Is Rod the Bod's job in danger?

[HockeyVirus]

Canes are currently sitting out of a playoff spot. Lots of different speculation out there but I will just mention his interview from the other night



"At this point I'm lost for words" is not a quote you want to hear your coach say. I can't remember hearing a coach admit they had no answer and keeping their job for long after. I know what he means to the Org and all of that, but is there a chance there is a change there?

 

[Rebels57]

I can see Carolina and Pittsburgh swapping coachs.

I've always wanted Brind'Amour in Philly, but Torts has a stranglehold on the organization right now.

 

[SomeDude]

For what it’s worth, I’d take a coach saying that over Mike Sullivan’s inexplicable being happy with how the team played every night they lose.

 

[Bone Density]

I like his brutal honesty and would gladly take him in NJ.

 

[Bizz]

Firing Brind'amour won't fix anything, the Canes have always been overrated mediocre garbage.

Carolina's problem is they care more about how their Corsi and xGF analytics rather than actual goals for.

Theres a reason they shoot from everywhere and look like analytical darlings only to get exposed in the playoffs.

So ? That's all a lot of people on here use to determine who's good and who isn't.

 

[Cheapshot]

Even if they end up bombing out the rest of the season they probably wait until next season to see if it was a one off.

 

[Coffey]

They got Slavin instead of McDavid, so that should be solving all their problems.

Because shooting from awful locations really drives that xG

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Canes wouldn’t fire Brind’amour. I think it would be more likely he steps down if he truly feels he’s lost the room.

I am not a fan of in-bench interview during the game. This is something where players do hear it live and be dismayed on that comments. I'd rather the coach kindly decline the interview during a game live.

I very much doubt they can decline. That's why they all do it. They have to.

 

[duckpuck]

Seems like a typical Bruce Boudreau scenario.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Tying the can to the coach when he's getting the worst goaltending in the league is strictly an Oiler thing to do but this is a copycat league so you never know.

The team isn't listening in the locker room and doing this to themselves. As long as the coach approaches it like Rod did here and call them out in a professional way right in front of them on national television, I'm with that. That's ok if the players get hurt feelings from it, that helps develop this thing called character that's kind of missing there.

Well the game was 5-0 at that point. They should already have been dismayed to the maximum, a soundbite from the coach shouldn't move the needle that much. Especially when it was 4-0 and you can surmise he lost his shit on them in the 1st INT.

 

[SEALBound]

Actually...yes.

Firing Rob is tough, though, considering what he meant to the franchise as a whole.

I do believe Carolina has a roster that BB could also excel with.

 

[EK392000]

I'd fire Keefe and hire Rod in a heartbeat

I mean, he was interviewed on the bench, mid game, with his team getting blown out. I dont think he meant, 'I'm at a loss as to how to coach this team any longer,' but simply, 'I can't believe how badly we're playing tonight. I dont know what to tell you.'

Question the team's record and how effective Brindamour is as a coach, but using one quote, mid game, when Brindamour is clearly frustrated and upset, as a sign that he has lost the room is rather disingenuous.

When you take as many as they do, it does.

 

[cptjeff]

LOL no. Some players are on very thin ice for sure (anyone want to trade for a really speedy high skill winger who refuses to protect the puck, forecheck or backcheck? Preference given to teams in cold and remote climates), but the biggest reason the Canes are struggling right now is that our #1 goalie has been taken out with a potentially career ending health issue.

I have never been sold on the Hurricanes as a legitimate Stanley Cup contender, even when they have earned tons of points in the regular season.

Aho is a good player, but you won't be winning a Stanley Cup if he is the leading offensive threat on your team.

With Carolina, I see a general lack of the top-end talent that a team needs in order to win the Stanley Cup.

Their structure will earn them points against non-playoff teams from October to April, but their lack of top-end talent gets exposed every playoffs.

Okay? And do you think that you get these "actual goals for" better by... not caring about xGF?

When they shoot from everywhere to inflate their analytics.

Yes.
