We are finding out that he might not be a great coach.
That said, he actually dumped the Staal Reinhart pair pretty quickly to get Hall and Eichel going. Skinner skated 14:30. That's not enough. To be effective he needs 16+ minutes and better frigin linemates. The sad thing is he hasn't been rewarded for his good play and that is unforgivable. If you want a guy to play 200 feet and he does, he needs to be rewarded. Yes he got some L1 shifts when Hall went out, but his crappy line remained intact when Hall returned. Enough
He also needs to acknowledge that at least one of Lazar and Sheahan need to be replaced by someone else to add offense.
