This'd be a better argument if his team was outplaying teams on a regular basis and playing sound hockey. Instead they usually win games on their talent and play a questionable defensive system that's been heavily criticized.Here is a perspective I believe is true: Randy Carlyle has done as much as any coach could with this particular group of players that Burke and Nonis have assembled. He had them slightly overachieve all season until now, when they have finally regressed to the their true level as now shown in the standings. Carlyle had only delayed the inevitable.
...and yes, I'm sober.
