I think Laviolette, you look at systematically.

The one thing, oh, I think that that team needs is a hardened coach.

They need a Rod Brendamore emotional guy back there yelling and holding guys accountable.

When's the last time you think that team had that?

Same with 29.

The thing is they've got to adjust their play somewhat to a point where it's gotten them this far.

It hasn't gotten them over the hump.

To me, I said this all along and I was tongue-in-cheek.

But if you would have done something, they probably should have done something at Olympic break, kind of like what Vegas did, kind of like what other teams did, to try and jolt them because they needed a wake-up.

They were just kind of trudging through the regular season.

Knobloch's a great coach, but great coaches get fired.

Joel Quinville was a coach of mine.

Daryl Sutter, I've had great coaches.

Lavi, you've had Lavi.

They all get fired at some point.

Yeah, you're right.

But they won, and he took over in the most tough situation ever.

They had, like, 47 points his first year.

Literally.

But the difference between the conversation, the longest coaches in the tenure right now is they've won.
