Fans thinking that coaches make a difference is funny. Trotz appears to be the only exception.

Someone says DeBoer is out there. They ran him out of San Jose. If we were San Jose fans we'd hate him. But he's the answer.

Until everyone figures out that it's 90 something percent personnel that determines results, these crazy coach theories will flourish.

Not as unimportant as in baseball, where the manager is literally worth zero.

Smartest post on this board in a year.

Yeah, I don’t know that the results (in the standings) per se should be all that different, but the performance on ice should be.

Why? We added Panarin, Trouba, Lemieux and Fox but lost Hayes, Zuccarello, Shattenkirk, and Namestnicov, and our goalie looks a year older, we have the youngest team in the league. I'd say we are what we were supposed to be right now, maybe a little better.
