With another lacklusture effort in the loss to PEI, I was wondering if anyone would consider a coaching change?
How long do we give this team to get healthy and gel before we look at other options?
My problem is not with the losses but with the lack of effort & emotion in them.I don't think the coaches are using this teams size properly. If we want to be successful we need to have a better forecheck and pound the body more. For some reason Mario isn't getting this from them.
I think we have heard every possible excuse after losses. The latest being not enough practices with so many new faces in the line up. I don't buy it since PEI has lots of new players and traded down, yet they come in and outplay us & hold us to 21 shots at home!!!
Are there any possible candidates out there that could get more from this team? Would you let Mario finish the year and judge him on their playoff performance? They wouldn't need a GM until the season is over so they could find someone to just fill the coaches role.
Just curious to see peoples takes on this.

Fire that Mullet mother ***** 2 days before the playoffs Place Hanna as an Interm head coach for the playoffs judge how he does let that roll into the off season and evaluate the position from there,
As far the the GM job goes..... Give him and Roux & the hockey operations magager Liboiron
the Axe its time for Morency to get his board of goons together and Clean house starting with then 2 goof balls Mcneil and ferguson in the booth... because there is no way I can listen to them during the playoffs while the team is away bantering about the same bullshit its bad enough now....

His ego only lets him critisize and show how clever he is, all the while I HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT THE PLAY.............however there is always next year..............as for mario...........there will be no coaching changes now. |

Adam hasn't gotten back to his godly ways...yet Thanks to the inconsistant work ethic displayed in this teams first 45 games or so we don't have the luxury of waiting for chemistry to develop or players to get over their WJHC hangover. |

First Round Exit....................fire the whole works from Paul MacDonald to the Stick Boy and every one in between . No way, we're going to be the underdog remember. I bet you can write the post-elimination CB Post article right now about how Moncton's intense veteran team was too much for our underdog 3rd place team and how Mario's glad he acquired Dion and Woodworth for the future and got Verroneau some seasoning in goal. Makes me sick, honestly, considering where this team was a short 12 months ago and how little effort went into making that team a contender. |

Jack, I actually like the team and am excited to see what a full roster could do, but with a 13-10-1-1 home record and shitty efforts like against PEI I am starting to wonder why they can't get more out of this team. Even with Horyl and Legault out they should have enough guns to get more than 21 shots against a lesser team.
Would you consider a change at this point??

At the pre-trade period point.... In October.... When we lost to Quebec after being up 2-0 coming home.... LAST trade period..... Yep, I think i'd consider a change or 2.  I don't care how good Legace-Adam-whoever looks on paper. On ice is all that matters, we've already learned that the hard way, and we're about to learn it again. It also gets me how we take the heart out of our D(imo, I know) and don't replace it then get suprised when a Stinziani tears us up while Legace and Adam can't do a thing. Hockey is a 3 zone game, and if you can't get the puck out of your own zone it doesn't matter how good your forwards are. Our biggest weakness before trading was just BIGGER when we were done even though we traded all those players and picks. To say the ball was dropped here would be an extreme under statement. But there will be all summer for the I-Told-You-So's, right? Let's just watch this team sleepwalk for the last 20 games and go into Moncton....i'm sure they'll do just fine. |

I agree that our D is a big issue. Before Ward was traded I thought we lacked a top pairing D. When Ward was traded I kept waiting for us to pick up an impact D. I guess Mario didn't see this as an issue or the prices were too high.  We might have been better off keeping Gelinas......oh well. Anyone hear how Mario's contract talks are going?  ? |

Paul- Mario your contract is up and I think were going to weigh or options and look elswhere
Mario- Paul But the work I put into this year and looking towards 2012 I believe I have a 5year plan in place we disscused this,
Paul- Well Mario I understand and do like what I see you doing in those 3 years, maybe we can compremise, Maybe we can work something out, What are you looking for?
Mario- Well Paul with the 3 year plan we have in place will suit fit and I would like to stick around to accomplish these goals, and maybe a 4th year to start a rebuild for you and we can go from there?
Paul- Sold Mario, your so clever, lets eat and sign the papers.
Thats how its gonna go down

I think the team would have to have another 5 or so bad games at home in a row for some people to even realize that this has been going on all year and that it's a real problem. I think some people got too wrapped up in Luke Adam's successful start and his Team Canada performance to remember that hockey is a team game and that a successful playoff team has to be strong in all areas of the game. We have to be the SMALLEST big team I have ever seen!
It was interesting to read Bobby Smith's comments about their rebuilding process which is well under way and how he emphasized how valuable those early round draft picks are if you are going to rebuild successfully. I think Halifax has 5 picks in the first 37 or so in what is supposed to be a very strong draft year plus maybe a good Euro pick as well.
How many 1st 2 round picks do we have? I used to know.
