You get to make 2 moves to save the season - what do you do? Who stays? Who goes?

Solid Import Defenceman
A whole heap of off-ice stuff.

Invest a good chunk of change on some scientists to invent some form of miracle spray for Wiikman... Hand's down the best netminder in the league when fully healthy.
But in all seriousness, a solid stay at home left shot dman is required (they don't have to be big). Waugh is a lot more adventurous than I imagined he would be so this wasn't as big an issue for me initially as I thought we had our solid stay at home guy along with Schmidt.
The 2nd move I would make is handing the powerplay over to Ling & Moran (Brad not Gary), this has cost us countless games and I have no doubt that if those 2 put their minds together they would figure something out to get it somewhat lukewarm rather than ice cold.

Bring in defencenen and a spare import skater.
Make an executive order to coaching staff that line mixing has to stop.

1. The players need to continue showing the same fight, spirit and effort until the death, same as we saw this weekend just gone
2. Sign a defenceman who will sure up our defence

Gas Larry, sign 2 yes 2 stay at home D men and put Mosey back on the forward line. So you want to gas a point a game forward and move the only defenceman we have who naturally can transition the team from defence to offence up front in favour of 2 stay at home d men? |

Release Lacho and use the money for at least one, stay at home D man.
Stop the constant line changing and let players, especially Janssen, play to their strengths.

I would probably go one further and give Moran and Ling the dressing room until the end of the season. Maybe a little drastic (and most likely will never happen) but I very much see it as a no loose situation now. ............ and a GOOD import defender is a must!! |

So you want to gas a point a game forward and move the only defenceman we have who naturally can transition the team from defence to offence up front in favour of 2 stay at home d men? Panther are shipping goal like crazy over 50 goal since the start of December more than 3 goal a game average!!!!!!! How many of those games where when we had Green or a not 100% Wiikman in goal? I may not have been in as much uproar as most where about the goalie situation (I do, however, concede it wasn't ideal) but that is a factor in the increased goals against. A lot of the time we are getting punished for stupid/sloppy individual mistakes our players are making, take Belfast's 2nd goal on Friday as an example: Lee was messing around with the puck rather than just chipping it back up the boards and he got caught in possesion. Or the 1st goal Belfast scored where Schmidt and Lee where asleep and not alert to what Walser was doing when he smashed the puck down ice. Moving our most consistent player from defence to offence now is not the answer, due to the fact it's Mosey it would also severly hamper our ability to enter the offensive zone (something we struggle at at the best of times). I do think we need a left shot import defenceman, sadly that would have to lead to reduced icetime for Lee & Swindlehurst. |

I imagine Moran to be more inclined on the coaching side of things than Ling (just seems more the type, could be totally wrong mind you)... But can you imagine the fun we'd have with Ling in charge even if it was just for 2 weeks?! |

Ok, one for the armchair GMs here. You get to make 2 moves to save the season - what do you do? Who stays? Who goes? 1. Fly to North Korea & gain their trust to infiltrate their military network eventually overpowering the current dictatorship & forming my own government. Should take a few weeks. 2. Blow up the whole of Western Europe. |

The more important question though is does he know anything about ice hockey? I mean he'll probably tell us he does, but would you take his word for it? |

1 - Give Janssen the captaincy and let him play the way he should
2 - Stop swapping lines
2a - Get rid of Lacho and bring in a solid D man
2b - Keep trying and entertaining

1. Get gospel back and coach him up to be a starting net minder to free up an import slot
2. reduce ice time for lacho, lee and swindlehurst and sign someone like Jason Beckett

They have won the Stankey Cup for the past 30 years running, alongside being World and Inter Galactic Champions at the same time. Kim Jong Gretzky is the most celebrated hockey player ever, so maybe get him as player coach. That's what it says on North Korea World News anyway. |

He has a Canadian haircut too but he would look even more of a pillock with a beard than most hockey players are ill advised to harvest. |

1. Sack Corey. Simply because I don't think any other coach could do any worse. Why not gamble that results might get better. Close to being too late now though.
2. Appoint any other coach in the world of hockey. They will stick to consistant lines and re engage the players.
