Not for him and his group though>hasty
IT'S BEEN SIX YEARS
Did he draw a 20 game line in the sand? He wants to be patient .. ok its his team. Game 20 tonight.Wouldn't want to make a hasty decision on a coach with 4 (going on 5) years of failure.
We'll wallow in mediocrity and tread water for another month or two and once the coaching change takes place it'll be too late to make a difference.
Titanic way more popular for sinking then if it remained floating its entire life - maybe Melnyck had sinking planned out all along to get more eyeballs?
Keeping losers around thinking you’ve got the means to turn them into winners - they figured it out quick with Dorion, DJ seems to have 9 NHL coaching lives
Now now, let's not be hasty. How could the team possibly appoint someone interim for such an important organizational position? *checks notes* Except for the fact that it's exactly what they did with the GM.20 games.
10 wins. 10 losses. +6 goal differential
So you've got Staois and Alfredsson with about 2175 games played in the NHL between them.
You've got a new NHL owner saying we're evaluating and trying to understand
Would 20 games of watching a team play be enough for Staois and Alfredsson to conclude the team is poorly coached?

The changes they made to the system 3 games ago, team is playing much better.20 games.

What does picking a longterm coach have to do with hiring an interim coach? We're entering this sort of analysis paralysis phase. No one is saying they have to rush a decision on a longterm coach. Who knows who'll be available in the offseason and they can create a shortlist and find the right guy. But we're 20 games in, do we need the other 60 to be a complete throwaway because teams don't usually hire an interim HC at this point of the season?picking the right next coach is just as important as firing the bad one we have.
just make it right

I know you're only repeating what was said by someone else so I'm not disputing you I'm countering the general point being made in the media. The idea of stability, in this case, doesn't actually make sense if you think about it.Well, I agree. But Friedman touched on the idea of "Stability" as in they don't want the players to have an interim coach and then explore a full-time coach in the summer. I do not think they can go the traditional interim route where they hire internally as the assistance needs to go as well.
Part of the evaluation would be trying to understand what the players will respond to. DJ is soft as butter so hiring a complete hard ass could backfire.
It just seems they are on the right path even though I think its laughable DJ has lasted this long
We were 7-12-1 after 20 last season. Finished 39-35-8. We’re trending better every year.
Depends where you look, either way it's not good, nor very acccurate.after the 20 game mark last season .375 P% vs .500 P% today after 20 games.
Sens have better odds/chances to make the playoff than Tampa

There's 3 things we know are going to happen:
1. You know you're going to fire DJ at the end of the season.
2. You know you're going to hire a new GM who will evaluate the roster and make decisions.
3. And you know there will be a new coach preaching a new message and updated system.
No matter what happens the rest of the season, we'll end up with those 3 things happening.

NHL Playoff Odds -MoneyPuck 2024 Playoff & Cup Odds 20% lower than Tampa
National Hockey League Playoff Chances - Sports Club Stats Sens at 30%, Tampa 20%
NHL 2023-24 Stanley Cup playoff chances and projected standings 7% lower than Tampa at 29%
When there are so many differing %'s, hard to take any very serious after a 20 game sample size. 1 win, or 1 loss changes the probability an unrealistic amount.
What Andlauer is preaching is patience. Methodically analyze to understand how to improve. Smart man.I know you're only repeating what was said by someone else so I'm not disputing you I'm countering the general point being made in the media.

So, we're looking at evaluating opportunities for the next 60 games. (Should have happened earlier but we are where we are now)
Maybe an interim coach can get 60 above average games out of them and they sneak into the playoffs somehow. Or maybe nothing changes and you need to make big, wholesale changes anyway. The fact is, we end up with the same result we're going to end up with. This is classic overthinking, it's exactly what analysis paralysis is. You overthink the problem at hand so much that you end up making no decisions, which in this circumstance, is actually the worst decision to make.
Anyway, I guess we better hope these guys outperform their start to the season by a significant margin or else this season will be an entirely avoidable throwaway.
I sense a poet's mentality here!Andlauer won't be hasty, he'll give DJ a try
If he really bugs him then he'll say goodbye
Don't want to sit with the rowdy raucous 323s!I was in 307, not 323.
Or maybe reverse psychology: lots of fans will now want to go to the raucus 323s to join the chants!I sense a poet's mentality here!
