you want to fire a coach for pulling the goalie too early?

If you consider the fact that he's done it for over 4 years to no avail yes

There's a lot more reasons I want him gone. This is one of the minor ones but certainly one of them.

It's not even the preseason loss, It's the fact that this is a sign that he's still stubborn as always. Including the interviews he's done over the summer it looks like he hasn't changed one bit

The stats back him up. Pulling the goalie early is the right move

It's pretty much everything he does. For all the hype he had, he's been a major letdown.

Besides the Gold Medals that any coach could have gotten with those teams he has accomplished nothing for a very long time. He is old school coach he thinks good players need to learn by playing with plugs. He values veteran players and grinders way too much and plays them far too often. His GM had to trade all of those players away like Billy Bean did in Moneyball.

If he still plays Matthews 18 mins a night in key games than he should be fired after this season. I would have axed him this off season as I think he hasn't evolved as a coach. Especially with how to handle the young guys.

This is his make or break season.
