IC Khari Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Ok, we have a loser team up 3 - 1 going into the third and we still can't get over that hump? What the heck is it going to take for this team to accomplish something that really isn't as monumental as it is turning it into? This team has the talent to do it but not the psychi it seems. Arghh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Is that a skip on that record? It'll take the team to play more consistent, better goaltending, less penalties, better PK and better 3rd pairing D. 4/7 (5 on the road) since healthy isn't too bad...said before and say it again, you don't fire the coach after half a dozen or so games with a healthy roster...this isn't the Bombers of the past.

bustamente Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Roster is just not good enough in all aspects of the game, but it will come down to changing the coaching staff and maybe some of the other prospects making the jump next year.

Ducky Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Roster is fine except 3rd pairing D....maybe tweak the 4th line and get another backup....Helle will be fine once he gets more experience....what part of roster don't you like? Defensive depth is a concern. Poolman signing would be nice but we are lucky if he makes the team and replaces Postma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustamente Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Simply put i think our roster is over rated by many, don't get me wrong we have some very good players but some of the young players should be in the minors and some of the veterans should be playing somewhere else, until this is addressed this team will not be a playoff contender, As for Poolman some say that he is ready to be a 5/6 d on this team again maybe a little optimistic but who knows, i actually have my doubts that he will sign with us, but i have watched him play and hope he does sign as i like the way he plays.

Ya and we could use the depth too. I hope Chevy does something about it AT LEAST by the end of the entry draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Khari Posted January 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Tucker Poolman has pretty good size 6'2" and just shy of 200 lbs, and he has some skills for sure ... bustamente 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the roster is fine except a 3rd pair D and 4th line who don't play enough to make a difference. .. then that means the problem is coaching IC Khari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
