I always thought Hynes was probably a transition coach and not necessarily a coach that would still be here when we seriously go to battle, unless he gets such good results that can't be ignored.Cant it be said that Hynes came in and established a sense of strong community among the locker room and also a sense of accountability... and now he can move on so we can focus on the on-ice issues more?
Sort of like Lamoriello going into NY... nobody is silly enough to think he is staying for a long time, the man is there to establish an actually competent system for the organization and provide stability and a sense of how a team should be run... but he wont be around when they need a GM to take them to the promise land/build for the future.
He's not gotten those such good results that can't be ignored, but he also has some bad luck going his way with the goalie situation. He also creates some of his own bad luck by how much he plays Greene and thinking he's still good. I have no love for Hynes, never have, never will. He's just a guy. I think we could do much better, but I think, especially at this time, we could do much worse. Especially if Shero calls up that other guy that used to coach in the area. I'll give you a hint, he's French, he's tan, he's got hair. God forbid he brings in another available coach, like another certain Hiney Head that's recently found himself out of work. Or that koala looking motherf***er that's a born loser head coach or Lloyd Christmas over on the bench standing right next to Hynes.
