Can't make up your minds about who you want to blame.
I blame players for doing dumb things that are clearly not coached by any coach anywhere. I blame the coach for making dumb coaching decisions. I blame the managers for mismanaging.
And that's all I've got to say on it. You guys can stick to your plan for mass fanicide. It's pathetic.
Dumb mistakes are not coached, they result from a lack of coaching. And when I say lack of coaching I don't mean BB isn't yapping his mouth. It's about what and how you rehearse in practice. Nothing on this team looks like it is second nature. Just about every team we face looks infinitely more seasoned and precise.
Again. I think the team is treading water with the guy here, but that's no excuse for professional players playing like peewees.
I am with you on this part. But I think you give BB way more credit than I do.
BB said before "Sometime you have to pull the goalie to wake the team up. Its not always the goalies fault. You just need to send a wake up message to the team."
BB should have been sent packing two years ago for this reason.
seems like alot of these guys just simply dont care...and also i really think the defence is missing green..he really calms down all the pairings..and my god can some other team call with an offer for hamrlik..he is so damn slow he makes schultz like husain bolt..guys awfulll
So it's Boudreau's fault that Ovechkin keeps missing shots or that Semin keeps taking minor penalties? What about Ward's turnover? Is that Boudreau's fault too?
Boudreau is a coach. He can't go and play the game for the players.

Yup.
All anyone had to do was watch the HBO special and you could see how much more of a professional Dan Bylsma is while BB looks like a screaming, incompetent, clown.
Don't even bother arguing FOR Bruce tonight....too much blood in the water.
