imo supermatt18 unsurprisingly had the best criticism of Ward, but I think it also illustrates that the coach can only do so much with what they are given

-Pulls the playoffs MVP after a lucky goal that hit a stick and two legs to put in a goalie that hadn’t played a meaningful game since March 8th
- Dressed Zac Rinaldo for 3 games even though the team was outplayed drastically ever game he played in the playoffs, and removing him from the lineup is what turned the tide against the Jets
Honestly he’s not the reason they lose this series but he cost them tonight’s game. And it kills me because I think those guys on the ice actually gave it their all tonight up until the coach made one of the worst coaching decisions I’ve ever seen.
