There is no way in the world you can put the coach of the first place team in the league and the last place team in the league in the same category. I really don't care about your reasoning, it's wrong. If the coach was as bad as you feel, the team would not be where they are right now. Plain and simple.

In order for a team to be first, everything and everyone must be clicking. That includes, staff, that includes players, that includes systems. If the coach is wrong, well than the players are just as wrong because they're buying into it. If you disagree, you're wrong. Plain and simple.

Just saw this now ) but I certainly can when said coach has a proven track record time and time again of helping teams massively overachieve in the regular season and choke in the playoffs. The Ducks have the most comebacks in league history when trailing at any point in the 3rd period. Thats not a good way to play hockey the Ducks also have the 29th ranked Goal differential in the second period, not to mention idiotic coaching moves like playing Clayton Stoner over much better options, juggling lines every single game never letting chemistry build and not fixing one of the worst powerplays in the league despite having some of the most talented players for it. Boudreau has set this team to fail yet again same way he has every single season he's been a head coach in the NHL and I see little to no chance of us making it out of the second round despite having one of the top three rosters in the West. I'm actually kinda hoping for a first round loss so we can get rid of him.
