Not going to waste time getting into a back-and-forth here because obviously your mind is made up, but yes, he obviously is the biggest problem right now.
He’s the one choosing to use Mac as his #3 and on the top PK. He had other options, this was his choice. Just like he chose to replace Gudas with an inferior defensemen. He could use Mac on the bottom pair and limit the damage he can do, but he obviously loves the guy. And it’s choices like this that are doing the most damage to this team.
As long as he’s here, we’ll continue to see the same mistakes made and they’ll continue to lose us games, like last night. Every year teams are fighting to make the playoffs by a matter of one or two points... There are no unimportant games. None.
Let's pretend he made all the right choices you believe he should make (which I assume is to replace Mac with Sanheim, or keep Gudas in over Folin all year -- mind you, I don't necessarily disagree with either).
Realistically, what do you believe our potential is? A lot better (than with Hak's goofy roster decisions)?
My point is: I do not believe we would be sniffing real contention even if Hak made every correct decision (which is unheard of -- even Belicheck screws up). This is what stops my blood pressure from rising watching the team -- also I have confidence that Hak's days are numbered (and always have been), so that helps.
Also: I never said a loss is unimportant -- I'm pointing out that we shouldn't end it all because of a loss two games into the season. I know blah blah it's been going on for years...well, Hak's made the playoffs more often than not with a team that was very flawed despite his stupid decision-making. His teams have had moderate success regardless of a loss like this one and I can say that we didn't lose those two playoff series because of Hak, but instead because we were flat-out outplayed by much better talent. Statistically, there's plenty of hope for the playoffs and for the team to change/evolve. Let's wait till the last month of the season before we end it all, aight
