Not off to a stellar start this season. Maybe a coaching change wasn't the answer. I'd like to hear from those who screamed for a new coach last year. What's up?

The coaching change was needed but one must give him time to turn this team around. It will not happen over night. These boys have gotten into many bad habits one of which includes not coming to play every single time they hit the ice. Giving half of their potential will not give them wins. For those boys that do not step up their game they will need to worry what will happen come trade dead line!

It should go without saying that you can’t make a decision on a coach or a team 9 games into WHL season. Try and be fair.

we'll see what transpires. See you in 2 months. Should be enough time for an assessment, right?

Coach?

The best coach can only coach what is presented to them.
Maybe some of the draft picks haven't progressed into the players the GM thought they would.
Hardwork can only carry a team so far, there has to be skill with your goal scoring players.
A revolving door of coaches will only do more harm than good as players then balk at joining a organization that does that.

Not enough skilled players yet. We are a Year away and Can’t rely on Ridley and Ben to carry a team although they are good players. Great kids, they are working away it. Unfortunately minus a few players it looks like too many guys qualify for 3rd and 4th lines all night. They will be okay. The start has no bearing on Lowry. Give him some time he’s a proven coach and winner.

Wheaties will turn it around, just got to get through this big road trip. Once Patera gets healthy again and gets in his groove the Wheaties will put some wins together.
