This is beyond Ward simply not being good enough. He makes decisions that either cost us games or prevent us from competing. We are worse for having him.
Leivo was useless all night. So Ward promotes him to the top line over better choices. He makes a terrible clear to give up the go ahead goal when he's on the ice with 5 minutes left in a tied game for no reason...so Ward puts him out as the extra attacker.
His system sucks, his player usage sucks. He can't read the flow of the game, or make an adjustment to save his life. His team is never prepared, and there seems to be zero accountability for anyone not named Dube.
These are the exact same problems as last year.
There is a reason Ward never got a sniff of a head coach job anywhere else. He's not good enough. Period.
