[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1066921, member: 17987"] I hope so too, but I'm not holding my breath on it. Don't get me wrong - I don't really put much stock at all in preseason matches, and I really like LaFleur overall - but this has been a longstanding criticism of his. Slow starts and a lack of intensity/focus/preparation are not exactly new. We're entering our 7th season (time flies!) with LaFleur as our HC, and it seems like every year these questions persist. Early in the season, coming off extra prep, heading into a big matchup...we just often seem to come out a bit flat-footed and lacking for urgency. Whether fair or not, I think for many (at least from the outside looking in), I think LaFleur has developed a bit of a reputation as a somewhat "soft" coach (Sounds harsh, but I don't know how else to describe it) and that is reflected in what often seems to be perceived as a "soft" team on the whole. And that's not supposed to be a doom-and-gloom, everything is terrible, fire LaFleur, we're winning nothing, fire everyone type of post...There are a lot of things we do very, very well and are in a better position than the majority of teams in the league. It's not like this is a week-in, week-out type of thing. But I guess I just get this sense that other teams often feel like if they can just come out and punch us in the mouth, we won't know how to handle that and/or how to recover from it. It would be nice in these situations if it felt like we were the ones coming out and doing the punching more often. As they say...in coaching, the stuff that happens under your watch - you're either encouraging it or you're allowing it. [/QUOTE]
