I like Bednar, but assumed he would be fired after the season, due to missing the playoffs.
He's doing a solid job, but with success, comes problems. You'd think coaching would be easier with a better team...it's not.
This season is pretty much "do the best you can", and the second round is just a bonus.
Next season he will have expectations. The pressure will be turned up, and I can't imagine that Sakic would want anything less than the Avs competing for the division title.
Also, with a more complete, and successful roster, comes more difficult line up decisions.
To many good D? Well now a legit bottom 4 guy is going to be sitting, and he better choose wisely lol
He also won't have the luxury of letting players "work through" their slumps. Kerfoot isn't going to be able to score 1 goal in 25 games or whatever it was.
I think he can perform at this level, and I think he wants to perform at this level.
Obviously coaching is infinitely more complicated than the 2 examples I gave, but you get the point.
I'd extend him ASAP.
From the owners, to the coaches, to the players THIS season, there were expectations.
I certainly expected playoffs, and I 100% knew we'd be playing in them.
What I also expected and knew would happen 100% is make it into the second round of the playoffs .
That's called improvement. And we've done it , by blasting the top Western Conference team off the ice.
Anything from there is jam this year, and I'm just so elated for the club, players, but most importantly, you guys, the die hard and loyal fans, who've stuck solid after the disastrous 48 point season.
Everyone should be so proud .It's great to be a fan right now of this team.
