Pulled the goalie wayy too early in this game against the Blue Jackets when points are crucial and we get scored on. Terrible decision. Tired of the way this team is playing right now. Its time to get rid of Maurice and yes Francis. The power play is f**king pathetic.

This is what happens when your team is young. Inconsistency. We could very well hit another hot streak before the season is over. We are only 2 points back right now. We need San Jose to win tonight to keep us close.

Everyone needs to just relax and let the season unfold. We aren't out of it yet. We still have time.

I agree. It is stupid to get so fired up. The power play is pathetic, but I don't know if it has as much to do with the coaching as it does effort. We looked lazy all day, both even strength and on the PP. We couldn't get into the zone (outside of Staal's line) and I believe less than 50% of the problem is coaching and scheme. We look flat out lazy. Our first line is outstanding. Our second line is above average. After that, we dump, don't chase, therefore it is a turnover.

Bowman, Jussi, Staal, Stillman, and Skinner were the only guys on ice who seemed to play balls to the wall at all. So, that was good. The second goal Cam gave up was pure laziness. He didn't move at all. Just held his glove up and prayed. Move your body and at least get in front of it. You have defensive numbers.

Mo needs to go...I mean every time some lines start playing together well, he fugs them up and changes them. True, he is youngest coach to coach a 1000 games, but his record is right at 500.....means he is just an average coach. The Canes have a lot of talent and should be playing better than what they are. Power play is gawd awful.

Oh and not playing inspired should be a reflection of the coaching staff.

IDK what Mo is thinking with changing good lines, but the facts are this:

-PP sucks, we all know.

-PK is average at best.

-Effort is NOT 100%. We have a few that are all out every game (Staal, Sutter, Stillman, just to name a few). Need full effort from all 18.

-Ward/defense isn't consistent. Either Ward lets weak shots by or the defense in front of him has an untimely line change or they skate themselves out of position at least 3 times a game.

Now, a large portion of that is coaching. And I will agree, the changing of good lines gets old. Real old. But I have to think there is a method to his madness. Maybe trying everything out before the playoffs to see different guys together. No, this isn't the time to do that. It is too close to playoff time and we're not guaranteed a spot, but he knows as well as we all do we have the talent to do it. I think Mo is a good coach, he just doesn't do things in a timely fashion. Rutherford needs to sit down with him and Francis at the end of the season and lay down the law. Win the damn division! We're every bit as good as Washington, if not better. We could be leading the Eastern right now with our talent. Every time I watch NHL Overtime I have to hear about the damn Caps.

    • According to multiple players and staffers in the locker room, some players were asking why Eberflus didn’t call a timeout. Other players got going, too. “Guys were furious,” a staff member said. “It was an accumulation of this season.” “The locker room was ugly,” another staffer said. “There was a lot of yelling.” Said the first player: “We felt as players it’s been too many instances where we fought our way back into games to lose because of bad time management and decision-making.” Multiple sources added that the emotions were so high between the players and their head coach that Eberflus left the locker room immediately after his speech and the exchange with players. There was nothing left to say. It was a moment for this Bears team that would inevitably force chairman George McCaskey into something the franchise had never done before. By Friday morning, Eberflus was out — but not before the team decided to have him address the media over Zoom just after 9 a.m. Two hours later, he was gone. The Bears made it official by sharing statements from general manager Ryan Poles and president/CEO Kevin Warren.
    • You take all this stuff too personally.  Learn to detach. Lol or don't. It's up to you. People don't have the same appreciation or longing for him you seem to have. For me, I just don't understand it. Basically a footnote in Panthers history. Go ahead if you feel he needs it or you need it, but most apparently just don't know why it's such a big deal. Comparing him to guys like kuechly or cam is kind of weak. Those guys made a huge impact on the franchise. Wilks was just a guy we had as a DC a couple times and got him to be an interim. Mildly interesting, but not much more than that as time goes on.
    • @adamjahns   In Detroit, Bears players finally had enough. The locker room was an ugly scene. Players yelled back at their head coach — and he left. The inside story on the final days of Matt Eberflus and where he lost his team.  https://x.com/adamjahns/status/1862848299981541516
