Management John Hynes

[north21]

So we have had better teams then him? Twice we have been 2nd in west and maybe had a chance to be a legit team those two years, no actual sustained winning like many cup teams often repeat. Sure we can pray about cup runs but it's not realistic even with the best coaching.

 

[AKL]

I know coaching can make or break some things but at the same time does our coaching get a whole lot better if we had a legit 2nd line?

Does the team get better and mask bad coaching more? Yes.
Does coaching get better? No.

This is why we don’t deserve nice things

This guy is a career 6-19 in playoff games. Regular season record is 363 W- 383 L. Never finished higher than 4th in 11 years of coaching in the NHL.

Is this the best we can do?

Our past couple GM's have a love of mediocrity when it comes to coaching.

Evason has done very well in Columbus, despite being handed an undermanned team. Still has better stats than Hynes.

Boudreau was the last coach of any stature, and Guerin couldn't wait to get rid of him. For all the criticism of Boudreau's playoff record, it's miles better than Hynes's(and Evason's) as is his regular season record.

The coaching hires(and fires) are on Guerin. I think he gets one more fire and hire, then it's his turn to go.

I was sad they let BB go, timing of it didn’t make sense either. The team was actually on a bit of a roll when they let him go if I’m not mistaken.

He (BB) is SUCH a good coach that he's currently employed and succeeding as the head coach of the.... oh wait. He's not coaching. For people that are tired of the first round exits, you seem to speak very highly of someone that gave us numerous one and dones.

Evason started out hot with us as well. In the subsequent seasons, the teams performance got worse.

Re: Hynes - he's an above average coach. Has his faults but does have the team playing better than most would expect imho.

I seem to recall BB criticizing a player who was a BG acquisition, or implying that he had to play him over others because of pressure from above. Still think that is an issue.

Two is not numerous.

Hynes did a good job of getting through the regular season with injuries, but his playoff lineup choices were extremely questionable. I also think it’s odd how much this team struggled at home versus the road. It was almost like Hynes was a detriment when he was the one that got to pick matchups.

I'm welcome to use hyperbole like the rest of you.

 

[f7ben]

I have no clue how Hynes could be considered above average by any measure and I also think a golden retriever could have provided a better result than he did in the post season by simply randomly shitting on a yard marked off full of marked off potential choices.

Hynes is absolute garbage

 

[AKL]

Some people: this is clearly the best team we've ever had, we're not far away from being Cup contenders

Also those people: Hynes is a good coach because he got this team all the way to the exact same spot that Evason and Boudreau got their [worse] teams

I would prefer it was his time to go now…

Hasn’t this been something Russo has hinted at on his podcast with Nyquist? Maybe it just him speculating about how Nyquist can be absolute dog doo doo, but he was stapled in the top 6 no matter what.

It's hard to know. Russo was clearly mystified about how Nyquist and Gaudreau, two guys who are clearly Guerin's choices, escaped demotion to the 4th line over Rossi.

It’s because at some point you can’t escape the fact that there is no merit based system of minutes and opportunity here. It’s jist another country club

Evason is doing well with an undermanned team, but the moment the team is expected to do anything, he will fail to get them anywhere.
I liked Bruce as a coach and thought it was complete BS when he was run out of town.
