I don't think I can take 41 more games like this.
Also, Trotz hockey isn't looking too bad over in the Eastern Conference. 65 points!
Time to fire Laviolette. He hasn't shown any ability to adjust his "system". Teams figured out the Preds mid way thru last year and they've been reeling every since.
I don't think firing Lavi is the answer, but I certainly regret firing Trotz. I posted in Observations that Korn was a big loss, which is part of it as well.
Trotz wasn't getting it done here either. Yeah he's doing well in Washington now but he wasn't here.
Hutton wasn't at all the problem. I thought he played great. Getting shut out by Louis Domingue and the Coyotes is inexcusable.
The team not getting it done isn't necessarily all on Trotz. But I do agree hindsight is 20/20 and we felt like we needed a change at the time.
Have we had a consistent line this year or have we just been having different line ups this year?
Trotz had a long, long time to get it done here and didn't. Washington has a much better roster than us and games doing well. We'll see if he's able to make it out of the second round for the first time ever. That is his knock. also being let go can change a coach to change
Look at the roster he had though. I think Poile bringing in Lavi helped him understand he needed a real roster to take the team beyond the first round, but now the team is stuck in a really bad middleground of a trotz/lavi roster and its not working. It doesn't help that Rinne has played really poorly since the injury/mitch korn departure.
