Well that’s a large reason why he didn’t last in St. Louis.
When he took over for Hitchcock, Allen played out of his mind and had an insane series vs the Wild to pretty much win it himself and then played fine vs Nashville in a loss.
2017-2018, Allen went back to Jekyll and Hyde. Defense didn’t play a strong system. Missed the POs.
2018-2019 defense/system was such a mess that it was hard to evaluate individual players before Yeo was fired.
AV is such a weird case, he's had Presidents' Trophy winning teams and SC Finalists and the fans still hate him. I guess Luongo and Lundqvist cover up his faults.
I get Vingeault wasn't working in Philly, but Yeo has to be one of the worst coaches of recent memory in this league. Trash in Minnesota, and then St. Louis wins the cup after he leaves.

Of course Yeo is the intern, they literally play tonight and like 3 other times over the next 6 days....I mean maybe Gritty could take over but.....Kinda need a body in there, even if its sad and lost.

His performance in Philly has vindicated every Rangers fan that was told our team just sucked and AV was a genius for taking us as far as he did.
The man singlehandedly lost playoff series because he wouldn't make minor adjustments.

As a Flyer fan, I embrace Yeo as it means they may actually give the next coach some serious thought, and it’ll almost certainly preserve a tank this season and high draft pick.

Hey if that's the mindset then congrats! Ya'll got your man for the job.
I still think that team is far too talented to give up on the season

They dug themselves too big of a whole. This is still a middling bubble playoff team even with a competent coach. As a Flyer fan, I’ve had enough of that middle of the pack mediocrity. Other changes need to happen this off-season and the new coach needs time to institute a coherent system.

Hopefully, Gorton is true to his words when he said he wanted to 'modernize the Montreal Canadiens', and stay far away from the recycling bin.

This is both heart warming and nauseating. I can't handle flyers and rangers fans being nice to each other. Can you guys flip each other off so everything feels normal again?
What an excellent day! Flyers fired one bad coach and immediately replaced him with one even worse.
Montreal fans have to be shitting themselves right now. No time to waste! Vigneault today, Therrien in 3 years and then on to Julien.

Sounds a lot like Paul Maurice and Peter Laviolette, both of whom have a lot of success and then get run out of town before having success elsewhere.
There are a bunch of coaches like this. Pretty much all of them TBH. In retrospect it usually comes down to “that roster was never going anywhere”.

is not that most NHL coaches though? There are very few that I can think of that last more than 5 years woth a team. 3-4 years seems like the avg shelf life of a coach
