Listening to the post-game, and holy poo!

Has Rod ever said, "this one's on me."

When asked about composure, he threw Staal and Martinook under the bus. "Those 2 can't be your best players."

Disregarding that he didnt answer the question, does he realize how that sounds to professional athletes?

When asked how you prepare for game 4, "I'm not even thinking about that."

Clearly, Rod.

I was still defending him last year, albeit with the caveit in the back of my mind that if it happens again I'd withdraw myself from being invested in this team. 

 

Its not defensible at this point.... Rods entire gimmick is high effort forececk cycle cycle take random low danger shot rinse repeat....  as soon as you play a team with the size and skill to break out of the canes high pressure you get sh*tcanned. 

 

He doesnt adapt EVER its always the same 0-12 ECF and all of the second round losses we've suffered look the same as those finals. Then you get rod on the podium looking completly befuddled with zero answers and just saying "we've got to play better I've got no idea what's going on"

Yeah i mean why is it they are your best players? Why do our top guys suddenly disappear over and over and over again? Time to look in the mirror.

I mean a few factors but the design of the offense has more to do with it than anything else IMO.  Rod doesnt have any kind of creation going shot wise its all forecheck cycle shoot low danger look for tips and put ins.

if Rod is fired, who could the Canes turn to? any good coaches still free?

Is that throwing them under bus or rest of team? He is saying those two were our best players and that can’t be the case if we are going to win.

It's both somehow. He was trying to say the rest of the team sucks. But, when you say certain guys can't be your best players, you are by default saying those players aren't good enough either.

Hakstol, Sullivan or Woodcroft would be good choices.
