#warso

You have not been head coach for four years. You were assistant coach for two and head coach for two. Don't act like you were in charge of development for four years and you've been soooooo patient when in reality you've been rushing shit since day one.

The bulk of your young core have been with you less than 1-2 years. You might have worked on development with the team in some capacity for 4 years, but it's unproductive and unfair to project that impatience on players who just got here. Players need more time to develop than that. On average it takes 3-5 years, actually. Stop shortcutting their growth so you can bask in the accolades of getting a team to a playoffs run they have no business being in.

For that matter, development requires ice time. Yes, even when they flail. Learning means letting them make mistakes and adjust without being immediately yanked off the play. You have to show trust in them so they start trusting their own game and understand which calculated risks to commit to.

Speaking of players who have been given leeway. Players that have been given chance after chance. Let's talk about the vets. And your apparent inability to see their role in puck mismanagement, sloppy turnovers, and unnecessary penalties. Because they play the kind of hockey you respect and understand more (hard! physical! grinding! heterosexual!!!!), you've decided you don't need to address their issues. They're vets! They've earned it by [checks notepad] losing so many games the Sharks won the lottery. Surely your lack of accountability with them could never lead to laziness or bad habits.

It's high time you start acting like a coach and make well thought , well practiced , when trained and well discussed decisions.

You are the coach . What you say goes...put your foot down and make tough calls and stick with them ....try every possible scenario with those decisions and give them time to play out.....if they don't work,,, then think about changing those decisions and trying new solutions.(All good things take time)

What you do is totally opposite ngl

You make erratic panicy line changes in middle of a stressful & a high stake game and expect your players to miraculously form new chemistry with people who they have not practiced with and that to in the middle of an ongoing game..... (Do your homework man, practices are the time to try new line changes and see if they work better or not.... experiment all you want but in practices only) because your method of try it in real time has never worked and will most likely not work.....it will always lead to more chaos and we have seen that happen time and again.

PS: if you don't want willmack on the same line( you give off that vibe because your reflex to a tanking game is to bench wsh and put mack on a completely new line) then please make sure you think through the new lines you want to try and make those changes and ensure that those new lines practice and build chemistry with each other and give them atleast a no. of games to gain experience and identify and resolve differences.

Have patience and trust your young players

Please trade or train new d -men, we desperately need them...

Please understand each of your player has a different way of playing (some more cerebral than physical)and have different areas they need to work on or strengthen.....so help them achieve that.

This will eventually help you only....you might make a well rounded team( instead of relying on one man army macky boy alone) and we never know a cup winning coach in the future.

Remember you have a young group, most of your players are in their 1st or 2nd or 3rd season of nhl ...give them ice time , patience , trust and teach them.Let then gain experience and confidence.

Reassure them and don't blame them.

Make your own decisions man and stand by them and please learn to take responsibility instead of throwing babies under the bus.

i saw a post either on here or twt last night saying that warso was chewing mack out on the bench. i couldn't rewind bc i was on an illegal stream. i wondered if it was for somerthing like this.
