I can have my opinion that is based on my experiences as not only a sports coach but also making a career out of managing people and training managers and based on that I see him as a below average coach and we deserve better. I have felt like this pretty much since day One and he has done nothing to prove me wrong.
Half the teams make the playoffs, if that’s your bar for him then that’s sad, we have a much better team than just making the playoffs, just not the coach to have success with.
In 2000 we tied the Kings 1-1
In 1996 we tied the Blues 2-2
In 1984 we beat the Penguins 9-5
In 1980 we tied the jets 3-3
In 1976 we lost to the Bruins 3-5
In 1972 we lost to the Red Wings 2-8
Bottom line, we suck on leap day.
