personally, i think Horacheck is useless.
this was not a good/great team at all, however, have the talent to be a middle of the pack, playoff bubble team. They have decent offensive pieces, an avg d, and decent goaltending on most nights. They had a great run of 10 wins in a row this season, and while leading the league in goals, were right there in 8th spot. Granted the team wasn't playing a corsi/stat friendly game, carlyle was keeping them relatively competitive. they fire the coach, and leave it to some inexperienced guys behind the bench, and the team completely unravels. All offense lost, the locker room seems completely lost, even more TO media scrutiny on the core of this team, which has proven they already can't handle the pressure playing/leading the team in this town.
i personally think the carlyle firing was idiotic by shanahan & co. i also love that they go out and get a guy to be the president who has zero team management experience whatsoever.
