I don’t know about any coach, or even Ward, if he had had a better run up to this season. I do know they played how Hartley wanted, until they didn’t. They played how GG wanted, until they didn’t. They played a great style under Peters until they didn’t.
It doesn’t have to be the whole team to screw it up either. It doesn’t have to be intentional - I’m sure Johnny isn’t coached to work his way into the corner with the puck and he knows that isn’t where he wants to be. But sometimes habits are hard to break.
I’m all for a better coach and there are a few candidates if they want to come. But they’ve had 4 guys with years of NHL experience who can’t all have just gotten all those previous positions out of dumb luck. They must know something.
