@King Heffy Some people are just not that good at coaching at a higher level. WD has actually proven himself much more on the lower levels than Green has, but WD had only his first season as proof that he CAN be a good coach (It didn't happen though because we saw WD regress with his lineups, plus he played favourites). Green never had such a legacy, EVEN in the AHL. I don't understand where this love for Green is coming from. He was NEVER that good to begin with.

WD was not able to adapt to the NHL, and neither has Green. I would argue that Green has been worse at it. Green had been blessed with much better rosters than WD. Not a damn season has Green proven himself in any way.

I'm not sure if it was about trust, but rather, Green put too much stock in how we performed in the final 3 games against Vegas during the bubble (i.e. collapsing, giving up possession for superior positional play, trying to win on breakouts). In reality, it was Demko's 5 star performance that played a much bigger factor for us during that stretch.  

Green's conservative system not only stifled the creativity of our offensive players (i.e. Petey, Brock, Nate Schmidt, and OEL), but likely also contributed to Jake Virtanen falling off a cliff.

Green is a good guy but just isn't an NHL calibre coach.   

Although I was a fan of Benning throughout his entire tenure and supported most of his moves, his loyalty to Green was inexcusable.......and Benning needed to be fired as a result.  

Seems TG approached every moment like an effing poker game. His stone-faced, bluffing act eventually wore everyone down to sheer boredom.

There was no substance, or creativity there..just a 1-trick pony that should've been kiboshed 2 yrs back.
