No easy answers, but I don’t feel Earth shattering moves will happen between now and the summer.

I don’t agree that Nash is the answer, but since he refused to look at system as needing an overhaul, he’s kind of left himself with no choices. If he refuses to do something now, he’ll have compounded another mistake onto the ones he’s already made.

Wish he’d of made an entire system overhaul, and not left it as a talent issue. Since it’s not working, the only move he has left is to try to improve the team is to adjust the talent. St.Louis didn’t make any player changes till system was addressed. Even the Ducks have revamped their system to be more committed to defense. Hell! even the Pittsbugh Penguins changed coaches in February, and won a cup with a complete overhual on system.

Kings are one of the few teams in the league that will fire a coach, then try to make his system (which was failing in every area of the game offensively) work with a different coach. It’s like he hasn’t been watching the Kings play or something.

Sadly, I just don’t think he cares enough to give the effort must clubs demand. I think he’s happy and rich and he’ll do it his way or no way.

I hope. Either that or it’s written by a bitter old cronie (you know, like Don Cherry) who wants hockey players to attempt shots in shootouts the same way over and over again. Because that’s exciting.

I’m glad I checked this though because otherwise I wouldn’t have seen the goal Omark scored for Sweden. That was ridiculous.
