For him to state that he lost his job simply because of a bad stretch after February is either disingenuous or clueless. The team got swept in the playoffs last season. Then the team under performed for most of this season. If it wasn't for one extended winning streak he may have been fired prior to February. Suggesting that making the playoffs and getting swept in the first round should be considered any type of success is erroneous.
Sorry Glen. You seem like a great guy but the reason you were fired is that you did a poor job coaching this team.

Or maybe he has a better read on what would have happened than a bunch of people not involved day to day?
The team got swept last year, but played better against the Ducks than two years before, IMO. It was Elliott that did them in last year - they were the better team in 3/4 games at least. If they'd made the POs they would have been playing better than the last month which, IMO is skewing some people's memories of the whole year.
