You make it sound like Tip is throwing the kids under the bus. Is he really, though? The breakdown here is that
A) even if they might be physically and mentally capable of playing in the NHL, call-ups require time to make the adjustment, and
B) it sucks when you're one of those call-ups, and you make a mistake that costs your team;
all of which seems fair enough. It goes without saying that SOMETHING is critically, colossally, catastrophically wrong here, and maybe Tippett's approach is part of the problem, but I don't see how the above amounts to "bashing" anybody.
I agree, and I think what he meant was that they are a bunch of kids learning and they had no help.
