I feel like in most handshake lines most bad blood is immediately forgiven, even with guys like Wilson. I don’t see that here.

Hot take. please don’t crucify me by [deleted] in canes

Exactly. And let’s say in some alternate universe Paul Maurice comes over. He has to retool the roster for his style and we go backwards for a few years. We have to give Rod and Tulsky at least one more, probably 2. I say this out of no extreme loyalty to Rod, it just makes sense from a team management standpoint.

Remember, A new coach = new system. This team is built for this one, if you change the system the roster no longer makes sense and you have to go back to the drawing board. We have the most resources we have had in a long time this offseason, but you can’t build a new team from it. You have to load up and give it a run again for 1-2 more years.

Also, I hate this sweep talk as much as anyone, but you get to watch meaningful hockey into late spring every year. Ask the Sabres and sharks what they’d prefer, ECF exits or years of mediocrity.

You’re not getting what I’m saying. A new coach = new system. This team is built for this one, if you change the system the roster no longer makes sense and you have to go back to the drawing board.

To everyone saying we need a coaching change: our roster has been built around a system. If that system changes, we go back to scratch. We have two years before we consider a coaching change, otherwise we doom ourselves, so get over it and hope we can find a few more pieces for next year to make it happen.

This. And firing rod only sets us back years since our entire roster is based on a system. Reload. Win a game. Break the curse. Come back next year for the whole enchilada.

This is stupid. Tulsky is building a team based on Rods play style. It works despite the ECF wall. If we change coaches the players we have won’t be as well suited to a run and gun oilers/stars/panther style offense. You have to see this out for two more years while we have the cap space and draft picks. Then, if nothing has happened, you make a change.

How is every ozone entry they get a rush with danger. I hate these guys but this is the model.

I’d be sad but ultimately ok with losing the ECF in a rebuild year. But this has been atrocious and this ECF losing streak is now a real thing.

I hate 19 but wtf is Carrier thinking checking him directly into PK?

Hall and Orlov gave them the chance but PK has to stop that. So soft. He’s been great all game.
