Dan Spiegel: The Two Players That Might Save Rowe's Job

He makes two good signings? Who takes responsibility for Yandle and all that money? Get rid of Mr. Magoo, he sucks ass.

3 more for Massachusetts tonight ! Starting to look more like a bit more forgiveness may be in order. .

Even more reason for a complete exit. Playing to the level of your opponent is a weakness derived from coaching/management.

Rowe did all the right things as a GM, but has ruined this season as a coach. Gallant wasn't the right guy for the job, but he had the players behind him.

Worry not, I see the Panthers contending for a cup this time next year.

No, he did not do all of the right things as GM, and he's compounded his mismanagement of the team now that he's behind the bench. He's going to be the fall guy for all of the other morons within the organization, but that's his problem.

Gallant wasn't the right guy? Did you just wake up from a coma last week?

First of all, Gallant took us to the playoffs last year and was a finalist for coach of the year.
Secondly no way we compete for the cup, maybe the playoffs.

What happened to you man crush on Cifu?

The Panters should sign Rowe to a large extension

Man crush? Hardly. Weren't we ALL happy with him until he proved he had no business making hockey decisions?

No to Rowe. Not as coach; not as GM.

Here are some basic analytics:
Last year - Division Champion
This year - out of playoffs

Rowe's fingerprints are all over this disaster.

Marchessault and Sceviour were definitely good signings. But isn't that like complimenting the captain of the Titanic on the nice fine china selection?

If they fired Gallant, how can they not fire Rowe? Oh by the way, it was Rowe the GM who made that decision and brought it to ownership

It was also Rowe who put a beaten and concussed Ekblad back in the lineup only to sustain a neck injury. Another foolish move for some meaningless games.

The worst person to ever hold a management or coaching position in this franchises history...and that's quite an accomplishment.

Welp, everything rides on hiring a good coach. They better let Tallon do it, that's all I'm saying.

We shut out Chicago, lose to Buffalo. Bad coaching or players quitting? Or both?

Jokinen told him they had a players only meeting and he asked jokinen what was discussed. Dumby that's why it's called players only

He sure knows how to motivate his players

Houdini should be hired to save Rowe's job. This team went from a contender to a defensive mess thanks to management decisions. Yandle is a giveaway machine and is a poor excuse for a NHL defenseman. So hard to watch this team implode and so obvious there was no coaching direction. I also will not renew my tickets until Rowe is gone. ROWE MUST GO!!!!!!!

Yandle and Demers were on the ice for the first 3 Canadians goals. Rowe finally split them up during the 2nd period and magically no Canadians goals scored. Third period Rowe puts them back together and magically they are on the ice again for the Canadians 4th goal. Is he that clueless?

Yandle was -4, Demers -5 tonight....ouch

Did you catch Rowe's post game interview where he said the only thing positive about last nights game was the 2nd period? No poop Sherlock I could have told you that

Idk but it seems like Mitchell and Campbell were the glue on the back end ,and maybe in the room? But injuries and questionable coaching is probably the most culprit! And hopefully ekblad will be able to be in elite form next year! Oh and goaltending, not having lou hurt them too
