Ahh yes appeal to authority, the classic irrefutable argument. Players change, expectations of players change. What worked back in LA might not work anymore. We’ve seen it more drastically in baseball with the demise of the hard*** coaches there but I think views of coaches in hockey has changed as well. If he’s not going to be able to motivate his stars or get fresh blood in this lineup those fourth line pluggers are not going to save him (or the team in general).
