Yep, that’s exactly what they need all right.

As Joe Y points out, it actually pains me to see this once proud organization crumble in disarray.

Coaches aren’t coaching well and what at one time seemed to be a very talented group of kids aren’t playing well. Goalie position is a complete fiasco. Sacco is the Josh McDaniels of hockey.

Their answer seems to be ‘dancing with the oldies’ for nostalgia and fuzzies. Bring back Peter Forsberg…put Joe in the front office. LaCroix has become an executive shadow.
Some nostalgic moves I’d buy is bring in Roy as a goalie coach, or Bourque as a defense coach.

How about putting all your efforts into fixing what’s happening ON THE ICE, eh? It just feels like they’ve combined little/poor direction with no urgency. Painful, TRULY PAINFUL.
