I don’t know their motivations. I could see either of them being up for a challenge on the biggest (or 2nd biggest) stage in the league. Clearly it’s hard to coach in Toronto and it’d be pretty damn glorious to lead them to a Stanley Cup.
Is that supposed to be a bad thing? He is one of the most winningest coaches in NHL history in his first 6 seasons and has only had one playoffs where he went under 500. They’d be brain dead to let him go. Most coaches hover around .500 tbf.
odd since there was so much blame he was getting by cane fans for the canes getting eliminated early again.
So much blame by Canes fans??? I don't think so. If they let him walk Canes fans would've been beyond pee'd off. The only talk I heard was from fans of other teams take cheap shots.
It's HF boards, it never takes more than one person saying something (sometimes even barely or not at all saying that thing) for someone to later say "But I was told________?!" or "What happened to all the _______ fans who said _______."
I mean deservedly so because of decisions, no coach is free from criticism, but there is absolutely no better options on the market. It takes awhile for a long of coaches to win in the post season the Rangers coach is literally a retread and hasn’t won a cup since Carolina. Also, fans were going to be more pisses off if they fired him they still are constantly successful and RBA is probably one of the best motivational coaches in the league.
Also true of players who are chokes until they are not. It's usually BS.
I wouldnt want to leave living in Raleigh to go to Toronto either, 3 hours away from the beach, nice weather yearish round or freeze my sack off all winter. ...gee tough all.
