This team has a metric ton of problems all over the ice. But it never ceases to amaze me how such a large portion of the fanbase can channel the ire to one man behind the bench. Quite frankly, it's lazy.
i rarely fingerpoint. I am stupidly loyal and optimisitic about all our guys
But AV hasn't adapted a bit this season, no matter what he saw, or NYR did.
and his refusal to use McIlrath, to sit Boyle or Girardi (and I am not a G hater) occasionally, was just silly
he's gotten out of step with the current NHL
young unproven guys are helping their teams all over
SJ got first career NHL playoff goals from 3 different guys last night
Isles OT winner - from a guy with 2 career reg season games
Playing a regular shift on D for Panthers - a kid with 3 career NHL reg season games
he doesn't owe the veterans ice time, he owes them the best chance to win
anyway, as i wrote earlier,
AV was brought in to seal the deal during the Hank and Nash era,
in 3 seasons he (probably) hasn't.
I would welcome a change to different experienced, successful (at some significant level) coach
