Coaching HAS TO BE Responsible

Let me start by saying I'm a John Hynes guy. I loved his hire- I liked his original coaching selections and I've been a fan of his choices- UP TO THIS YEAR. Let's just stick with the facts and see where this goes. From year one June of 2015, Hynes' hire date, this team had 5 double digit scores- that year. Last year they had 10. Goals For Goals Against- 2015- against in Hynes first season- 182/202 Last year 243-240. Goals against Average 2015- Schneider/Kinkaid 2.55/3.44. We'll leave out Wedgewood and Danis. 2018- Same Scneid's and Kinkaid- 3.16/2.98 again we'll leave out Lack and Apply. PP/PK Pct of 2015- 19.92% and 82.95% This past season 2018- PP/PK: 21.43% and 81.78%. Now this season; PP/PK: 19.51% and 83.72%. So what does the bottom line tell us? It tells us that this team 'can be' better than it is playing right now- it seems to have an identity crisis that seems to be paramount being said AND it tells us that we will go no where with a PP that is horrific and a goaltending situation that needs to be addressed or rectified depending on if you wish to continue support Cory- lets be real and truthful about Kieth Kinkaid- we will not win a Stanley Cup with him in net. Please dont get me wrong- I think they are both nice guys but this is a league of results. Speaking of which, I think Andy Greene has the respect of of every team that burns him- which seems to be all of them. There needs to be a buyout- plain and simple. Without droning like most tabs- hard times are here for a team that is in 4/5 of the 'master plan' that mutters the word 'rebuild.' i do not want to god that again. We need AT LEAST two solid D-men WITH SIZE. In a world of 'speed and more speed' when the playoffs role around SIZE MATTERS. Lou might have strapped us with a couple of bad last second contracts but size and grind become prevalent in the post season. 1- The coaching staff needs to upgrade on special teams. 2-we need a better D, I know easier said then done. 3- We need better goaltending with guys names other than Schneider and Kinkaid. 3- I'm not a 'buy freak bc we have the money- I'm for buying to improve' we can- we should and we should do it before John Hynes is fired. Hynes is a good coach and he's not responsible for bad play by good players- but he is responsible for the PF/playoff appearances when the time comes.
