When does ROD start getting criticized?

[BrookswasHere44]

They get annihilated every year in playoffs. When they get eliminated it's seemingly always 4-1 or 4-0

Reflect more on the leadership on that team to me

 

[Foppberg]

he’s working wonders with a fairly average roster.

 

[Forge]

As a non biased observer who's team just happens to need a new head coach, I think they should totally let him go

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Next playoffs. Game 7 maple leafs vs Bruins.

 

[ViD]

He gets them in the play offs and they win at least one round every time.

What is there to criticize ?

 

[Ezekial]

When he starts to actually be a bad hockey coach for his team.

Kneejerk 2024 buffoons need something to talk about

 

[Taluss]

Every game has been a 1 goal game this series. Technically Canes could be up 3-0rn if their pp did anything.

Gotta sort that out. How much blame do you put on him for that?

 

[EddieTheEagle]

I feel like this is the Carolina way. Get through one or two rounds, then outshoot their opponent like crazy but be ousted in 4 or 5 games. If they are getting bumped, it feels like it is usually lopsided despite them controlling a fair amount of game play. Been this way since 2019.

Not sure it is a Rod the Bod issue but I would love to see them go deeper.

 

[ijuka]

I mean, compare that roster to the teams' they lose to.

Take the Rangers. The F, D, and G all are stronger on Rangers. What can you do?

 

[WarriorofTime]

The rangers goaltender (Shesterkin) is just too good. Seems like nobody can beat him.

 

[dgibb10]

Igor shesterkin pitching a 0.960 lmao

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Starting to remind me of a modern Bruce Boudreau, fantastic regular season coach whose team's don't break through in the post season

It seems to be the same thing again though for Carolina, just enough fire power up front

 

[The Crypto Guy]

When he loses the bod.

 

[schnapshot]

Don’t think it’s Rod’s fault, that team just isn’t built for the playoffs.

 

[NickyFotiu]

He is a great coach. Why do some people always want to blame people? Is it his fault the NYR are getting better goaltending?

 

[Halakitlikethat]

It's hard to win in the playoffs

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

he will be heavily criticized by management at ownership's behest if he asks for too many dollars

 

[Gil Gunderson]

What else can he do?

 

[pcruz]

Yes


Let's hope the ownership blames Rod


Toronto is looking for a massive upgrade in the Head Coach position.

And subsequently, in every single other coaching position.

Leaf stars cried about Babcock, I don't think they could handle Brind'Amour.

 

[norrisnick]

What else can he do?

Devise a system that doesn't just fling bullshit low percentage shots from wherever the split second they have an open lane?

It'll get you by the bad and mediocre teams in the regular season, but that's not going to beat a team with defensive structure and a goaltender with a pulse...

 

[SoundAndFury]

Leaf stars cried about Babcock, I don't think they could handle Brind'Amour.

Plenty of evidence came out since that Babcock is an actual garbage human being, nothing like that can be said (as far as I know) about Rod. You are barking at the wrong tree.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Leaf stars cried about Babcock, I don't think they could handle Brind'Amour.

When did they do that?

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Leaf stars cried about Babcock, I don't think they could handle Brind'Amour.

Rod would ban Leafs players from doing the griddy and they’d all demand a trade out
