Coaching and management changes around the league

I'd like to say I called it but that was obvious to anyone with half a brain. Why did they wait so long?

I was wondering that, too. The season is basically lost now. At least they have a couple decent pieces to move at the deadline.

That pair can pass on great memories of playing the Leafs in the playoffs ..
But we probably won't have to worry about that this season.

From afar, I didn't mind what I saw of DJ Smith. Justifiably, I think the Sens were hoping for a better result this year.

I don't think they had an heir apparent...so they go get Martin and let him figure out where the bathroom is before they throw him into the fire as soon as he found it.

That?s usually it something that stops teams from making the necessary move. But, as we all know, the sens do things their own way.

Boy is that quite the telling graph, herman!

The bottom 5 teams are definitely underperforming vs. where we'd thought they'd be...and even most of the top 5 and 6 are simply overperforming just the same. 

Not going to lie...was glad to see the Leafs in the middle of this stat.
 
Teams that cleared their coaches so far tend to be coming from the top of that graph. Teams at the bottom of the graph (over performing) will fall back towards the middle if they aren?t already on that trajectory.

Leafs gathering points while generally getting middly goaltending is positive, but a good chunk could?ve swung the other way if it weren?t for our offense. Haven?t lost by more than 3 goals (ENs in there) so far.

So the Wild?s AGM mutually agreed to part ways with the team earlier this week, mysteriously.

Lou Lamoriello seems to be bad at hiring coaches. Or very prolific about it?

Kind of happy about this. Every time I watched the Islanders, Lambert scared the shit out of me.
 
Maybe its just me but that Islanders roster sucks.  Coaching them to a 91 point pace over 1.5 seasons seems like exceeding expectations rather than a reason to fire him. 

That being said, Lou is 10,000 years old and his roster construction is not the problem.  They probably just need sharper razors to make sure there is no facial hair or sideburns.

So many grinders. So many.

Basically everything past their top line, top D pair, and top goalie is pretty bad. Those handful of players are really good though.
