They actually play better on home ice but the goaltending is better away from home.
I've said this about a dozen times so I know it won't gain any traction, but if a coach has a team out playing their opposition more often than not, then I have a tough time blaming him for results.
Now the PP I get.
As much as the unit was top ten last year, it was very strange to not try Dougie Hamilton and Matthew Tkachuk earlier.

As a fan I think what it comes down to for me is I have way more invested in the roster than I do the coach.
I am happy BT did not trade core players at the deadline. I'm still bullish on the kids and think the solutions to all the organization's gaps are in the system.
And looking to the offseason I'd rather see BT upgrade coaches versus trading Brodie and or Bennett. Maybe GG can get new assistants to run special teams with strong urging from BT. IDK
