Scent of a Woman. Really? If you want to compare playoff decisions look at last year against Washington.

I’ll elude to the playoff series vs Pittsburgh as well. To correct you, not one thing you said was Renney’s fault. You blamed Renney for losing the series. The Rangers had a meltdown in game 1 – how many times have we seen the Rangers play nonchalant hockey? There is little the coach can do when the players lose an edge in their game. “Benching players” doesn’t help. I don’t recall what transpired but if you’re correct about the timeout, then fine. Sometimes the coach feels no need to call a timeout right away. You only have one in the game to use. Many great coaches have lost games when their team is leading by 3. Technically every game is a winnable game so I don’t know where you’re coming from there, but to blame the coach for losing is absurd. Have you ever blamed a player?….. yes Hollweg apparently, and he was playing because to win a game you need to play 4-line hockey. That was something Renney did, and there is no fault in that. Sometimes a player does something out of the coaches control.

What are your other “million stupid decisions”? And how would you compare them to other decisions supposedly better?

Anyone can blame the coach for anything. You can blame the coach for every goal scored against the team, but you don’t. Others are at fault more often than not.
