Unfortunately Maurice has more excuses for this loss. To be fair, No Ehlers or Lowsy.
His fault, though, for 'wanting to see how Benn looks against Edmonton', but then also sending Heinola down and not playing Stanley when both are better than Benn and Poolman, and Forbort needed a break, too - but he's a tiny step above Poolman at least.
I'm convinced Mo is unable to pattern-recognize - he is better at seeing the obvious, immediate stuff, and then talking hockey talk and image management. He has minimal strategic capability. People of his type may occasionally see a pattern they think is solid, and they'll run with that one pattern stubbornly and won't really be open to other suggestions.
I don't see him getting fired unless we're healthy in the playoffs and we lose in 4 or 5 games. He's too good at schmoozing the owner.
So you're saying... ?
Po' Mo' is Pavlov's Dog...
