Guest Writer: Better Showing; Let’s Play The Blame Game

No amount of painting or cooking will help this team….they’re a solid 2 years from even thinking of contending. The difference in play between this team and a true contender is so blatantly obvious and almost pathetic.

Nemec has to be the laziest player i've ever seen. He's awful and should not be on the roster.

We’ve seen enough of Keefe with a better roster in Toronto to know this is the coach he is, there’s nothing else to expect.

I'm proud of the boys. I don't mind losing as much if the effort is there. Still GUEST WRITER...well, you are permanent in our Hearts, Chris.

Well this is one slow cooking soup.

Heading to the game Friday night. Hoping for win #1.

Coach Marshmallow Keith continues to push all the wrong buttons. This clown is so overrated it’s disgusting! Ownership needs to get serious FAST! This will be 2 years in a row that they allowed the wrong coach to really lose a talented team! Fitz should be sent packing as well. Anyone that would trade for Cholowski, deserves to be unemployed.

Rags just extended Drury, no joke.
perhaps they won't make the playoffs now for a few years!

Pretty crazy to see how deep some teams are on offense. Can't overstate how massive Jack's absence is, but man, we are so far away from other teams in terms of having the necessary skill and the all-important "playoff gamers" throughout the lineup.

You could argue there's 5 or 6 forwards that shouldn't be on the roster next year given what they've shown in both the regular season and playoffs. It's also a shame that it's not even a guessing game. It's Palat and Haula for contractual reasons + clear inconsistency from guys who should reliable veterans. It's Dowling, Bastian and Tatar because they're simply not able to positively impact a playoff game (or regular season game with any consistency) and have no business being on a contender.

There's some pretty considerable work to be done to get this team where they claim they want to be.
