What coaches will be on the hot seat if their teams get knocked out in the first

[MXD]

All betting sites have Carbery winning by a mile. Evason would’ve been a great choice if CBJ had made the playoffs. As for Montgomery, it’s a bit weird to give the Jack Adams to a guy who got fired by another team this season.

That exactly what would make it great, no?
(I do think the award is going to Carbery)

If im Dallas id be dumping Deboer if they lose rd 1

Stars fans already turned against him because he had his first big losing streak in 3 seasons. Stars had never lost more than 2 in a row the entire time he's coached here up till the last 7 games of this season.

 

[Rob Brown]

There really aren't any 'obvious' candidates. I guess Bednar or DeBoer would be the most plausible but even then I could see them getting another shot.

 

[gary559]

I would not get rid of Deboer within the next year or two if I was Dallas.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Should happen, probably won't happen.

Nill has fired exactly 1 coach, it was Monty, and it was for off ice issues

I give him another season with Rantanen and a healthy Stars team. Nill finally getting the defense taken care of this offseason will improve as well.

 

[stats1]

Obvious one is DeBoer, other than that maybeeee Knoblauch? Other than that no one. Leafs aren’t getting rid of Berube any time soon,

 

[NVious]

I don't think Deboer should get dumped after this specific series, how can you honestly expect to win with your best and 3rd/4th best player missing. That's basically curtains unless you're the 1-2 seed playing a 7-8 team.

 

[M88K]

I give him another season with Rantanen and a healthy Stars team. Nill finally getting the defense taken care of this offseason will improve as well.

How do you think he's going to fix the defense? There's no good UFA blue liners this year.
And he's somehow got to get out of Lyubushkin and Dumba just to open spots to "fix" it.
He had opportunity to fix it this past year and he f***ed it up horribly

 

[brentashton]

With their injuries that gives him an out.

I would go the other way and say if Dallas manages to beat Colorado without Robertson and Hieskanen that should get Bednar fired

Ya, that’s not how it usually works. Although, Jim Nill is a gem and a great guy, so may be…

One would argue that playing Robo in that useless last game vs Preds, wherein he got hurt, was a bad coaching decision.

 

[Ignatius]

Do tell, now you've got me curious.

 

[gary559]

Do tell, now you've got me curious.

I think he can run a team and is one of the best at making adjustments, and that's what Dallas needs right now. Isn't he something like 6-0 in game sevens? Reminds me of Paul Maurice, he's been good for a long time but nobody will give him credit until he wins a cup.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

You have to imagine if the Canes lose to the Devils in the first round Brind'Amour is going to start getting questioned

Unless Rod gets into a massive disagreement with management or decides to leave on his own then he will be the coach of the Hurricanes. Losing in the first round to the Devils would suck obviously but I doubt his seat is even luke warm.

 

[Canovin]

Knob. In comes Quenneville.

 

[Cup Or Bust]

Watch Knoblauch get fired and then the Oilers add a d-man and goalie in the offseason.

 

[Avs2022]

If Bednar loses this series, he needs to be fired. Playing a cooked EJ over Malinksi, refusing to change the 2nd line when Necas was moved down to that line they started producing.

And playing Wood over and over when he just does the worst things ever.

 

[SavBigMoneyAtBedards]

Q is licking his chops right now and praying for a Dallas or Los Angeles win.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

K eep zone

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Travis Greene, Unless whining about the refereeing works out in his favour in game 2.

 

[LaCarriere]

Jared Bednar for sure.

Avs went all-in and a 1st round exist, regardless of the opponent, would be a colossal failure.

Dallas/Colorado is easily the toughest matchup in the first round. That should be a 3rd round series. I don't think it's fair either coaches job should be on the line

I couldn't believe it when Boston fired Montgomery but then he goes to the Blues and takes that team on a run right into the playoffs and looking strong while Boston kept sinking. Go back to letting Cassidy go and he goes and wins the cup....is there a mirror in the GM's house or office?

 

[Duffy13]

If the Avs want Crosby, they need to pry Sullivan away from the Pens, very weird dynamic there.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

As a Bruins fan with plenty of skin in the game, I am really hoping Knoblauch (would be very stupid) or Bednar (a little more understandable) gets canned.

 

[Emerald Duck]

Anaheim is watching and waiting for the first round exit carnage with interest.

 

[bouncesonly]

I pray Hiller is fired before Tuesday's game.
