Is the bantam hockey coach on the ropes?

I’m referring to MSL, obviously. I think he’s safe until the new year but if there’s no improvement once Laine is back . . . might be time to get ready for Pascal Vincent, or someone else.

Vicent will take over one day , doubt MSL steps down this year

Team will be done by the time Laine is back
 
As Frank the Tank says, winning is fascist. Last night though can't really pin the loss on him. Another called back goal (fans are going to have to stop cheering until they drop the puck as I swear 1 in 5 goals are now called back) and bad goaltending by 35 on the tying and winning goal.

I wasn’t pinning it on him. But if players aren’t improving, and they can’t win . . . well, something might give at a certain point.
 
Calgary’s 2nd goal was embarrassing, and likely due to the hybrid D. If Nick Suzuki can’t grasp the system… I dunno.
 
Yeah, who would have thought that hiring someone with no coaching experience except (quite literally) for coaching children and an assistant on the PP for half a year in the NHL might not work out.

Looking like Marty St. Louis will be the guy

Which is amazing considering that my son has played against him and his '08 Mid-Fairfield Jr. Rangers team (his younger son plays on that team) twice in the last 8 months - lost both times but by a goal. Can't tell if he can coach pros, however.

It was really a no-risk hiring. If it doesn’t work out, no biggie. The team sucks anyway.

Yeah. He’s worth a try. If he can’t make his system work, there’s always college and he can be like Paul Westhead who got fired by the Lakers but regained success in college

did you watch the HBO show Winning? They sure made Pat Riley out to be a weasel in it.

I enjoyed John C Reilly… a lot

Unfortunately for Riley, the series got terminated before he established himself as one of the GOATS

yeah the Jerry Buss character was well played.

I was watching it on a plane to Florida and the scene where he is fingering his girl friend in the restaurant was on, from the corner of my eye, I saw my son across the row looking over and laughing
 
I like Martin but it’s beyond comprehension that we didn’t force him to have a seasoned assistant. All our previous rookie coaches did, and they alll had more coaching experience than him.

I like that we didn't. If we want more of the old boys club then just hire an old boy as coach. I like the fresh approach.

I'm also fine with the current coaching. The team is exactly where the roster suggests they should be.

you don't need seasoned assistants when you aren't trying to win
