This style of play is so dependent on sharp passes and our passes have been scheiss.

Remember, two things can be true at once.

Bylsma's system was horrible. What was worse the system or the talent? I doubt we'll ever know.

That has been my point though. That the coaching change doesnt magically erase the 2nd problem. only tackles half the issue

Its why they look better/less boring but are still losing

I wish that JT rumor was true for ROR that dude is playing like garbage

Shy of a win that night "great"

I said we will be able to judge how the next game, games go. Seems it it taking them a period to get going . Still not up to speed yet ..

They came in a bit in the 2nd half of the period. I would like to see some better 5-on-5 play in the 2nd.

I can see that, but at the same time, it's going to take about 20 or so games for everyone to get comfortable with what is going on. That's precisely why I'm not getting caught up in the excitement of one fast game (Montreal) thinking playoffs are possible, because you're going to see periods like the one we just watched until they're comfortable.

If by Christmas they're still this up and down with crappy passing, we know what the issue was, but again, half the starters are new to the team.

We need patience right now, well more, we've been patient enough but we have to wait longer it seems.

Even stanley cup teams have a bad period . And don't win every game .

Please let that sink in and not too far that it falls out your ass.

There's nothing wrong with that

I know the next gen is in good hands with the young talent but man what a treat it was/is to watch those two. Basically brought the NHL back from the ashes.

Housley is doing the best he can with what hes got. I hope the stench of bylsma doesnt make his "leash" shorter.
