

Watch.

No running around, no overaggressive forecheck that gets burned by a simple outlet pass, better gap control and puck support in the transition game, fewer defensive breakdowns and half-assed clearing attempts, fewer dumb penalties.

It will be a good first step if they do, but honestly the big issues still remain. So far this game has been grandma's ass ugly.

what, you mean you don't think its effective for 2 guys to hit the dman behind the net who has already passed the puck up to the forward who has now sprung an odd man break? maddening

We're gonna see fire out of the gates this period. The even strength monkey is gone and they're gonna want more.

We have been seeing all the same issues and problems last year ..... What can the players do ....not follow the coaches instructions ?

The first few times, I though it was cool, but over the past three years it's gotten a little old.

Mutiny.

or exile Laviolette to Elba or Dryisland

its even cooler when the third forward is also below the dot and even cooler when he is below the goal line

I doubt the coach's instructions are to run around and make a blind clearing pass up the middle of the ice.

It's not all on the coach, as much as I've been in favor of him being fired. There's some blame on the players, too.

I'm counting on it.

B. Schenn needs to get better, quickly.

The worst thing that makes me absolutely crazy is nothing is corrected or adjusted.
If the forecheck in Lavy's system is not applied properly by the players, it's his freaking job to correct it. Or if they apply it correctly in Lavy's eyes, it's on him also.


2 seasons with the exact same BS ..... it's time for a change and in 10 games that change is coming

well it is the coach who wants them to be aggressive on the puck. Granted the players need to be smarter and more discipline at times

There's as much blame, if not more, on the players then the coach. But you can't fire the whole team. Coach is going to get the axe.

- nastyflyergirl

Yeah, but they lose board battles and routinely get outworked. I doubt the coach is urging them to use a one armed poke check on the wall
