I really think we need someone to kick these guys in the behind. Need a guy like Tortarella. I’m not a big fan of his, but we absolutely need someone who can challenge this core and start a fire in them. They’ve gotten « player coaches » like Keefe and Ruff, and that’s just not working.

Couldn’t agree more on all fronts. If they’re still here after the Olympic break I’m gonna lose it; keep them far away from a trade deadline where we need to be sellers please

It’s the low event hockey thats killing me. Like if we were in this same position, but losing games 6-5? I wouldnt be happy, but at least the games would be entertaining. This team is just absolutely not built for low event defensive hockey. They needed a system because they were a disorganized mess before this. But not a system that absolutely negates the thing that was making this team win.
I had the thought last night that I had grown up watching devils trap hockey, and it was not as boring as that Columbus game was.

Alex is spot on
Imo, Keefe only REALLY needs to go because he was hired by Fitz. I think hes neutering the offense, but I also think Fitz is forcing this.

I don’t think Keefe should get a free pass because of Fitzgerald’s mistakes.
I think he’s done an awful, awful job. He’s made Fitzgerald’s mistakes worse. He was *never* the right coach for a young, exciting team.
I also don’t like how much he deflects blame and how little responsibility he takes for the team’s poor play and lack of effort.

Would it be smart to fire Fitz and let the new GM decide what to do with keefe?
