Should Peter DeBoer be on the hot seat?

[generalshepherd141]

He seems like a pretty terrible head coach. Is a disappointing first-round exit enough to cost him his job?

This was one of our best rosters in years and we're about to get bounced out of the first round. I get that we've been banged up and the players are the ones on the ice, but Pete and the staff should've gotten more out of this team. If they limp out of the playoffs they should clean house: special teams coaches, goaltending coaches, etc.

 

[Hobocop]

DeBoer should've been fired months ago.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Would the new coach be able to fix Jones?

 

[Mafoofoo]

Dumbeor and his staff of idiots should’ve been canned in December. A hot streak by the players saved his worthless ass.

 

[Dicdonya]

Yes Deboer absolutely deserves to be on the hot seat, he has done nothing with this team since his first year. They have been essentially even in the standings every year he has been here, and in his fourth year, with the best roster he has had, if he gets outcoached and outplayed by the same team/coach two years in a row, he should be gone.

 

[WesMcCauley]

They have the worst goaltending duo in the NHL. I dont think people get how big of a deal that is. Just making the playoffs is extremely impressive with the lowest save % in the NHL. San Jose had .889 team save % this season.....

Next team to make the playoffs was Calgary with the 11th worst goaltending save %. So no team between 2nd-10th worst goaltending made the playoffs and Jones has been even worse in the playoffs. You dont win anything with goaltending that bad...

 

[Rusty Razor]

Wilson should be on the hot seat for not getting goaltending help at the deadline.

 

[Jozay]

Their goaltending is so awful. Im impressed they were as good as they were this year with that type of goaltending. GM should get him a goalie first.

 

[HanSolo]

No mate, this jinx thread isn't gonna work.

 

[weastern bias]

Yes

He won't be, but he should

 

[BHD]

I would like to see the Sharks play like a team that doesn't go out of it's way to score a touchdown because their goaltender is having a terrible season.

you just activated the jinx though...

Never say die

No I negated it by talking about it.

I'll double down though just in case. Jones is gonna get a shutout tonight.

wow you're literally a god !!

It's not Deboers fault that San Jose hasn't been able to develop goalies.

Well he could be getting the most out of the team he has. The team doesn’t have the best goaltending nor does it have elite skill up front.

I don’t think people get how the team playing a terrible defensive system affects the goaltenders. Martin Jones had the 3rd lowest 5-on-5 expected save percentage of 282 starting goaltenders since 2007-2008. Aaron Dell had the 5th lowest 5-on-5 expected save percentage among 566 starting or backup goaltenders since 2007-2008.

There’s a toxic relationship between the goaltenders and the defensive system that they play and DeBoer is largely at fault for that. Anybody absolving DeBoer of all blame because of the goaltenders is not paying close enough attention. Both goaltenders have declined in every single season they have played for the Sharks and that is not a coincidence.

 

[Nucker101]

he needs to shave

 

[Barrie22]

he should of been gone in november.

Goaltending is atrocious. It’s hard to win every night when you’re forced to put up at least a minimum of 3-4 goals. Get a legit #1 goalie and they would be cruising through the playoffs.

 

[RangerDoggo]

On the one hand, his goalie situation is bad.

On the other hand, he’s gotten pretty stale after his first couple of years, much like he did when he was Devils coach.

 

[NinjaKick]

I wasn't a fan of his style in NJ but I don't think he's a bad coach at all, SJ has other problems, that said, if Jones played like he did last night... they can win the series...
