eyvn Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Don't see Gillis firing AV until next season if the team goes on a drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tan Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Don't be so quick to judge... coaches have been fired for much less. 1st round exits are a very bad sign, a lengthy losing streak got Therrien fired less than a year after guiding the Pens to game 7 of the Finals. Terry Crisp was fired in Calgary one year after winning the cup, and bowing out to the Kings in the 1st round. The Flames were 2nd overall that year, and lost in 6 games. We are talking the President's Trophy winners having the most embarrassing defeat out of any President's Trophy winners ever. MG will have lots of conversations with the Aquilini's, AV, the captains and associates, and the goalies. And remember that the Aquilini's are hockey fans too, they see what we see. If they really want to see AV gone, they will pressure MG into firing him. Everyone involved has to consider the best option for the team moving forward. 1 year ago, there was only one way the team could have moved forward (winning the cup), and they took a significant step back. So they have to come up with a different strategy. Unfortunately, this is AV's failing point where the strategy stays the same whether they are up 3 or down 3. For that reason, he is the most likely to be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
