Lupul rules man.

Passive is a bloody understatement.  Just standing around.  That's a coaching decision.

Exactly, that must be a coaching decision. I doubt that the players are just so lame that they forgot how to skate. And if things don't work, things must change. And we've seen these lame goals in several games.

Do you guys even read what you write?

Yes, and believe it or not, but some coaches actually believe in that kind of a system.

What kind of system, the 'Lay back and think of England' play or just the one you're making up?

Having that kind of a box and moving as little as possible.

Thats not a box its a coffin.

You don't think our coaches preach standing around like idiots during penalty killing practice?

edit: If they practice it at all that is.

Well either they do or they just stink at communicating what they want. 

Or the players aren't good at putting the system to work... right?

And they've failed to do so game after game? Seems kind of weird if you ask me.

If you ask Quinn, Maurice and Wilson I betcha they have something similar to say...

 

[Tigger]

Ho hum. Another multiple point night for Kessel.

Did Shrimp win the bet though?

 

[maplesyrup]

Lupul and Gardiner for who?

 

[bustaheims]

I bet he's wishing he made it now. ;D

You really believe that Wilson endorses that? C'mon.

Well so what you are saying is that the players are just too stupid to understand the instructions from the coaching staff, and this has been going on game after game for a very long time?

 

[Mikhail Bloodnovsky]

OMG Komisarek you idiot,

Noone is around and he does the same thing, puts the puck on his backhand and shoots the puck massive 10 feet into opposing player to keep the puck in the zone. Hate this guy.

He should never use his backhand, ever.

 

[ZBBM]

I hope the debate over whether Gustavsson is a capable NHL goalie is over.  He's got the skills to be a starter, and has shown it these last few games.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Seems about as reasonable as saying that the coaching staff has deployed the same failing penalty killing strategy for the past 5 years without trying to improve it.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Like Connolly's back-checking effort.

 

[Arn]

4 assists to the Leafs D tonight, none of them to Phaneuf. Nice.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Don't make Schen angry.

 

[barney_rebel]

damn...

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Hope it wakes Schenn up.

Well lets say he doesn't, then what does it tell about his control if this is the case over and over again. Poor communicator? Lack of faith in the coaching staff from the players? Or that the players just frankly are quite stupid and don't understand game after game.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

That was close....
