Marty has faced 3 of the best coaches in the NHL playoffs this year, and has beaten two of them. You're being too hard on him.

Let’s be clear here, I’m not advocating firing Marty, he’s got something and will continue to learn.

I’m advocating firing Robidas and Letowski and getting Marty some real help.

no that is on the players.

I said this in the GDT but the Canes always know where be in transition, and everyone on the ice seem to know where they're supposed to be. Even if you believe their players are better, they're not THAT much better than our players. It's coaching. They have a game plan and they have a system with set plays. They know if "this" is happening to do "that" and they can trust that a teammate will be there, and they are always there. There's just no way that even their 3rd and 4th liners are so good that they just always know the right play and see the ice like Gretzky and make blind passes that work out almost every time. No, they know where their teammates are because their teammates are where they are supposed to be.

And their forecheck is relentless and planned... by the coach.

Bullshit

No adjustments made. Not getting through to players.

Blame 20 guys instead of the general. Typical human behavior.

you assume that Marty has not made any adjustments, no way that the soft clearings is what Marty wants, fck we get the puck go to clear it , it is soft and Canes get it, we get the puck back and do it again. Our soft clearings, losing battles, our lack of shooting, constant icing etc is on the players and you know it. You want him to be a Maverick and play the "black aces" ... that is not happening.

i don't disagree with their system, as i have repeated here already, we shoot our selves in the foot with the constant soft clearings, the weak passes, losing battles, and not shooting the puck..that shit is on the players. Marty has said it over and over again what he wants and the boys are fucking it up..

Yeah, but I’m more disappointed in Slafkovsky. 6’3 / 230. Come on. Too soff.

for sure....but he hasn"t been the same since his fight and hit.....there's no way he wasn't concussed after both those plays

Cole doesn't look injured....his skating is as good as regular season, and so is his shot....he's just not winning those board battles that we usually won during regular season.

Why blame Suzuki ? He's trying....but Suzy can't do it all himself.....just like Demi can't do it all himself.

That trade deadline move that didn't pan out must have been for a big winger....HuGo knew that top 2 lines needed help
 
I don't know why Marty wants Newhook on top line instead of Andy ? You need a board crasher that will get pucks for Cole and Suzy
 
It's hard to believe the same team that made Kucherov and Point look 50 years old a few weeks ago (with Dobson out) is making Carolina's 4th line look like the Legion of Doom. Marty made a lot more adjustments in that series too.

It was a few weeks ago . . . before two seven game series had been fully played.
