I thought it was a sure thing 15 games in. Not so much now.
If a coaching change is not made, then "No".
Carlyle seems to lose the bench in games when the chips start to fall.
Prime example, last game of the playoffs last year and he did not call a timeout to settle the team down and get them focused or our last game against Pittsburgh.
He doesn't know how to handle intense situations. He needs to go.
Do it now before the season is truly lost. Only problem is the most likely replacement mid season would be The Great One. He and Leiweke have a relationship and what better way to make a bang then to bring the biggest name in hockey in to coach the biggest team in the league.
We've made it in once in the last 8 years? We're playing like basement team this season and management is showing no signs of doing something about it. So the rational response is "no".
I find the whole "we've made it once in 8 years...."
So did we have this exact team 8 years ago? We also made it last year, and are currently in a playoff spot. Shouldn't that be more then what Trevor Kidd did in 2004?
I thought it was a sure thing 15 games in. Not so much now.
They will wait too long to make changes.
I think the tough schedule in December will wake up the team and we'll make it. (hopefully)
29 games into the season and they haven't played well. People say "good teams find ways to win" but shouldn't "good" teams also be capable of actually playing well?
Carlyle's teams looks like crap and wins.
Wilson teams look good while losing.
What would you rather have? A winner or a loser.
