We are at the 14th game mark now and at 5-7-1. Pulling up
Hayne's article from Oct, where he looks at both Stanley Cup finalist teams last year, who both got new coaches:
Quote:
After taking over behind the Penguins bench on December 12, his record in his first 17 games was a very pedestrian 6-7-4. But after close to six weeks on the job, the team turned the corner and over the final three months of the regular season, they went 27-9-1 under his guidance for a blazing .743 point percentage (defined as points achieved divided by points available).
Taking over prior to the season for longtime skipper Todd McClellan, the Sharks record on Remembrance Day was a very ho-hum 7-8-0. But similar to what happened in Pittsburgh, the team settled in under the new coach, became comfortable with the changes he introduced, and they went an impressive 39-22-6 over the remainder of the regular season.

Still a bit of a time to feel things out, but they'd better get figured out in a hurry.
