And it only took the smartest coach in history 3 and a half years to realize it.

....identifying it and saying something as general as 'just cover the points better' would've fixed everything....

Who knew....you had the 5 magic words to fix 3yrs of failure....

My sarcasm at work....sorry for the confusion. I don't actually think RW took your advice.

But I do think he's a much smarter individual and better coach than you'd ever be.

A .500 coach and the only coach to have the worst special teams for over 3 years?? Setting the bar very low.

he fluked on to it, c'mon. give credit where credit is due
- nohope

He's made the right moves on the PK and its paying off right now. Why'd it take 3 1/2 years?

And it's working so far.


Saw all kinds of things from your end to fix things..... oh wait you said everything was OK.

Giving him even that much credit is killing you....it's so apparent...even over these boards.

umm, maybe. after Burke lands a power forward and a no1 center

When?? 5 years ago..... He's missed more often than not. Strong argument.

Yup...it is....everything is as expected.

Youngest team in the nhl....so there will obviously be inconsistencies.

neither will happen this year...and they'll still make the playoffs.

I aspire to more..... I would like the coach of my team to be more than a career 500 coach that misses the playoffs more times than he makes it.

he also coached a glorified ahl roster...

It won't. Ryan or a first line centre will mean you have to give up the depth you've taken so long to put together.
- Pen15

So if we offered say Kadri+Grabbo+Schenn and a 1st or 2nd rd pick for either Ryan or Getzlaf we're gutting our depth?

more like kadri kuli schenn and 1st....

and yes..that would be a lot to lose...for one player.

you're not getting Getzlaf, and that's too much for Ryan


but all that for both, yes

he missed it alot with san jose.

Picked by the experts to win just about every year there...... consensus top team and he failed year after year.


Another strong argument.

he didn't make the playoffs with an ahl team is definitely a great argument

Name a coach who has survived less?

CLB has fired how many coaches in their existence? Has their team been any better? And yet they fire coaches. Strange how that happens like that.

so he must have an AHL team this year, because he is precariously close

Why waste so much time and energy argueing with burn? It'll only lead to ulcers, grey hair, and an early grave.

Are we still debating Wilson?

Its getting old.

I asked for names, but he never answers me..nobody does. I'm pretty much the twitter equivalent of me in real life.
