Beyond the fact that it is highly unlikely we have good enough hockey minds to outcoach an NHL coach (regardless of how bad you think he might be), CP as a medium limits how good of an analysis can be done. I think at most I've seen some people post screenshots of plays and regardless of how good the analysis is, that's just not sufficient to provide quality analysis that proves that GG sucks as a coach.
That's not to say that there isn't good analysis on CP but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Some good internet hockey chat is a long way from claiming we have better NHL coaches on CP than the actual NHL coaches.

The point I was making is that it is predictable and easily analyzed. Items raised by several members here that were finally implemented were highly successful (removing Brouwer from the power play, using Gio & Hamilton instead of Brodie). It is understood that there is a substantial difference between professional coaches and scouts versus the CP braintrust, but to suggest that fans cannot pick up on unsuccessful tendencies of our team (e.g. zone entries for the PP) and mis-use of players is also misleading.
WildGM (I have typed Jiri about 10 times in my last 2 posts) made the argument that CPs arguments are based on anecdotal evidence, hearsay and narratives. My counter point is that this is not true and some posters have taken the time to put together thoughtful and data based responses.
