I can’t remember exactly when they did it, and I’m not looking for the quotes, but it definitely occurred. Now who knows if and when the system was re-complicated, but he did admit to some sort of a change.
Now I don’t think he ever said they abandoned the system, that is an exaggeration.
Doesn’t really matter, I can tell that your empassioned defence of all things coaching isn’t changing. And I can assure you that what you are saying is not going to affect any of the people who feel he has compromised the performance of this team.
You don’t understand why people find so much blame with the coaching, I can’t understand how you can choose to be so oblivious to it.
Hopefully the team can actually find some level of success after this year and we can all start to feel some more joy from watching this team again.

Probably because there’s no guarantee of any improvement with a new coach anyway as this team could just as easily tumble even further in the standings. This organization has seen the same consistent failures over the last 29 years with 14 different coaches, so my apologies for not believing that a new coach is going to change anything as history would be on my side.
If everyone is so adamant that a change needs to be made, then you had all better hope that it doesn’t turn out like the way it has for coaches like Claude Julien, Ken Hitchcock, Dan Bylsma, Todd McLellan and etc because these experienced and expensive coaches who have several Stanley Cups between them have done diddly squat to improve their respective teams.
