Rudderless ship issue


Recommended Posts

So our system is free wheeling with offensive zone circle cycling to get shots top half of circle or high slot. It's what we do. Blue line has green light to blast as long as somebody is low. Simple hustle play style, allows us to put work in on teams who don't have the speed and endurance.

 

Well, yet again we face a team that can hang and now we can't buy shots. Everybody looking for the pass to wear down teams and nobody trying to strike fear. 

 

The system needs to adapt. Not change. Just adjust. Get some set plays. Crash the fuging net. 

Morrow didn't need to see the ice. Put Niki with Orlov and call it a day. Jarvis is likely fuging concussed. Shocked if he isn't. So now we need to replace his impact (give Blake the minutes. He's earned it). 

Run Koochie for the next two games. Freddie is exhausted. 

Marty needs to scrap with anybody not named Marchand. 

We're needing goals and we spend the entire pp passing and I just don't fuging get it

What's crazy is even with Walker not playing after leaving Morrow still only has six minutes of ice time why DRESS SOMEONE TO HIDE HIM ON THE BENCH AND PLAY 4D

Slavin and Burns are fuging toast right now. They're exhausted as hell. Ghost is literally just trying to not let guys behind him because he doesn't have the legs right now. Orlov is Orlov.

 

Let Niki bomb. Teach Nikishin "off" and let him fuging try to run a normal shift.

I'll add this, his system doesn't work against teams like Florida and that's who the Canes are going to need to beat for a cup shot. 

 

The problem is it works against most of the league. It's hard as hell to justify poo canning the guy who brought you into relevance year in and year out because he fails to win cups. If we hire a guy to replace Rba and he fails to make the playoffs, we lose the culture built entirely. That's the risk.

 

RBA needs to be able to switch it up. We need to be setting up Aho and Svech and Jarvis every game. We aren't. Telling them to go find their space and shoot when they can isn't working. We need some set plays so we can free up space for some cross crease. Florida can, why can't we?

Just like any other sport, if you're current build and staff can't win, replace and fix til you can. The goal is a cup, if you can't win a cup. Reset and rebuild.

It's not about not being able to win the Cup, or even to get past Florida.

It's about losing your team.

Doesn't matter what sport. Once that happens, you are done as a coach in that town.

I'm not in the locker room, so idk for sure if the team has turned on him. But, that's damn sure what it looked like tonight!

They dont have faith in him or the system, its just reached the head, the team isn't as bad as they looked tonight that's a team that gave up because they know what they were doing wont work

Yes, did you see him dress Morrow and then only play him 3 shifts before Walker got hurt??? Then only played him another 5 minutes the rest of the game and played 4d basically.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
