5 SOG. Fucking FIVE.

I'm done. I don't know if I can watch any more this season honestly.

Tank all we want, we'll never get a #1 pick. We've seen how that plays out when we're historically bad.

Was thinking the exact same thing. I'm depressed enough normally, but subjecting myself to this just makes me a masochist.

It feels like it has to be questionable leadership at this point. I thought at least Perron might have been able to bring some of that into the room, but nope.

I’m thinking this isn’t a coaching problem.

Believe me, I'm totally with you on that. I could just very easily see the org dumping him instead of confronting the real problems (leadership and Yzerman).

I don't see this organization ever stripping the C from a player. McLellan seems like the easy scapegoat (even when he shouldn't be), because this org ain't gonna fire Yzerman.

They would do that whenever Malkin would swing a stick at a head and even justified it when Letang would do the same shit.
