85% approval rating of GM even though a 4 game losing streak with terrible losses. I fear ownership will panic and dump BT. That would be a big mistake.
85% approval is a huge vote of confidence for GM when you consider our critical the CP crowd can be.
The ongoing goalie debacle could not have been predicted.
The combined save percentage of Elliott and Johnson last year was 0.925. Hiller/Ramo before that was 0.917. Why both tandems have faultered so profoundly is so puzzling. Not sure if Sigalet deserves some heat. Perhaps we need a sports psychologist for our goalies since such a mental position.
BT does get some criticism for undervaluing passion in a head coach. My very big criticism in GG is no passion. Passion and enthusiasm was something Hartley had. GG seems to be a good tactician (PP and SH improvement this year) but he has much to learn to motivate pros. Even his rant tonite was unconvincing with regard to emotion.
