If JTM is really the issue why TF sign him to that encumbering deal?

It make's zero sense? You're better off to cut your losses and move on!

Perhaps. I wanted them to hire Boudreau but maybe a hardass system coach is what they need. Look at Bear’s comments after the game:
“I think it's frustrating because you take a breath out there,” Canuck defenceman Ethan Bear said, “maybe don't make a hard play, and in this league it comes back down and a lot of times it ends up in the back your net. In Carolina, I really learned that: you have to be consistent in the same way. Sometimes it's not fun and it's not flashy, but it does get the job done. I think we just get away from making the simple play sometimes and it comes back to haunt us.

“You’ve got to be predictable. I've seen it work.”

They can hire another coach all they want, it's clear that the core just doesn't give enough of a poop and just isn't good enough.

Yeah, I'm thinking about the coaching situation too — among other things — in the new blog:

Didn’t you call Tanev a coke head? I think Jonny Hockey was another one you called out.

I call lots of people coke heads you goddam meth head. Doesn’t mean I called Petey a coke head

Except that that particular narrative is that the refs are crooked and handed the game to Toronto, which isn’t what happened…

Turned the tide though. Seen that script before.
