In Amos, a small town of 10 000 populations where the cold weather and hockey is in the center of every conversation in all time.
The last game of the season is being played tonight and the team who is currently dead last in the conference. Fans want the head of the GM to fall for this bad season.
They are not wrong.
Injuries, the lack of chemistry and motivations was floating around the team all season.
It all started with a couple bad decisions the GMs has done.
The trade of Necas on November 6th, the trade of McCann and Schmaltz on November 27th.
You can add to that list Devon Toews, 4 first pick and more other important pieces.
Plus how unacceptable it is for a rebuilding team to trade upcoming superstar Frank Nazar?
This fanbase might be the best in the whole league when the team is winning but the toughest when the team is losing.
The small consolation for the fans is the chance to see Tim Stutzle, Quinton Byfield & Logan Cooley every night.
What’s left on defence? Sergachev, Trouba & Byram? This roster will need a lot of work and the fans a lot of patience to rebuild this mess.
The names of Connor Murphy, John Carlson, David Savard & Marc-Edouard Vlasic will mostly all end up in the Unrestrited agent’s market.
The goalie situation might be stable with Mrazek & Kochetkov. Hopefully prospect Jakub Dobes will continue to grow and become a solid #2 in a near future.
The off-season won’t be relaxing for sure. A lot of questions are still yet to answer:
Will the GM be back? Will Martin St-Louis still be the coach next season? Can the team bounce back from being this bad?
