What sort of "facts" would satisfy your burden of proof in this instance?
I would tend to agree with abstaining from blaming goalie coaches for a goaltenders shortcomings in instances where there is nothing more than correlation from which to draw. But in the case of Lack, there is actually a clear demonstration of change in tactics that also corresponds to a dramatic reduction of positive results.
I am curious as to why you discount the alteration to his game that he experienced under David Marcoux as a viable explanation for his poorer performance in Carolina.

So you are stating its a fact that his poor play in Carolina is due to his goalie coach, or that it's a theory? My instinct is that a good goalie wouldn't be ruined by a bad goalie coach. Kind of like how bad hitting coaches generally don't ruin good hitters.
But I hope you're right TC. Admire your optimism.
