  1. We ousted Doboer for much less than this constant embarrassment. Get this guy outta here. NOT a fan of this “coaching”. Someone has to take a lead here.

  2. sooooo where Grier? have i just missed some public statement from him on the stinkage or is he letting everyone else take the hat? Poor Chrona why put him in the net behind a team that wont pay in front of him right and cant get the puck to the other end

  3. Bro I know there were no expectations, but back to back 10 goal games? Has that ever happened before in NHL history? Fire this guy.

  4. Someone needs to lock Quinn in a broomcloset. "Was proud of our 1st period" They scored 3 goals on us, what is there to be proud of. Awful. Awful response.

  5. You could put every best coach in the history of sports teams together to coach this team and they still wouldn't win.
    It's not JUST the coach when the last two games go that way… It's a team effort. Or lack thereof

  6. It's okay to lose, you're a tanking team in a rebuild. It's not okay to allow 20 goals in 2 games.

    The Cuda have 1 win out of 7, the Sharks have 0 wins out of 11. Maybe it's time to add one more skilled kid and let Gushchin to the forward group or Thrun to the defensive group. Obviously, you'd have to expose certain guys to waivers in order to make that work, but I think it might be worth it. Bordeleau doesn't look NHL ready and probably needs stability in the AHL since he's too undersized to play wing but isn't faceoff ready/2-way ready to play center. You might get more out of this season with that.

    Also, this zone strategy is killing guys like Kyle Burroughs, Mario Ferraro, and Jan Rutta. I don't know who is responsible for it, but it needs to be addressed alongside forwards look for quick breakouts at the blue line. The Sharks look like they're trying to get puck carriers to skate into them but they have no chance of getting it back because the forwards are pressed up against the point or blue line, and the defense is at the goal line. It's clearly not working for a D core that lacks a good top 4 Dman. Hell, Matt Benning is arguably the only guy remotely comfortable with something like this and he's injured.

    I don't think firing David Quinn is the answer because this team is one of the worst teams on paper I've ever seen. It would be churn for the sake of churn. They can make some adjustments to get a few wins but they're bad. However, 20 goals in 2 games is unacceptable

    This team wasn't built to win many games, but damn, you can't give up this many goals.
