I fear Vigneault's Ranger teams play a very Hartely-esque style, at least from what I've seen from Ranger fans and his underlying numbers.
But the Peters thing is odd too ... you replace one of two coaches that managed to miss the playoffs with numbers that would suggest otherwise with another ... but I do think Carolina stands out with their save percentage with Darling killing them.
On Treliving I certainly don't think you can hang decision paralysis on the man given the heat he's taking for moving picks, swapping goaltenders, and now potentially moving on to his third coach (one inherited).

Okay and that makes a degree of sense.
But lets use this comparison:
Our goaltenders totally failed last season. What did he do? Jettisoned them and got new ones.
Our coach has totally failed. What has he done? Why the thumb twiddling?
We all know why, because as coaches go so tend to GMs, but thats not necessarily the case here.
Honestly, I dont have a problem with analyzing things, but much like the jury is out on Gulutzan due to advanced stats that get analyzed over and over again sometimes you just have to make a call.
