And they just forgot how to coach or something? Hartley won the Jack Adams in 2015 for crying out loud. Too many people here are focused on coaching when these guys aren't even on the ice. 14 coaches we've had and virtually no difference in results. The same 1st round exits and middling finishes.
Like I said, this isn't even a problem that's exclusive to this team. Look up north, they've gone through the same coaching carousel that we've gone through. I'm convinced that fans in general are just irrational when it comes to coaching. You watch your team in a bubble and pick apart every mistake when every other coach in the league makes the same mistakes. You'd think that Chicago and New York fans would be singing the praises of historically good coaches like Quenneville and Vignault, yet they can't wait to fire these guys.
These guys aren't even on the ice, it's nuts. People really need to stop dwelling on the coaches so much and put more onus on the players who actually play the game. 5000+ replies and nearly 300,000 views on the main page just talking about firing the coach? That's just embarrassing and ridiculous to me.
