If we dont make the playoffs then next season Rod better get us back there or else his seat could be hot.

Burning hot considering our playoff performance.

Y’all need to quit with this Rod on the hot seat crap. Rod is best thing to happen to this team. They will be fine. Loooonnggg season still ahead. 

[Panthers Fan 69]

 

the canes have the 6th best record in the league. Islanders and NJ ahead of us but not by much. Y’all have got to relax with this hot seat Rod BS or we ain’t making the playoffs. 
 

relax and enjoy the ride. This team is still really good. Wait until they really get going.

My expectations are high and I’m not lowering them. This franchise preached to us all off-season how focused they were and how just making the playoffs was no longer accepted and their goal was to take the next step. I bought into that. It’s really disappointing to see the same issues that plagued us the past few season appear seemingly worse this year. And our pedigree which is a suffocating fore check that creates turnovers and high danger shots and the best PK in the league are nowhere to be found. I hope Patches somehow magically changes our fortunes, but Rod is not without criticism. Love the guy to death, but your issues can’t get worse when you’re in a Cup window.

Keep those expectations high! No doubt there. But we’re also not a bottom five team either. We’re still tops in the league. They’ll get it worked out trust me on this one

The expectation is to win the Cup, not just make the playoffs. We have been there 4 time already with similar exits. There are a few scenarios that will indeed put him on the hot seat.

One, if we miss the playoffs. Another is if we get bounced the same way we have been. I think Rod has about 2 to 3 years to improve. If we make the playoffs but lose out while still playing like we should his chances of staying are good. We cant keep making it and exiting the way we have been.

It’s cup or bust for Rod over the remainder of his contract (two more years I think). If he doesn’t bring us a cup then he won’t be back in my opinion.

Just look at the success that Cassidy had in Boston, he couldn’t get the job done though and he was let go.

[Panthers Fan 69]

Our Fanbase doesn’t deserve Rod. If you’re already talking about a next coach because you don’t make a Stanley Cup after missing the playoffs for 10 years then you need to reevaluate yourself as a Canes fan.   
 

based on y’all’s logic, didn’t get to the Stanley Cup again let’s get a new coach and the team fuging sucks for five or six more years. This is asinine and I’m ashamed to be having this conversation.  Rod IS the reason we are relevant.   Spoiled is what we have become.  

[Panthers Fan 69]

Rod’s going to win a Stanley Cup this year or next year. Stay on the train.   Relax and enjoy relevant hockey in the Carolinas.

Unfortunately that’s not how it works in the NHL, you can look it up, the NHL along with the NBA has the highest turnover rate for head coaches.

Bruce Cassidy had a record of 245-108-46 with the Bruins and took them to game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. However, he never brought the cup to Boston and he was fired after five and a half years… this is Rod’s fifth year.

Boston is also a bunch of impatient assholes. They fuged up. 

[USDepartmentOfSavagery]

Yeah, Rod will have to put up or shut up. The honeymoon phase is over and it’s time for results. Love the guy but this is a results oriented business. 

[Panthers Fan 69]

Results????  We missed the playoffs 10 straight years.   How quick you all forget. That’s Buffalo level bad . 4 straight years of playoff hockey in NC.  y’all are acting like spoiled Rangers fans mixed with ass Panther fans. you y’all stop acting like babies.  We aren’t the Panthers forum. This group is better than this bullshit.  
 

stop being spoiled and appreciate what you have vs what you don’t.

Alright, pooping my post like a little girl is not an appropriate response. Rod is subject to criticism. I’m not clamoring for a coaching change lol, but this is a business. If you are content with just making the playoffs, that’s okay. But I’m not.
