He's trying. Which is why less ice won't help.

I do think that some coaches use the method of picking out one player to be the dog.  The example for other players to say "sucks to be him".  And they pick out that player because they aren't playing well. Of course. Not saying he can't work on a few things. But i also think its a part of a strategy for some coaches. And they can overplay that hand. 

Well, second in the division makes it hard for me to want to analyze it much

- Demko had a standout game

 

- Pettersson back to form

 

- Zadorov and Myers best defensive pair... especially standouts during PK's... they should stay together

 

Unfortunately Hughes had his worst game of the season... cause of two 'too many man' penalties and the guy who made the perfect pass turnover which led to Carolina goal.

 

And by the way, Kuzmenko has ZERO confidence left... afraid to shoot, tentative with his passes... Tocchet has ground the initiative completely out of him.  Overall I like what Tocchet has done with this team, but he has gotten it wrong with Kuzmenko.

 

There are dozens of teams falling all over themselves to get this guy... but Tocchet has reduced his trade value considerably.  In the first 15 games Kuzmenko might not have been scoring, but his line was piling up the goals and points.  Now he is nowhere.  Sorry, but he has been mismanaged.

 

Lafferty may be doing well with Pettersson, but anyone can pick up goals by being on his line... and Lafferty is not a first liner... his best previous goal total was 10... and maybe he's going good now, but its not going to last.

If he can't keep the team consistent yes Fire Tocchet. 

 

Tocchet doesn't get to become a good coach with this team he has to be a good coach now

 

EP Hughes ELC were squandered by the other inexperience coaches These guys are now in their primes and their window is NOW

What more consistency do you need. We haven’t lost more then 2 games in a row and that only happened twice

Again, we've had the best season the team has had in a decade so far ,  so kinda wondering how anyone can go from where we sit , to fire the coach.  Whatever deficiency you think Tocchet has is redundant overall IMO

Critiquing 1 or 2 of Toccs decisions doesn't mean fire him
