Rick has done SO MUCH GOOD for this franchise. That's what hurts me the most with his brutal decisions this series. He aint coming back. He was away multiple times this season... What worries me, is now Arniel next up!? Almost certainly with his record replacing him (minus the very last stint...) Who replaces special teams? Is that enough of a change? Can Arnie do it?! I just dont see us passing on Arnie as head coach for atleast a season... Is that another wasted year?! God i hope not.

Rick Bowness doing Rick Bowness things in the 3rd period.

I had a thought about something Jordan said about building around Lowry for the series. I’ve always said they over value his skills and build minutes around him and 55 leaving not much for secondary scoring. They think he’s a poor mans version of Bergeron but he is closer to Kris Draper. Did Detroit build their entire team/roster around him and needing to get him 15-17 minutes a night. It sure felt like he did his usual mid December- March stone hands routine again. In short I think we can say that he’s back to being a 4th line center on a deep playoff team.

I think the area that was really exposed was the D, I was surprised that this group made it through the year, but when it really counted they just are not a top level D core. Keep JM and Samberg then rebuild from there 1. Pionk has to go, his play continues to deteriorate and cost the Jets in every game throughout the playoffs 2. Get out of the Schmidt contract 3. End the Stanley experiment 4. Get some of the prospects into the lineup, give them actual playing time and see what we have ( Villie, Capo, Salomonsson, etc ) 5. Maybe keep Demelo, and Dillion

Let's just say FLAWED SQUAD 🤷🏼😴
