Philly local here and watching while holding back the urge to vomit... this team is lost in the locker room. They despearately need a Torts-like coach to crack this back into form and steal the complacency that Coach Claude & Voracek have instilled. This is an ASAP matter so they don't ruin the entire young D corp, an upstart goalie and Konecny...
IMHO, I think the best move right now is to move those two while they have solid trade value and load up on a few of these VERY fast 20 year olds that the rest of the league seems to have no problems with pulling up to the parent club and letting them skate cirlces around every player over 27 years of age.
Rant over... which reminds me of a case in Point: Rantanen... and Point for that matter... you don't have to be a top 3 pick anymore to raise eyebrows before legal drinking age! And for the love of Laviolette, can Voracek pass the dang puck before carrying it 20 seconds and turning it over... oh and please put a guy in front of the net instead of 2 or 3 behind the net........ ok rant really over now. Gonna go see if we can jump the Flames now.
