Geoff Ward is the worst coaching hire this organization has made.
God I would have loved to have seen this team with a good coach just once before this roster’s cycle comes to a close, but that hope is gone.
Also, the forward depth is complete junk - so that’s on Tree, as is the Ward hire.

Out of thanks so I'll quote this and say thanks.
Most disappointing piece for me during the Treliving era has been the 0 for 3 on coaching hires. I don't know if it's him or the organization being unwilling to sign an upper tier proven coach, but either way, what you're seeing tonight is what you get.
I get that it's on the players too, but the system being used isn't working. Players look lost, slow, don't know where to go with the puck. Very broken right now.
I actually like Treliving quite a bit, but 0 for 3 on coaching hires is a critical shortcoming.
Too bad. Great start from Monahan and Gaudraeu, finally have a legitimate goalie, Tanev and Hanifin a revelation, but no coaching.
