The thing is, it is really out of character for hockey players to bash their former team. It almost never happens. And yet, with the Oilers, it happens again and again and again. If Pakarinen was the only guy who ever suggested that there were communication issues with McLellan, you could maybe put it off as simply sour grapes. But you've got Auvitu saying almost exactly the same thing, you've got Hall saying that Hynes talking to him one on one about responsibilities and role was something altogether new to him, and you even have Joe Thornton making a comment about McLellan's lack of communication while with the Sharks...
You're not seeing any developing players taking big strides under McLellan other than the superstars who figure it out on their own due to ample skill (and being the only players on the team who the coach permits to take any risks). That makes sense if there's very little being communicated in the way of instruction or correction. I wonder if Todd doesn't just expect his players are going to pull up the post-game interview on the website to get the skinny on what he thinks they did wrong...
It's time to move on from this coach.
