On most teams, he would be fired, the GM wouldn't trust the coach for what come next time.
But on this team, he will be excused by blaming the young players (the "it's a young team excuse" is a blame) despite him overplaying his vets. They are going to turn a blind eye to him not maximizing his chance to win by playing fresh legs to replace clearly tired players, all those 1st period starts 10-20 minutes late and their failure to play for 60 minutes. Laval is younger and they have no issue starting on time most games...
Half the team (8F, 3D) are in their early prime (25+) to being over 30 years old. When they blame a loss on "young team", they are blaming the players with the lowest TOI - except for Slaf/CC - on the team.
And the Evans/Dvorak/Matheson OT start reeks of Julien on his last leg. I can undestand sending your best faceoff guy, but these 3 players aren't good at re-gaining possession if they don't win a faceoff.
