What level of coaching are you offering this opinion from?

It's clear as day that GG, much like treliving, is not result driven in his decision making. That is, after all, why they were both hired. And if he is ever to be fired and tre gets to hire another coach, that coach will also be process driven.
And out of that comes rolling 4 lines, easing rookies in, not adjusting to a risky offensive style when down, all things that are maddening when looked at through the fan lens. But there is a reason to operate this way, and it is 100% organizational. When you call for a different coach for these reasons, you're really asking for a whole new hockey ops team.
I'm not saying it will work for sure, but these guys still have quite a bit of slack with me.
If they were to dramatise losses like some do here, including you at this very second, this team's mental strength would be terrible.
