I'd go with Oshie, but as you say, slim pickings right now..   

If fact I'd be fine with jamming some skates on Alan May.........   

[Surreylily]

I wonder if we could send our lads up to London and get Dale Hunter to give them a drilling for a week......

[Surreylily]

That's coaching.  The team wasn't ready for the playoffs last season because he sucks and they are in a freefall because he sucks.

Slamming the coach and wanting him replaced is fine, but who with?
It's not really feasable at this time of the year.  If we wern't going to make the playoffs, maybe, but we will.  If we crash and burn early, than absolutely, but untill then, Reirdon it is.

    Eller has been playing well but was bad today. Mind you pretty much everyone was. I think our best all around player right now is Wilson.

I haven't thought Wilson has played well.  He ALWAYS plays hard which is good, but his skill game has sucked of late.  If I had to pick one guy who's our best right now it would be Alexander Semin.

Agreed.  But he still sucks. Deer in the headlights in terms of changing anything other than the top 2 lines.

It's not the line shuffling that bothers me, it's the lack of correcting the repeated mistakes.  Our players are making the same mistakes constantly.  Over and over again.  The passing/giveaways, the telegramed stretch passes, the awfullness on face=offs.  Stupid penalties, lack of discipline and jjust pure basic laziness.
This is what annoys me about Reirdon right now.
Has he lost the room?

has Reirdon ever really had the locker room?? Has the talent been able to compensate for the last 1 1/2 seasons and can’t hide it anymore? Last year I wasn’t ready to blame the coach, but this year I am.

   Best all around player doesn't translate to skill. Wilson does everything for this team. He is a physical presence, will fight if needed, he is very good on the forehead,  not afraid to dig the puck out in the corners, also not afraid to go to the dirty areas in front of the net, he has decent speed, he is also a good back checker. He plays on the pk and pp. He manages the puck fairly well, doesn't try to get too cute. Instead of trying a low percentage toe drag he will chip and chase. He plays within his limits. You say he is lacking the skill. Well he has enough skill to have scored 19 goals so far this season. Wilson is by far our best all around forward.
      And since we are talking about skill. Kuzy is our most skilled player but maybe the laziest and he makes a lot of very bad mistakes. Not sure if it's selfishness or a low hockey IQ. I like some parts of his game but he can be a bit of a flake.
