And I get that.
People that have moved on from this coach get jaded and he can't really win, we've all been there with issues or people in their lives.
But lets stop trying to convince the masses that it's anything else.

It is relatively common for people to let their own personal bias towards public figures cloud their judgement from time to time and this is the only reason I can see for you to ignore the fact that goalies are pulled every night in the NHL from Carey friggen Price to Brian Elliot when coaches feel like the team needs a shake-up or the goalie is just off.
If you don't think this was the case last night, what game were you watching? Trust me. No-one around here would have questioned pulling a goalie that is in full on sieve mode and just having an awful night with the game on the line. The coaches complete lack of response to do anything (again) to help stop the bleeding is pretty telling that he is running out of answers. Better break another stick I guess because this isn't just a team that is suffering from bad luck at this point. They have no confidence and they coaches inability to get the PP rolling is magnifying every negative issue that arises as the team has no wiggle room or margin for error.
