I believe Sutter was wanting to retire and just work on his farm after leaving LA. I could be wrong though.
Most likely not. They'll just blame it on injuries. Even though Fabbri was the only significant injury outside of Schwartz.Army won’t fire Yeo this offseason so it doesn’t matter.
Eddy was out during the entire losing streak before the 6 game winning streak.Most likely not. They'll just blame it on injuries. Even though Fabbri was the only significant injury outside of Schwartz.
we still had a solid core. Injuries just aren't a good excuse for this collapseEddy was out during the entire losing streak before the 6 game winning streak.
I understand where you're coming from.we still had a solid core. Injuries just aren't a good excuse for this collapse
Explain..... are you saying he would be a worse option then Yeo?As a Preds fan I would absolutely approve of AV if you deny me a Yeo coached team.
I know canucks fans didnt agree with AV near the end of his stint becuase of his poor handling of their young prospects. Not enough ice time or any really to develop some of their young up and comers and instead insisted on giving mediocre AHL lifers high minutes
I dont know the extent of which rookies, but I cant think of any high profile ones. Buchnavich still seems to struggle and the eye test says Tarasenko but only a fraction of the talent. I think I read some not like his usage of Skjei...not sure thoughRangers too. Favored vets over youngsters.
Right. I favor wins over loses.Ok let's be real here, while I don't like Yeo's handling of youngsters, it wouldn't be as big of a deal if we were winning games.
So if AV can get the team to play good hockey, that's the top priority to me.
Someone will have to explain to me what the problem with Ken Hitchcock was.
We played structured, lock down defense and won 50 games a year. I would kill to have this team playing Hitch Hockey.
We didn't win a Cup because our top centers were Backes, Stastny, and Berglund, our goalies absolutely crumbled, and we had to play LA and Chicago and very few teams beat them.
Hitchcock took the Blues further than the great Joel Quenneville ever did(by one game in the WCF).
I'd love to see what Hitchcock could do with this team now that both our centers are better than anyone we've had in 15 years. I guarantee you we'd see much better hockey. Assuming the players don't tune him out for no reason.

Because coaches can't coach forever and he's now retired? Dallas did not do well with him either, btw.Someone will have to explain to me what the problem with Ken Hitchcock was.

The league was changing to a faster and quicker style and Hitch was left behind in the dust with an outdated system. The offensive output was slowly fading under his system and it was only reinforced by the disappointing season Dallas had under his tutelage despite the offensive talent they had. I liked Hitch, the team played great defense under him for many years, but it started to fall apart and he lost the locker room. Not to mention many first round exits especially the embarrassing first round exit to the Wild in 2015 with a vastly superior team. Out coached by yours truly, Michael Yeo.Someone will have to explain to me what the problem with Ken Hitchcock was.
