Uncharacteristic game tonight. Hughes-Hronek had a rough game. A loss was coming anyway

One week to US Thanksgiving.
Historical odds are supposed to suggest - if you are NOT in the playoffs at this calendar point; you won't be.

GULP!

Yeah sure but we are tied for 32nd (with San Jose) In regulations wins, that's very much not sustainable if we want to stay a competitive team

If the Avs had panic-fired Jared Bednar during our worst season ever; we would never have Cup #3 and one of the best teams of the past half-decade and counting.

I don't know where Woodcroft ranks in the coaching lists or where he will rank; but maybe this just wasn't the right fit for him with a group of players that just don't seem to be on the same page and not all committed to doing what it takes to play truly elite level two-way hockey.

So I was right Wood was gonna be fired but didnt get the game right

Like how do you not fire him after SJS but you decide to fire him after they win in nice fashion vs SEA

Makes 0 sense

Anyways things dont improve Holland's next

That guy (woodcroft) came across so odd to me but I always liked him. I hope he gets another gig, but maybe he’s more effective on the team management side and not coaching. Idk, never worked with him. I could see him as an agm from what we’ve seen.

He coached Brown and McDavid with the Otters.

I feel bad for Woodcroft. He's the scape goat for Holland not doing anything to address the teams biggest needs, McDavid being injured, and two goalies being down right horrible. No doubt he'll be back in the league in some capacity. Come home to Toronto, Jay!

The issue is rn with the Oilers in a bad state prices for guys will be to high and as we saw vs. SEA they can be good when coordinated. Maybe that was what they needed maybe not. If things dont improve Holland's next

Anaheim has the best future of any team in the NHL IMO. They are the most likely team to win multiple cups in the next decade. They have all the right pieces

Hard to argue against the Sabres, but the Ducks are up there. They've still got Zellweger and Pastujov in the system as well. No doubt a bright future

True, I just like ANA centers a bit better going forward given their age and ceilings
