You’re basically suggesting chiarelli failed to identify any potential regression and just assumed postitive linear development for everyone. And didnt bother to shore up the defence and actually actively downgraded the offence. Which is a fair assessment and a totally boneheaded move that should lead to his firing.

But yeah, our special teams doesn’t just let us down, it’s historically bad and has us spotting one or two almost on a nightly basis. So when you’re not answering on your own pp (and for some reason not getting many opportunities) and also don’t have the firepower up front to answer 5v5, it’s a recipe for disaster.

But while I’ve been pretty reticent to put much on the coaches and have entirely focused on pc, it’s a pretty fuking awful job from the coaching staff and beyond debate at this point

Chiarelli I agree 💯 he has crippled your team!! And possibly for many years!! He should be fired!! But todd. I would start with the staff around him. He is a good coach. And really who is out there

Now we negotiating.

I want all centers... At center, on the wings, on D, in the net, as our coaching staff... I even want Joey Moss fired, and replaced by a center.

Not sure if he'd understand the job duties.

Now we negotiating.

It's a game of give and take, my friend.

And to think, I used to defend Chiarelli and some of his moves, he's as dumb as Jimbo. How did those two clowns win a Cup together?

Not sure if he'd understand the job duties.

Perhaps not, but he is certainly qualified.

It's a game of give and take, my friend.

It's a (frank)ed up world... Best not to ask questions, and just pull the trigger on that trade.

According to my calculations, 5 more #1 overall draft picks, and we're a contender...













for the playoffs.

Curb your optimism sir. It’s off putting and unbecoming.

How about 7 #1 overall draft picks?

So the idea is get him canned then hired by another team to pony up a couple of 1st's for Russell. I dig it.
