I’d rather get a solid shot at the 1st pick (at least top 3) and a new coach, and forgetting this season ever existed, than ending up ~20th in the league like last year and have yet another season with Sullivan.

Would you prefer turning the season around to an ”acceptable” season, ending in the bottom half, or would you rather end up in the bottom three – getting us some good talent and (likely) a new coach? 🤷‍♂️

Regardless of Mike Sullivan’s last few years, he has truly been a fantastic coach. I have all respect for him. But all good things come to an end. Now is the time.

  1. Yes! 

    At this point the window is shut. No point in getting rid of Sullivan just to make the playoffs and win one round. 

    Let’s just get some new talent and start winning again ASAP. These last 2 years have been pretty boring, as it’s always the same things (support cast not being great, blown leads, subpar goaltending…), so let’s just get it over with. 

  2. The best argument for firing him is you gain nothing by keeping him. Nothing. He’s tired, he sucks with youth, and the players have quit on him. The organization’s dignity is in the shitter. The identity is gone. Accountability is dead.

    Whereas that’s not necessarily true with the next coach. He can restore some semblance of standards.

    For the record, all 3 of the coaches should be purged, not just Sully. Well, you can keep Quinn if all he does is run the PP, but they would never do that arrangement. So he’s gotta go.

  3. I’d also add that the road back to any sort of competitiveness starts with the coach…so it’s not like we get all the players we need and then change the coach. No. It starts with the coach that can preach the right things. So if you wanna be competitive tomorrow, you change the coach today (since we already missed with changing him yesterday)

  4. I have another proposal – how bout we do tank (since I dont believe in miracles and this season cant be salvaged), but we do it with the new coach blooding the youngsters from the Baby Pens.
    I’d rather face losing stemming from inexperience (and gaining valuable experience from that) than losing coming from indifference
