    It's sort of the like the Sens....they are going to succeed despite Melnyk. It would be better if everyone were helping move the franchise forward. The Jets have had some very limited success despite Maurice, not because of him. There is just no way this whole situation isn't a glaring bright neon sign pointing to Maurice's limitations as a coach. He is holding this team back. In a big way. He's is a terrible coach.

    Melnyk isn't a coach. He has nothing to do with players success or failure.

    And for the record, I'd say Laine was pretty successful himself.

    Really? You honestly believe Melnyk has no effect on the on ice product of that Sens team?

    If Maurice were a decent coach and not coaching to keep his job he would have nipped this bitchy player bull shit in the bud and held all of these players, particularly Laine, accountable. For all of it.

    Maurice may or may not be a good coach, but some players and some people just have their minds made up and I have a feeling Laine had his mind made up long ago, as did Dubois. There was no saving this.

    I don't know if you can blame the coach for what the team became when practically their whole defense just vanished. Coaching won't make Forbort and Pionk into Buff and Trouba.
