That team hasn't been the same since the Bruins beat them for the cup, but I feel like he's the fall guy here.

Totally disagree. That team definitely needs changes to its roster, but the biggest thing it needs is a culture change and he was every bit as much a contributor to the diving, whining, arrogant team identity that cost them the cup in 2011 as any of their top players are. He has enabled guys like Kessler and Burrows to play like dirtbags for years and it's high time he's gone.
