I think there’s no question they’ve played pretty poorly so I don’t think it’s just bad luck. I just also think it’s common sense that some of these offensive stats for our players aren’t going to hold.

Keefe did this weird thing today where he kinda threatened to split Matthews and Marner if things didn't get better soon.
I don't get why he makes it a bigger deal than it should be. Just like babs. Just split them up and see what happens and then put them back when needed. Everyone should be able to play with each other anyways. Give yourself more options, not fewer.

NHL coaches like rigid structure wherever possible. It makes decision making easier for them. Rigid lines over fluid lines, veterans over young players, etc.

yeah, that's the kind of guy you need here. people who look at it like that.

I dunno....some coaches love using line blenders to keep players on their toes, and as zeke aptly mentioned, give themselves more options going forward.
Given his latest retractions, It's possible Keefe doesn't have the nutsack to coach in this market, and/or is intimidated by star players.

The latter for sure he’s proven.

Yeah, that was baffling.
Line-shuffling the top-6 should be a regular thing that’s not a big deal. Even the best combos occasionally go stale.
Don’t understand how we basically ended up in a mirror image of the situation we had when Babcock was here. Babs would never play M&M together and now Keefe will never split them up.
Just dumb.

I think both Babs and Keefes rationale is the same, though opposite outcomes.
Its because they want to play together.

he's still making a bigger deal than it has to be...sounds like he doesn't want to deal with the million think pieces that would result from a short lived breakup. well, guess what, the think pieces are still being produced, and many of them will be aiming for his thick skull
