Yeah, if the Giguere injury lasts a few more games, we definitely can’t move him now. Carlyle canceled practice today, so maybe he’s trying EVERYTHING. His job’s definitely on the line for these next few games before the four game road trip.

Who would you want to take the reins, though? Someone new? Brown? Farrish?

Well, the question isn’t really SHOULD. I don’t think anyone agrees that a coach SHOULD be fired because the team is bad. Problem is, for a GM, that’s the only option available. It’s much harder to do anything to your players en masse.

It’s mostly ceremonial, like a veto or confidence vote, in that it rarely addresses the problem directly. But when a roster shows that it won’t listen to the coach, it forces the GM’s hand. It would SUCK to lose Carlyle, but this squad doesn’t really seem to care that his job is at stake.

Yeah, I saw that on the HF Boards, and I was signing on to post it. I don’t think it’s a shakeup move. Beleskey took an ugly hooking call against Toronto and Marchant had his second serious spill of the season. Of our PTO’s this year, it’d be more of a shakeup if we signed Cullimore.
