Clean house...

Pulled the goalie wayy too early in this game against the Blue Jackets when points are crucial and we get scored on. Terrible decision. Tired of the way this team is playing right now. Its time to get rid of Maurice and yes Francis. The power play is f**king pathetic.

dunno enough about hockey (just a casual viewer) to tell whether or not we need new coaches, but..

we were so close. the guy even rang the effin horn thing for a split second like we scored. BOOO lol

There's a reason Mo was replaced in the first place. This team will look a whole lot different next year, trust me on that one.

This is what happens when your team is young. Inconsistency. We could very well hit another hot streak before the season is over. We are only 2 points back right now. We need San Jose to win tonight to keep us close.

Everyone needs to just relax and let the season unfold. We aren't out of it yet. We still have time.

I agree. It is stupid to get so fired up. The power play is pathetic, but I don't know if it has as much to do with the coaching as it does effort. We looked lazy all day, both even strength and on the PP. We couldn't get into the zone (outside of Staal's line) and I believe less than 50% of the problem is coaching and scheme. We look flat out lazy. Our first line is outstanding. Our second line is above average. After that, we dump, don't chase, therefore it is a turnover.

Bowman, Jussi, Staal, Stillman, and Skinner were the only guys on ice who seemed to play balls to the wall at all. So, that was good. The second goal Cam gave up was pure laziness. He didn't move at all. Just held his glove up and prayed. Move your body and at least get in front of it. You have defensive numbers.

Was at the game, trust me they looked worse in person.

If they are going to finnish the season w/a wimper they won't and shouldn't go the the playoffs!Finnish the rest of the season strong and they will get in deservedly!

[G()AT]

Really need a regulation win tomorrow... running out of time...

[iamcline]

I can tell you what will happen. We'll edge into the Playoffs by a point, go to the Conference Finals...get swept...and give Rutherford just enough reason to keep Maurice.

Are you telling us what will happen or what has already happened?

Mo needs to go...I mean every time some lines start playing together well, he fugs them up and changes them. True, he is youngest coach to coach a 1000 games, but his record is right at 500.....means he is just an average coach. The Canes have a lot of talent and should be playing better than what they are. Power play is gawd awful.

Oh and not playing inspired should be a reflection of the coaching staff.

IDK what Mo is thinking with changing good lines, but the facts are this:

-PP sucks, we all know.

-PK is average at best.

-Effort is NOT 100%. We have a few that are all out every game (Staal, Sutter, Stillman, just to name a few). Need full effort from all 18.

-Ward/defense isn't consistent. Either Ward lets weak shots by or the defense in front of him has an untimely line change or they skate themselves out of position at least 3 times a game.

Now, a large portion of that is coaching. And I will agree, the changing of good lines gets old. Real old. But I have to think there is a method to his madness. Maybe trying everything out before the playoffs to see different guys together. No, this isn't the time to do that. It is too close to playoff time and we're not guaranteed a spot, but he knows as well as we all do we have the talent to do it. I think Mo is a good coach, he just doesn't do things in a timely fashion. Rutherford needs to sit down with him and Francis at the end of the season and lay down the law. Win the damn division! We're every bit as good as Washington, if not better. We could be leading the Eastern right now with our talent. Every time I watch NHL Overtime I have to hear about the damn Caps.
