If Trotz was the better coach then why couldn't he figure out a way to shutdown one player?vic wrote:If it weren't for Kesler in round 2, Nashville probably beats the Canucks. Barry Trotz was the better coach that series.
Make a coaching change at that point and perhaps we don't even make the Cup finals. AV was a key factor in beating the Sharks by your own admission, it's very possible that "New Coach" doesn't figure out the Sharks and the stantion works against us.vic wrote: Like I said earlier, coaching change should have been made after the 2nd series loss to CHI in 2010.
If Thomas played like he did from game 7 in that series through the Cup finals it wouldn't have been close, Tampa wouldn't have gotten it to seven. And again, we were hobbled in the finals as well as against the Kings last year.vic wrote: After seeing how TB exposed the Bruin's defense and goal tending to the tune of ~22 goals in the previous round, AV's system managed to expose it for 8 goals in the final - great, the team made it to the final got outworked and outplayed by a healthier team, this team has what it takes...then 2011 happens and (here comes the broken record), he admits to not being prepared to face the Kings.
A change to the core group I can agree to, but I think Luongo being moved would more than suffice. And even then, unless the return will help us now I wouldn't do it till the offseason.vic wrote: I just think it's finally time for a change at the coaching level (or a change in the core group) to put this team over the top.
Fuck that, there's no asterix on the Devils 1995 Cup win.rats19 wrote: its really gonna upset the applecart when we win the cup during an asterisked year then...

Meh, they don't count. They should have an asterix because Otto kicked it in!rats19 wrote: thats in joisey....but there most certainly will be an * when we win..if no where else ...calpuke
Or the team finishes CHI in 4 or 5 games and the Preds at home in game 5, thereby reducing the amount of travel and risk of injury to the players. it's all what if this and what if that now so it doesn't really matter now.Aaronp18 wrote:

Those new acquisitions in a Luongo trade will also need to get accustomed to the system, which means it's best to hold off until the off season to move Lou - at least we agree there.Aaronp18 wrote: A change to the core group I can agree to, but I think Luongo being moved would more than suffice.

I don't see the reasoning behind canning AV. Change for the sake of change isn't the answer. IMO the most important factors this season are to get the new additions accustomed to our system and the biggest factor is staying healthy!!

They can go fuck their 10 gallon hats and talk about how many pieces they are away from a return to the Cup final.
That was my point.vic wrote: it's all what if this and what if that now so it doesn't really matter now.
I was addressing the masses initially, which I guess you are included, that feel AV needs to go. I just don't agree, and that's fine, it'll be pretty boring if everyone agrees all the time.vic wrote: A couple of people posted they didn't think AV could get it done, I agreed and then it all blew up in my face.
