All these calling for the head of the coach posts are brutal. We win and the same people aren't praising the coaching but if we lose it's all on the coaching? No I'm not trying to say we have the best coaching in the league but come on.
Nobody is telling Sean Monahan to skate around with his head in the clouds giving the puck away. No coach is telling Sam Bennett not to win a puck battle or skate back with a disgusting disconnected controller once he does lose the puck. No coach is telling Gio to fire the puck up to opposing forwards. No coach is telling Tkachuk to make no look passes to the empty boards or to fire it wide. No coach is telling Valamaki to cough up the puck like it's a hand grenade. No coach is telling Gaudreau to skate it into a wall of 3 guys on the PP.
This is an execution failure, bad choices by players. They need to shoulder most of the blame for that last game.
