Thought the offence looked a bit better than in Edmonton but not enough shots, no bounces, and playing against an actual NHL goalie.

Hindsight is great. They lost anyways, should’ve started the worse goalie.
Depends on their philosophy
Fact is Vladar faced tough opponents regularly. Wolf got something like 11 of 12 total starts against the 3 bottom teams in each conference and ran the tables
They didn’t shelter Vladar, Wolf got the gimmes, and that was basically the difference in their stats
Cooley has literally no history to suggest that he can help a bubble team be competitive with playoff teams
What do you do?
