Grateful:
You ask a good question. I'd say the GM and staff have to provide the clay to mold, and the coaching staff does the molding. Coaching can probably do so much. I think FD is correct--this is probably not that talented a squad. Torts can exhort, berate, whatever. But he can't perform miracles. Some of the youngins may have upside. But right now, they've been fairly silent and we are giving up about four goals a game. It may be that Torts can only do so much with this clay.
It's ironic that part of our goaltending solution may be a dude drafted nearly a decade ago by a GM dismissed November of 2018. That is quite a separation between the clay provider and the clay molder.
Per the earlier post, I think the author is suggesting that accountability holds for the players and the coach. As I said before, Marsh was candid about the PP. Torts doesn't like critical questions from the reporters. I would respect him if he said something like, "I know our PP has problems and I am calling in Mr. X for a new set of eyes to diagnose and fix it." But I doubt that will happen.
