I’
ve seen a couple
people talk about firing Cassidy. Like what kind of drugs do you need to be on to have that idea pop into your head? The team is obvi in a decline, in the last 3 years, we’ve lost Krug, Chara, Krejci, and Tuukka. Our 3rd & 4th lines have struggled all season. And yet, we still made the playoffs in a conference that has never seen this much lopsided
talent in NHL history (first time ever all playoff teams have >100 points). So, yeah, have these games been disappointing/frustrating? Of course. Did the officiating absoluteY BLOW in
game 2? Yeah. But Carolina is the better team. Plain and simple. Cassidy is not a miracle worker. We’re getting
beat by a better team. They’ve been better all season. They’ve killed us in every meeting this year. It’s not
like we dominated them all year and are just now falling flat. It’s not
like we’re the 2019 lightning getting swept by the blue jackets in the 1st round. Firing Cassidy would be absolutely ludicrous. We finished 7th in the conference, and yet fans/social media think we’re the cup favorites, and if we don’t make it all the way, the season was a
failure. It’s insane. We are a
cum wagon.
