    Game 6 - It was not Death, for I stood up

    Ah, I gotcha now. I agree, I wouldn’t have fired Montgomery on the basis of last year alone. FWIW, I think that new coaches are largely fungible (at least in that there’s probably a much larger universe of people who could do the job passably well than who get the chance to) in most sports that...

    Game 6 - It was not Death, for I stood up

    Thanks for this. I don’t think we’re far off at all. I’m generally against that philosophy as well. I just don’t think that it’s a fair representation of most of the posts here that lead to these discussions. Most of them are one-liners, and can fairly be criticized or questioned for that. But I...

    Game 6 - It was not Death, for I stood up

    I’ve been trying to launch a political party based entirely upon the permissibility of stepping on the Achilles and heel of anyone walking down the sidewalk at 1/4 speed, looking at their phones, during rush hour or lunch time. So maybe we can do some coalition building.

    Game 6 - It was not Death, for I stood up

    To be fair, some things really have seemed to change for the better under Montgomery, including the folding in of younger players (by necessity in some cases, and it’s not like younger players under previous regimes who were jettisoned have mostly turned out to be great elsewhere). I think he...

    Game 6 - It was not Death, for I stood up

    I don’t know, but I love this response every time it gets made. Did you have Montgomery as your top replacement for Cassidy when he got fired? Cassidy for Clode? If not, it sure seems like serviceable coaches are probably out there. Do you not read these things before you write them, or are you...

    Game 6 - It was not Death, for I stood up

    Meh. I think they’re probably exhausted with him. Shows up out of shape, pretty firmly in his own head[case], streaky. I’m not chomping at the bit to let him go, and would be fine with him back at a good price, but I don’t think they’ll miss him all that much. And I love his game when he’s on.

    Game 6 - It was not Death, for I stood up

    Why do all of you guys strawman this one so badly? It’s fucking weird. There have been repeated, specific criticisms of Montgomery, and there’s pretty much never a defense of what he does in connection with them. It’s always this weird “Look how reasonable I am!” misrepresentation the posts that...

    Game 6 - It was not Death, for I stood up

    When you have a dearth of scoring talent, you just can’t make the deluge of mental mistakes that this team makes. Shorthanded for 3/4 of a period this playoffs due to bench minors. Brain dead play after brain dead play by the defense in their own zone. Absolutely shit adjustments on the...

    Play the whole period in your end, and that happens.

    You just finally get done reading the goalie interference rule?

    Especially when you’re about 0-fer the period on faceoffs.
