Coach Q of Chicago could be in that same vein too. The Hawks were decimated because they had to let a lot of $$$ go, but the Hawks were scrimping and scraping for each win. Sure, they were still talented (how can you not be with Toews, Sharp, Kane, Hossa, etc.), still it’s got to be hard when your core players are gone next season.
Agreed that Boudreau had to go. 24/7 did nothing to help his cause especially when you see how Dan Bylsma coaches compared to him. Though, I think once Ovi was benched for part of that game his walking papers were signed.
