McDavid led Oilers forwards in TOI and had 0 points and was a -2. Hockey is a team sport, and you need good depth.
Around the NHL: Panthers win. Onto the business season!

It is pretty wild how far you can ride one specific strength of a team, but they always seems to get weeded out in the playoffs where these teams almost always succumb to their other weaknesses.

What is Rick Tocchet doing in Vancouver? Damn he must be a master at coaching.
And charging? Clearly there was something very aggressive about him just standing there
The first 2 periods of that game at least was reffed like a Sabres game on behalf of the Canucks. Completely let Oilers (esp McJ) slide on everything they whistled the Canucks for. Good on them to pull it out anyway.

The first of my "want them to lose" teams goes down: Carolina. Now we need Florida to beat Boston and NY, and the playoffs are complete.

I forget which coaching search .. but there were rumors about Tocchet to Buffalo and it was not received well here

Preparing PHASE TWO!
He hadn’t been good in other places. This is only his second time with a team over .500.

I actually thought he was pretty good in Arizona his teams were just dog water
He interviewed in Buffalo along with Housley if I recall correctly but went to Arizona instead. And then hired Phil as an assistant.
Somebody taking a page at a Scotty Bowman’s book I see. That also happened in Buffalo one year during one of the flyers series. Middle of the night.

I remember Dallas Stars were staying at a hotel by the water during the 99 Finals and boaters were blowing their horns all night long

Meh. I would’ve liked Berube as a hire but I don’t think he’s a gamebreaking coach. I think he’s about the same level as Lindy, Gallant, etc.
Same. He is different which they may need, but not impressed.

As someone that doesn't think coaching was the issue for TML, I feel it's a lateral move in terms of quality of coaching.
Berube is a guy that knows how to use his players. You give him a decent roster, he will be good enough to have a competitive team. But his message seems to get stale pretty quickly.

They don’t have goaltending and their defensemen are not strong. He is going to have some issues.
