No re bolded, I never said that.
My initial point is it should have never gotten to a point where the players
needed to tell him to change these things. I.E. He stuck to a failed experiment far too long.
The coach's job, at its core, is to bring ideas and strategies into the locker room to help the players succeed. If the only successful ideas are coming from the locker room(Backlund back to center, Johnny and Mony not playing with a career AHLer)... or from Injuries (Hanifin-Andersson) where's the value added?
