Sullivan had one 18 month stretch where he looked like a great coach. Looking back, was it really him or the circumstances? JR kept tweaking the roster up until their great run at the end of 16. Also, Sullivan was able to step out of the usual coaches handbook, VETS 1ST, because he had already worked and gained trust with the young players brought up from WBS. The sad reality is Sullivan has overstayed his welcome. He's not a "great coach". He's your standard cookie cutout hockey coach that over-coaches Defense first, doesn't trust youth and lets VETS rule the roost. FIRE SULLY............That is the only hope for this team.
If the powerplay doesnt improve to average within the first quarter of the season, Sullivan's job should be in question. --- it's the only plausible scenario to gossip about.
Graves should start on the 3rd pair and stay there a while. Keeping it simple and pick up some new tools to the toolkit. Then gradually, maybe not even this season, be in the top 4 and become a mainstay there. The cap hit demands it
I think Hextall failed the team. Dubas is trying to find financial ways to patch things up without picks. It hasn't been great, but it's hard to make a good pizza with a can of tomato soup
Invoking the name of Ron Stackhouse! It’s going to be a great weekend!! Next week…Gary Risling! Go DK!
With that cap hit he needs to step it up let’s see where he is at midway through the season

I was going to say Stackhouse too. He was a good defenseman and was blamed for everything

Let's go Gravey...turn this around guy
🤘🤘
Graves was a disaster last year. He cant be blaming "fake news" for anything related to the perception of that
I'm not sure why everyone thinks Graves is going to rebound. He's the exact same player as he was in Colorado and Jersey.
Not true
Matt Grzelcyk was healthy scratched for boston in the playoffs but is thrown right up on the first pairing here 🙄
He was their top pairing d man before their coaching change
@@MDIFAUand he never sniffed the playoffs and they were fine. hey ian moran was our top dman here too but that doesn’t make it right.
@@jackandcokes losing is fine?
@@MDIFAU who said anything about losing? if we didn’t have if matt grzelcyk, pretty sure we would be fine.
@@jackandcokes you said the bruins were fine in the playoffs without grezleck, they didn’t make it that far
Dubas has failed this team.
