Carlyle is a better coach than Bruce Boudreaux
Ciara Durant – Fold. I understand fans were upset by the “Game 7 curse” but, how can you deny that Bruce was a wonderful coach. He did lead the Ducks to four consecutive division titles! I think his skill set as a coach was better utilized in Anaheim than RC’s.
Greg Johnson – Call. I like Bruce, but he got out-coached too often in big games. Randy is a fossil who should retire.
Blake Navarro – Fold. I thought it was wrong to lose Bruce. I think the front office overreacted after that first round exit to Nashville.
Jacob Robles – Fold. Bruce Boudreau knows how to utilize the talent he has in front of him well. It’s unfair to judge his coaching abilities solely on playoff issues, but he seems like more of a progressive thinker. If something’s wrong, he’s not afraid to tinker with things to see if they work out. He rolls with it and Carlyle does that as well but he always seems to just revert back to something he had prior and it’s confusing.
Ed Stein – Raise. I’ve written about this before. Boudreau prooved that he can’t win when the stakes are high. He was consistently out coach by the guy behind the other bench. I don’t feel that way with Carlyle as head coach.
