I like puck possession teams, and I like a team that generally outplays the opposition and we've been seeing that in the last 14 months.
However the special teams have been a mess, and he's ultimately the guy that can put a stop to that if a Dave Cameron isn't getting it done. Bad luck happens but not swapping sides for shooters or including Hamilton was insane.
I don't like his fourth line usage ... terrible times of the game. The third pairing used to be the same, but they improved the third pairing so it's less of an issue.
I really don't understand dressing Glass last night.
The big thing now though is culture, leadership and fragility.
The only way to fix those things is to move out your core, or add a leader. The leader can't be a fourth line player so it may have to come from a coaching change, and I get that.
But I'm with you; loser organizations hire and fire GMs and coaches too frequently.

I agree with this post is 100% where I am at when in a level headed mindset without the fan emotion of a loss.
