Watching Renney coach was tiring and excrutiating...He also wished people gone; got what he wanted, got fired and threw the rest of the team under the bus....the team he wished for... To hell with him...he's not as nice a guy as he tries to appear. They were mediocre under both coaches…if you’re mediocre at least play exciting…

To hell with him…he’s not as nice a guy as he tries to appear.

He had the same hustle, the same grit...he showed the same intensity, same skill level, same finishing touch. He was the same player under Tortorella that he was under Renney. The only difference is he was getting more ice time. Callahan’s numbers down the stretch were consistent with the rest of the year.

Your argument falls apart when you look at Callahan’s numbers down the stretch. And that is a fact you can’t deny.

Hey...I'm not Married to the guy...give him a full year and we can argue again thats all... in the meantime lets start a Fire Sather campaign I'm not gonna say that this blog got Renney fired but the stream of anger was evident only here for about two months until it bubbled over in the media at the very very end...

And elevating a player's ice time isn't the same as elevating their game. No one under Tortorella suddenly looked like a new player. No one took their game to that next level. A few players did however look worse, if not completely invisible at times. That's a fact that even his staunchest fanboys can't deny.
