AGREED! Butch needs to stand up, reach in his pants, find his ***** and man the **** up! Not going to bat for your players
earns nothing. The best coaches develop an attitude with his troops: "it's us against the world boys, they aren't going to give us a break and I'm not going to lie down and shut up!" It's something that Don Cherry cultivated with his players, and it almost got them a Stanley Cup.
Judging by the way the team has performed in his tenure (dealing with a shit ton of injuries constantly, making comebacks on a regular basis), I'd say the attitude that Cassidy has developed with his players (which we really can't know exactly how things are) is pretty good
