So often this seems to be the case with coaching changes.

I'm in between on coaching or player chemistry as the problem. We have talent that don't seem to mesh as a team. Question is is it only a matter of coaching? Combination?

I would hope a good GM does not trade a player away because we fans don't like the player. Think you overstated that by saying fans equally to blame. I understand the sentiment that we the fans can get on certain players but that's every fan base there is.

Exactly!! The EMPLOYEES he's hired. Everyone makes mistakes but ten years running? You'd think you couldn't make that many hiring mistakes. This problem is management. Again, I agree on most of your opinion about the Pegulas except in the operation of the hockey franchise. They better hire some capable people to handle it because it's a mess and hockey executives even acknowledge that.

Agree. They are not penny pinchers at all. Fracking is not a hockey franchise and I doubt the Pegulas ran it day to day. Their money purchased leases and contractors fracked . No comparison. I also think they're nice people and community minded but again that has nothing to do with running a hockey franchise. Ten years of futility and we think they're doing a good job because they spend and are community minded? Being nice and generous doesn't matter if you are not operating this franchise in a successful way.

Frankly I'm of the opinion they purely lucked out with the Bills in hiring the coach who picked the GM. Also hockey and football are different.

Very possible it's #3. #2 we'll see.

Can we please get back to the thread? This discussion is just dumb.

One word! Ownership. Not coaching, GM's or the equipment manager. Ownership responsible for all of it.

Wow that does bring it close to home. I've been blessed with three Goldens over the years. First one I bred. Her grand parents were champions. Sungold Lad was pictured in the Complete Golden Retriever. My others were just as dear for sure. My last was Carrie. She also went premature with what I believe were slight strokes. We had to put her down at only seven. Remember the good times and the companionship you enjoyed with Colorado.

Hopefully we can keep him but only if he's committed to stay.

Sorry! I am a pet lover and over the years have had to see them leave us. It's always a hard thing.

Who's the next tier? Babcock I don't want at all even if he would come and not because of his standing us up before. I think, frankly, he's overrated.

From what I've read about Leaman I think I'd pick him over other assistant or even any AHL coach at this time. But still prefer a established NHL head coach. Truthfully I'm not sure we're all that attractive to any that might be available and money at this time could be a factor.

I think you're right. I think the rumored Asst.GM has had experience at similar levels. So that's the direction I think.

He's still young. There's hope because he is talented.

What I thought it would be. Couldn't hope for much.

Men, most my age, have been running things in our country for our existence. Bring on more women!!😂

I didn't say he was smart. I said I like him which is a 180 from how I thought of him as a player.

To be honest I like Peters on the show. Rivet is terrible. Marty best at talking hockey.

See my edit.😂

Knowing those guys I could believe it to be serious. Sort of like Terry so impressed with RK's articulating in his interview.

Turned on the Instigators. Peters liked the interim coach's post game press conference. So he asks "should we pump the brakes on this head coaching search?" I hope he was just looking to stir the pot to get a response but it didn't sound it.

Also bad. Unfortunately. On paper this team doesn't look as bad as they play but I'm beginning to think this team needs a makeover.

Just can't see it. He'd be entertaining for sure but on this team I'd rather see another guy who has experience like Gallant or BB. If your going with just a assistant with another team I'd rather get Leaman.
