Title: (When) Will MacLellan address the media or otherwise take action?
Post by: zerofox on Saturday August 22, 2020, 11:18:05 AM Eastern

I'm hoping BMac will give us some sort of indication as to what his plans are for the offseason. Will he fire Reirden (and who will be his replacement)? Will he fire the rest of the coaching staff? What roster moves will he want to make?


After an embarrassing flame out at the hands of the Isles, would be nice to see the team moving in the right direction.


I would be legitimately pissed if he sat around on his hands doing nothing as if a 1st round exit was acceptable.

Me thinks Zero should start prepping his anger...


since when does poor playoff performance and early flame outs result in a CAPS coach getting fired?

Pretty sure he's gonna fire him!  :snicker: 


 I imagine TR is a decent #'s dude who knew what he -wanted- them to do. He just didn't know how to get them to do it..

Yep.  Pretty sure that's the problem with this team (and many others).  The head coach is more of a asset manager than a coach.  Needs to figure out to "manage" all of the players and egos and quirks and coaches, and etc., etc.




Sucks for Todd - the players didn't perform, but that was his job...find a way to make them do so.
