Welp!

Weren't the Stars pretty okay for a couple of years before this? Was the problem this year coaching?

DA Part of the problem was injuries this year, but I definitely think coaching was also an issue. The special teams have been dogshit since last season but then we were outscoring the problems so if they don't also fire Curt Fraser, I'm gonna be pissed.

AYRT

Their problem this year was that they were a clusterfuck of injuries and bad defense, but the coaching didn't help. He's made some seriously questionable choices (Cody Eakin First Line Centre, anyone?) and didn't manage to fix any of the obvious problems. We also have a terrible, terrible power play. Like, worst in the league terrible.

I actually don't think Ruff is a bad coach, but his contract was up this summer anyway so it was a question of renewing it, and this season didn't play out in a way that suggested he deserved to be renewed. But here's hoping the sweep extends to special teams because those coaches have GOT TO GO.
