I said it before and i'll say it again, if they're not going to make a trade to address the blueline issues, they need to fire Johnston. He's clearly not able to work with what he has. 4 shots in 27 minutes, completely outplayed, not even a sniff.

It starts with the simplest of things. Dupuis and Kunitz aren't top line material, neither has looked good all season there. Yet shift after shift they're paraded out there, doing nothing at all to show they belong there. Heck, why not give Sid Perron back? I realize the Geno line is working but man some balance would be nice and Perron might help Sid's line actually gain some possession.

The whole Sprong situation is a debacle. Play the kid with some high end offensive talent and let's see how he handles it. It's absolutely mindblowing that Sprong keeps getting sat and the coaching staff is so **** blind to the fact that Dupuis and Kunitz do NOT belong on the top line.

I'm not asking for deep x's and o's, just the simplest of personnel choices. You need to create better offensive chances and puck movement and that starts from the blueline. Dressing Clendening and Pouliot might be an idea. I'd be trying this option before I go and make a stupid trade. If you're not going to address the blueline issues from within or through a trade and you're going to roll with this lineup all season, then can the coach, because he's not getting anything out of this lineup.

If they are rolling with this lineup all season, then obviously the front office believes in this lineup and therefore the coach would have to go.

I don't think Scuderi could have played that any worse.

I don't know what Scuderi was doing there but it wasn't playing defense.

They simply need to find a center for Kunitz and Dupuis.

WTH, 22-6 in shots halfway through the game.

I've been watching the entire game, and let's just say I don't have a great feeling.

Oh, and hey! So, Ehrhoff CAN score. Huh.

He was hurt half the year and didn't even play where he should have, on the PP.
