I'm on record saying I'm not a big proponent of Berube only because he wasn't exactly the best player during his time in the NHL, but at this point I would take a crash dummy behind the bench.

Absolutely no point to do that on the cusp of March given where they are in the standings and their remaining schedule. And Berube isn’t coming without a multi year deal. Nashville doesn’t have Brunette if they followed that thinking. Only responsible approach is to wait until summer when every option around the league and elsewhere is available. The only plausible alternative if you make the move now is Green. Talk about a crash dummy. God help us. Use your head not your heart. If after a full on exhaustive and comprehensive search Berube is the guy, so be it. But not now under the gun. PS - Halak was a crash dummy too.

At least an actual crash test dummy would be lassez-faire with everyone equally. What Lindy does is worse...rag on Holtz and to an extent Timo, then let everyone else slide starting with the golden prince on the blue line.

It’d also stop its fair share of pucks and wouldn’t inexplicably leave the crease like VV. Edited February 23 by smelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did win a Cup and not like great players always make great coaches (see: Gretzky). Scotty Bowman didn’t play a single minute in the NHL. But if Fitz doesn’t want Berube, then he doesn’t want him. Gonna suck watching Lindy doing Lindy things for the rest of the season, but if he’s not gone after this disaster and the one that came before it and the team now having gone 7-10-2 in their last 19, guess it’s not happening until the season’s over. And yeah that sucks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 If anyone has watched Sunderland Till I Die they fired their coach after a big loss and didn't even let him go to the post game press conference. Same thing should have happened here. A representative coming out and saying Lindy and the staff have been let go, we won't be taking any other questions tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelly Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 In other news, clear as day that VV’s mysterious health issues are complete BS and he is finally dead to even Fitz and Lindy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smelly Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 If I’m Blitzer and Harris, Fitz has a lot of ‘splaining to do about so many things. The cynical part of me thinks Fitz owes his extension to He Who Must Not Be Named. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smelly Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) And it also is an organizational embarrassment that Fitz has been totally MIA since the WJ thing went down, even during the whole Stadium Series extravaganza. He and ownership (and likely their personal and organizational lawyers) clearly don’t want him out there open to some very tough questions about what he knew and why he made the decisions he did with MM and especially Foote. Just like MM’s equivocal non-answers over the years, seems obvious to me that Fitz is hiding because there is some very embarrassing laundry in both the organizational and his own closets. An argument can be made that this sh!thole of a season is simply well-deserved karma. Edited February 23 by smelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
