I don't know what is more weird:
Canning your coach so quickly after the trade deadline, in a season where many people assumed your team would be near the bottom of the standings and going to rebuild, and especially giving the coach a public vote of confidence on the same day
or
Hiring Marc Crawford to coach
It's a toss up. That's why bad teams stay bad - they make bad decisions on the management/coaching side of things, and it eventually trickles down to the product on the ice. In Ottawa's case, it trickles down from the owner, just like in Edmonton's case. They really are the Edmonton of the East lately, aren't they?
