he literally said these games matter, I am going to coach differently and shorten the bench (roll 3 lines)


there is no way to develop that third line if we have 2 or 3 larry's for him to lean on that can't score

If these games matter, why hasn't he _________________________.

^^Can add a lot to the blank. Answer is he's basically played musical chairs with the lines and hoped it fixed itself. And you're right that "3rd" 4th line is frightful. Please let 1k games be Kyle's last.

Most coaches go safe when there's a choice to be made between players to play?

That almost always means playing veterans over young players, and especially rookies.

Seems similar to how McD game manages when things are tense.

Zero expectations or pressure last season.

Amazing what a little of each does to decision making.

At least they extended him, and took the real pressure off.

Why hasn't the coaching staff changed the obviously abysmal power play structure and approach, when it's been substandard going back February last season?

They don't know what to do. Always been the fear of Donnie. Does he have more than 1 way and can he make adjustments?

Mentioning McDermott with Donnie kind of ruins the point.

To bad his GM didn't help his cause much, both have been Questionable at best.

HAHAHAHA!!!!

>>> Breaking: #Giants HC Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen will walk away from the team if they aren’t given full autonomy in the offseason.

The duo are fed up of interference from ownership and both men have assurances they can return to Buffalo if things become untenable.

Honestly I have no idea they could blow them out, or get blown out... 9 games into the season and it feels more and more like this team has quit because of all the injuries. hard when you loose your best play on each level of the defense and your #2 WR has played okay for one game so far.
