No one. It was game one. Vasy needs to stop one or two of those goals, the defense needs to step up, and the team needs to finish games. Bring this up in two weeks if we continue to see a downward trend.
Nobody. One game and we still scored 4 goals. Defense is in a brand new system. Ottawa has historically been a tough opponent for us. Vasy was playing only his second game of the year (and the first one was fight night anyways). I’m firmly in the “give it time” camp
Nobody, despite the end result they look WAY better than last year already, i suspect getting rid of a certain defense coach that shall not be named was a big step forward.
Plus its only game 1 of the season, tons of hockey left
I wouldn’t do anything except dress Finley over Douglas to see what he can bring to the table.
I didn’t dislike Douglas at all but I would love to see what Finley does and brings to this 25-26 roster.
I am once again asking Coop to give Bjorkstrand a shot in the top 6. Bjorkstrand is a better shooter and Gage is a better playmaker/passer, it makes way more sense to flip them imo
Can I say the fans?
As most have echoed it is only one game. Unless we are playing a physical opponent, I would only have one of Lilleberg, Douglas, or Scmidt in the lineup.
I wouldn’t touch the 1st line but would like to see the bottom 9 rearranged.
Hagel-Cirelli-Bjorkstrand
Geekie-Gourde-Goncalves
Finley-Katchouk-Chaffee
Holmberg just seems too slow. Just a younger Glendening. Katchouk is faster, more physical, most likely more offensive, and can also kills penalties.
We’re on pace for 82 loses so definitely time to shake up lines and lose everything training camp and pre season built.
It was game one, but maybe adjust some minutes for the top line. When they get tired… they dont defend the best.
The 2nd line seemed out of sorts. I would like to see Geekie and Bjorkstrand get more minutes, but would be hesitant to shake up the second line after one game.
Moser will be back soon and Paul eventually. Saw a good play or two from Douglas, but not enough time to say anything one way or the other.
Love Kucheeov to shoot more! Opponents are always looking for the pass, but his shot is money!
Time to trade Vasy, its over y’all, he’s cooked 🤣😭
(Clearly a joke, let’s give it some games and have them round to form)
I’d like a to see Gourde on the same line as Hagel.
Not any line changes yet, but if we could not let up so many breakaways/odd man rushes that would be great.
I wouldn’t move players, but I would insist on getting a full 60min of effort instead of just the 20 in the 1st.
