Honestly, I would much prefer Chan Gailey here than more Lindy Ruff. Most critical player is your goalie. We have supposedly one of the top G's in the NHL and we can't make the playoffs. Now with Regier extended, Ruff is not going any where soon. This guy has 2 runs, one in 98 with Hasek, and one 8 years ago coming out of the last lock-out. No Cups, few playoff series wins, miss the playoffs more than make them and he is still here. He absolutely kills offensive creativity. Last Friday the Hurricanes game, he benches Grigorenko and plays Hecht more. Should be fired just for that. WGR and media is intimidated by the guy too, never question anything about him. Chan they would rip, this guy nothing
