If that were what Textcritic was actually doing, he would need to justify it. What he's saying is that a true evaluation of Sigalet's performance requires inside information which we haven't got, and in the absence of that information it's silly to get massively worked up about it. Which is right on the nose.
Incidentally—
One thing I see repeatedly offered as a criticism of Sigalet is that he never played in the NHL. I would be interested to see any valid argument why one has to be a former NHL player to be any good as an NHL coach. Bonus points to those who can explain why (just for example) Scotty Bowman, Mike Babcock, Ken Hitchcock, and Francois Allaire were bad coaches. Extra bonus to those who think they can persuade Brad Treliving and Bill Peters that they are unqualified for their current jobs because they never played in the NHL.
