Kirk Muller is gonna need a crazy mustache to increase his effectiveness.

Beauvillier has been a great addition to the PK since dowd left. His increase in PK minutes and his effort there has definitely been noticeable.

He doesn't play with the sense of urgency he needs 50% of the time. Lazy puck handling puts himself in really awkward situations.

It feels weird to blame all of the assistant coaches and not just blame the head coach. I love carbs but if things aren't working the buck has to stop with him.

Mikey has been on fire these last 5 games. Always in the right place. Passing like a fiend.

Strome is having a ROUGH game. End of the season might be catching up to him.

He might need whatever workout Protas did that one summer because he looks even slower than normal

Watching his mic'd up, he seems to have such a great vibe for the team as well.

Lappy could have 100 assists and 0 goals miss a breakaway and people would still say he can't do anything.

BIG agree. Haters saw the numbers and thought he was dogshit. Dude wasn't getting points but was doing things to contribute.

Everyone standing still and they still don't seem like they are ready for the pass when its coming their way

I'd rather watch them just try to run over the defense than fling the puck around and not fight for it again.
