Coaching and management changes around the league

[Guilt Trip]

That looks like maybe a pretty tough rebuilt there for the habs...lots of long term money, and not much as far as marketable assets to bring a return.

But they have every inch of 5'6" Caufield as their star centerpiece. 

First move should be to send him to Laval. I like the kid but he doesn't belong in that mess.

He also hasn?t been particularly good this season, and could use more time to develop.

That's a given.

As hilarious as it is, and as correct as we were saying the Habs run was all smoke and mirrors, it's still pathetic that the Leafs lost to this team that had no business being in the series with them.

I think the lesson to take from the Habs playoff run(and Islanders and Senators before them) is weird, random stuff can happen in the playoffs. You can say it's pathetic if you want because the Leafs had them on ropes but isn't the implication there that it would somehow be less pathetic if the Leafs had been beaten by the Habs in 5 or 6 like the Knights? Or swept like the Jets?

If you're not first you're last.

The draft order disagrees with you.

Well, then they can take that up with Ricky Bobby's father.

This comes before any announcement of the incumbent being relieved of duties.

Also Vancouver going after former Leafs to coach lol

Kind of not surprising the Canucks shakeup is coming out even messier than their on-ice product

Well worth watching.

Good for Boudreau. For all the re-hiring that often happens in the NHL world I was always surprised him and Claude Julien had managed to stay unemployed for as long as they had (granted some of that may have been their own choice possibly). I think he's in a tough spot with Vancouver obviously but to their credit he is being given a pretty decent forward group to work with. Getting Elias Pettersson, who is having just a god awful season right now, back up to speed will be priority #1.

Was reminded of this post from when the Leafs played Philly a little less than a month ago:

Didn't realize but on paper the Flyers have a pretty good team.

On the ice, they're getting caved in by most possession, expected goals, and scoring chance metrics. They're being propped up by Hart's goaltending. If he regresses in any significant way, they're going to sink like a stone. They are not a good team. They're a poor team with good goaltending.

At that point they started the season 6-2-2 and Hart's Sv% was at .926 while Martin Jones' was at .950 in 3 games.

Since that post they've gone 2-8-2, Carter Hart has a .897 Sv% and 3.46 GAA and Martin Jones has a .897 Sv% and 3.77 GAA.

So Vancouver hired a new coach before hiring anew GM?

I should get more involved in prognosticating. ;D
