Time to start winning cups. No more excuses

 

[WreckingCrew]

Joy, another playoff implosion and we're not changing any staffing at all despite some glaring annual issue? Cool

 

[JustPenalties]

I have a lot of respect towards Rod and he's staff BUT... How many seasons have Canes had the same problems? Especially in the playoffs.. Honestly I am a surprised and confused about this decision, multi-year extension.. really? Yeah Canes will make it to playoffs and yeah this style of play hasnt really worked in the playoffs.

I would like to see this team playing more entertaining hockey... not this Rod's min-max-bullshit..

 

[Slapshottothehead]

Makes zero sense to bring back this entire staff. At least Daniels needed to go with consecutive playoffs of horrible pp sucesss....

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

It’s the definition of insanity at this point.

Completely what I expected, though. As much as I love Rod, he seems really stubborn in his ways and he always wants his assistants to be taken care of.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

LOL. a lot of whining for re-signing a coaching staff that's had the most sustained success in franchise history.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Damn, the crying.

Careful what y'all wish for. Wishes come true, not free.

The glaring annual issue is the one right in front of the Canes goal.

He cost us 1 game, the PP cost 1-3. We've also had different goalies over the years with similar results. He wasn't good, he was mostly meh, but the whole team largely failed at different times

 

[Borsig]

Andersen didn't make one game breaking save in the series. Not sorry.

With this roster you should be making exatly that and a lot of coaches would do just that.Year after year this team has had the same problems and under this staff things probably aren't changing. I sure hope that I am wrong.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Andersen didn't make one game breaking save in the series. Not sorry.

Ooof.
He out shesterkin in game 5 without one game breaking save?

He went toe to toe with shesty in game 2 without making a game breaking save?

The hyperbole is always strong

No team in 25+ years have won at last 1 round 6 straight seasons like this team has. This team is deep but lacks elite talent and elite goaltending. Expecting another coach to get more out of this team is a bit optimistic.

That’s what it all comes down to. Yes, we’re all unhappy about another short playoff run. Yes, there are obvious issues that need to be addressed and might not be if we run back with the same coaches.

But at the end of the day, what available coaches are out there that you honestly think could be more successful than Brindamour? Especially after literally every player mentioned how great of a coach he is in their exit interviews. Even guys that have every reason to dislike him (TonyD) talked about how Rod was a bright spot in his rough year.

I don't think it's so much Rod as the "support staff" that we're questioning not changing. Someone for the Xs & Os or who can slap Brindy when he continues starting Freddie or putting Burns at the point on the PP

Well, we have a goalie coach that Brindamour apparently relies on to determine who starts a game. I don’t think a different goalie coach would change that. It would change what our goalies would focus on, and that might be worth considering down the line. But as it stands right now, we don’t keep a goalie long enough to worry about adjusting the play style or technique they arrive with. Maybe PK can be that guy, and maybe we find a goalie coach that will be better suited for PK’s eccentric approach. But that’s counting your chickens before they hatch.

As far as an Xs and Os guy, I’ve got to imagine we have one of those already. For an organization that puts a lot of focus on analytics, I can’t imagine their coaching staff is entirely “heart” guys. And Rod was a player for over 20 years. He knows what a coaching staff is supposed to look like. So I don’t think there’s an obvious hole that’s somehow being overlooked.

This.

Saunamen buried Long Pile End Knob Wompers, then played 6 close games against Rongos. Figuring out why the PP was so unpowerful doesn't necessitate firing the entire coaching staff. Deciding whether to stick with Freddie or to bring back David Ayres doesn't constitute cleaning house.

 

[Kalv]

Hey guys!

Sorry that your season has ended.

I heard you guys also use 1on1 defensive system? If that's true, how well do you think it works for you or in general?

 

[Canes]

Smh should have brought back Kirk Muller

It’s fine, only knock may be that new players have an adjustment period, especially d-men. Could make the argument that in the playoffs it’s not as effective because all the teams are at their best and playing balls to the wall but in reality their special teams and goalies have been more at fault.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

~29:35

Friedman hears that the AC coach deals are 2 years and a +1, presumably a club option. Not bad security in the context of the league as a whole.

Talk is the Rod is doing “extremely well” for a coach that hasn’t won it all yet.

…

Keep the Dundon truthers in your thoughts today.

That's not how coaching hierarchy works. Assistants provide advice but it's the HC that has the final say.

 

[Chan790]

Even if the staff remains the same, good coaches and good teams make adjustments in response to events and circumstances.
