This shit just pisses me off

I think the problem is we have a coach who doesn't know where to play his players and how. It is the end of the season almost, and all year long he has been throwing players in the blender and he was just quoted as saying we should be expecting to see some mixups here in the line up again. This time of year, all other NHL teams are fine tuning their line ups, getting ready for the playoffs, and coaches giving individual practices to the respected lines so they know what their role is. Our coach is still trying to figure out who to play where and with who. He has been coaching for 9 years- he should be BETTER than this by now. He is still the same coach as when he started. No improvement whatsoever. His 10 year old coaching theories don't work in today's NHL. The game has changed- he hasn't. Every coach deals with lazy players, injuries, etc- so don't use that as an excuse for MacTavish either. When you put a cole on the wrong wing, play penner on the 4th line as a grinder and reddox on the first line, It pisses me off. Cole exploded for points in Carolina. It seems players come here and get into this funk or lose their mojo. Is MacTavish the Mojo drainer? I don't know. But instead of getting rid of all our players year after year, why not trying to build a team around someone else other than MacTavish, Staios, Moreau and Horcoff? How does anyone except our hockey players to play when they don't even know what they are supposed to be doing? Nilsson was quoted in an interview, when he came back, saying that MacTavish didn't explain to him what his role was on the team. I mean, when you have Liam Reddox on the top line- does ANYONE know what their role is? lol And Roloson better get a game off here soon. 20+straight starts for a 39 year old, not only is he fatigued but when you are playing tired and worn out you are more open to injury by making a wrong play at the wrong time due to fatigue. I think all of our veterans are classy guys, but there comes a day when if your number one guys aren't producing on a consistent basis year after year, then you may need to try to shake things up. We have to stop rewarding players for "dedication" here and reward players who can produce on paper. And if our coach doesn't get us anywhere year after year, maybe it would be a good idea to give someone else a chance. Fans are getting sick and tired of this crap already in Edmonton.
