First off…Coventry deserved the win. Someone posted they weren’t that good, a bit unfair I think but it has also to be said that they didn’t have to be that good to beat our underperforming lot last night. It’s hard to judge from watching a stream game but the impression I got last night was of players just not putting the usual effort in that we have come to expect from our team. As for Skalde…well he can get as irate as he wants during an interview, but I hold him totally responsible for the on ice effort we have witnessed from the start of season until now. He just does not inspire me as a fan and I don’t think the players - many of whom have shown they can play a bit - believe in his tactics / game plans etc.
give me some of the old style no nonsense D men who opponents used to be wary of, we just don’t have that at this time.
It won’t happen, but I wouldn’t be unhappy if Skalde’s contract was terminated and we hand the reins over to Franny for the rest of the season, he certainly couldn’t do any worse, it would save money and I would imagine the players would then respond accordingly and put in what we all want to see, a 100% effort from everyone in every game, win or lose that would satisfy me.
