Rivera up for Coach of the Year Again


CollegePanther

Recommended Posts

Rivera can do it if he recognizes his faults and gets some help.

1. Can't recognize talent, needs to understand his loyalty will ruin him, from dog housing Norman and starting the wrong oline, secondary etc. Hopefully he learns with more options due to cap.

2. Game managing, time, clock, needs a killer instinct

3. Needs a better supporting cast, again a loyalty, 'it's good enough' issue. Doubt this will change, I sense he'll do or die with the coaching we have now unfortunately.

4. Needs to take more risk, trust himself and his players, which affects all of the above.

If he can recognize his weaknesses he really can be a great coach.

Just my opinion.

The biggest mystery to me is why he completely went away from going for it on 4th down after we had immense success with it last year, why would you just do a 180. To be honest that is my major gripe with him, why would any coach completely abandon something that was our idenity and gave us excellent results

    • Right I need to grow up because you got..... a single poo emoji pot meet kettle.
    • @PantherChrisgrow the fug up.  We read you whine and bitch about so much all the time, let someone have their own take on things instead of being a petulant child.
    • Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.
