This game has so much read and react I don’t know how coaching could possibly ever be the biggest problem. To me, it always comes down to the players or possibly the GM who constructs the team and vision.
I just think this place has an addiction. An addiction to blame coaches and blame every aspect of what we believe is good coaching or bad coaching like we’re experts or something. Like how many more coaches will this team have to go through before this fanbase finally understands it’s not the coach?
Now I’ll be fair, a lot of fanbases do this, an example would be up North who’ve went through more coaches than we have and they’ve tried it all. Player’s coaches, veteran coaches, top prospect coached, hall of fame coaches, future hall of fame coaches and nothing. Absolutely no difference and a new coach here, wouldn’t make much of a difference either because unless they can strap on the skates and blow past defenders like McDavid can, they’re still just suits standing behind a bench.

This isn't an argument. What else is there to talk about on a forum after the game? There would only be 1 thread per day on game days - a PGT - and every single post would either be: "Yay, we won!", or "Dammit, we lost!". That's it.
If you don't agree with what is being said, then feel free to voice your opinions on why you don't agree (like much of the rest of your post), but posting that people shouldn't have an opinion on this because they are not professional coaches at or above the level of the coaches that are being critiqued, adds absolutely nothing of value.
