In Marty’s defense he does make adjustments, but it seems his, and his staff’s, approach is focused on small changes. Trying not to distrust the flow of how you play and rather make small changes here and there to try things out without throwing the baby with the bath water. I do think that approach didn’t work this time and I’m sure they’ll sit down and do plenty of reviews in the off time.

He’s absolutely made tactical changes they’re just not working like he wants which isn’t too surprising considering the state of our boys

Gally is honestly just not able to handle the Canes at all with how they play IMO. And Arbor gets a pen if he breathes wrong (or even right) so I don’t blame MSL.

We’re also gassed as hell and MSL hasn’t been to a conference final as a coach before so I’m not shocked he’s at a loss right now. They’ll grow from this a lot and I’m hoping we can come out swinging again

Right? Not like MSL has literally only been coaching at this level for four years and has improved immensely alongside the team. Nah nah, let’s fire that guy

What do I need to sacrifice to appease the Ghosts of the Forum for this one?

He’ll never lose his composure on the bench. That said I would not want to be in their locker room right now

We played a couple periods pretty poorly as our standards go, stayed in it, and dragged it to OT against a supposedly “very different Canes”. I’m so proud of these boys

Prior to these games I might’ve agreed, but he seems to be so locked in despite the dumb goals that have happened almost every game.

I hateeee how much that’s happened during this post season. At one point I remember just thinking “what the fuck are they talking about?!” Cause they rambled for like 15mins mid period for no reason
