Re: Fire Mike Eaves?
What really gets me mad about this program is how you don't see any player development on the offensive side. It seems their entire offensive plan is to throw as many 40 foot shots on goal as possible, hope someone is standing in front of the goalie, or the goalie doesn't see the puck or a scrum develops in front of the net and the puck manages to dribble in. Hockey by probability. If we take 50 bad shots from the blueline every game, we should be able to eek out a goal or two. No creativity. Nobody making a move to drive on the net. No play to put someone on the backdoor.
Watch us when we break out into a 3 on 2 rush. Do you see any players crossing over each other? Drop passes? Cut sideways in front of the net looking for space? No. All three players skate right at the goalie and we end up with a feeble shot and three players in no position to make any plays.
This would have been my 30th year for season tickets. I cancelled them because we finished so poorly last year and nobody in the athletic department seemed to care enough to do anything about it. Watching this team is not worth $22 a game. If I go at all this year, I am bringing a paper bag to wear over my head. Maybe that will start getting people's attention. You don't even hear any grumbling yet in the media.
