No mistake. I am ALL for firing the coaching staff and hiring new (guess we kind of have to keep Lowry around - that would be awkward).OK, but I still think that is the wrong focus. Team needs a shakeup, not a little tinkering with the 4th line.
We have had plenty of player turnover over the years, but the coaching has been stagnant. It is time to try something different there.
Everyone talks about how bad a coach Claude Noel was and his inability to get another high level coaching job reinforces that. But considering the difference in the rosters between Noel and Maurice, I think Noel got better results - and that should speak volumes.
I wanted Trotz. Or Gallant. Or Boudreau. I was on board with hiring the Finnish National team coach. Heck if it weren't for key RFA Dubois I would love to see Tortorella.
