I can't believe I have to write this, but there are people on the internet who are coming for Barry Trotz after this poor stretch of hockey from the New York Islanders. Firing a top-three coach in the league because a team lacking talent is struggling is the epitome of a panic move.
Yes, it's no secret the Islanders have been struggling over the last two months or so. When a team struggles so badly it's easy for the fans to look for a scapegoat. Lou Lamoriello gets a bunch of the blame for this roster, underperforming players, and even injuries are to blame for this lack of success.
