Plus, Kevyn Adams SMASHES his press conference, and definitely has one person in mind to be his next head coach. Will it be Lindy Ruff or Rod Brind'Amour???

Whomever the hire, they need to hold these players accountable. There is a lot of talent on this team, but way too many errors, particularly defensively. Berube should be on this list as well.

@BurchyGaming Ай бұрын

Even though he said the system did not change. I feel like our 5v5 entries definitely changed. The year prior our forwards often Would cut to the middle of the ice and another forward would cut in front or behind them for a criss cross which often lead to good chances on the rush but also often lead to turnovers. So in in small aspects i think the system did change to limit turnovers. But overall the forecheck, backcheck, neutral zone and dzone all looked similar. Albeit they played better in their own dzone than the year prior

@rone7982 Ай бұрын

Why would Brind’Amour want to coach an underperforming team that he needs to fix? He has a good team he has built up over the last few years, and unless he gets badly outcoached in the playoffs he’s likely to get an extension from Carolina.

There is one problem with Rod Brind’Amour is he doesn’t play physical enough. The Canes are last in the NHL in hits per game. The offense will be better for sure but need to be more physical just look at the teams who lead the league in hits.

@patrickh799 Ай бұрын

I'm not buying the Brind'Amour rumours. He's going to be back in Carolina. The only reason he doesnt have a contract is because they do business different than everyone else. I didnt even get the sense Kevyn Adams is willing to wait a few weeks to see if he can talk to Brind'Amour. I think he wants to get this done fast and I think its going to be Lindy Ruff.

@neilkennington2397 Ай бұрын

Thankfully Adams wants an EXPERIENCED COACH this time ! Sorry but theres not a chance Brindarmour leaves Carolina to come to Buffalo . Granato was Fired now because he wants to beat the Flyers to Craig Berube , IMO. If its not him then Id be happy with Quennville, Gallant Ruff , Dean Evason, or Boudreau . Hoping Mckee and Peca are hired as assistant coaches.

@andrewzy Ай бұрын

Brind’Amour received a three-year extension following the 2020-2021 campaign, raising his salary from an NHL-low $600,000 to $1.8 million. Now, with one year left on his contract, the former Hurricane forward knows it won’t be an easy negotiation when he sits down at the table with the Carolina brass. “I know it’s not going to be an easy negotiation,” said Brind’Amour on The David Glenn Show. “I can tell you that.” Guess again Neil!!!!!!

Pres of hockey operations Pat LaFontaine, what happened there? This is K Adams team he assembled it while trading away impact players who are in the playoffs(Montour, Reinhart, Eichel). He is an assistant GM at best. Granato deserved better. Trading a center coming into his own for a young D only repeats a system of restocking not adding a vet who can provide an edge ,knowing what it takes to compete. For a coach hire one not connected at all with its past.

@chrismdb5686 Ай бұрын

Eichel and Reinhart needed to go, the damage to their relationship with the locker room and team was already done. As much as I also dislike losing Mittlestadt, Bowen Byram is a great young(er) d-man who has proven he pairs well with Dahlin and Power. We also have a massive logjam of forwards at the moment so the move more than makes sense. We still have: Rosen, Kulich, and Savoie all potentially ready to jump onto the roster as early as next season, not to mention our first round pick in the upcoming draft and any breakouts from training camp.
