So everyone is calling for Tippet to be fired. IMO he should have called a time out. I don't always agree how he deploys the team either. I guess my question is who would you replace him with? Babcock and Torts would probably invoke a vomiting response.

I don't claim to know any answer in terms of replacement, but Tip's status would depend on where Holland thinks he's at in the win window, whether the team is assembled properly, and whether the team gets a sustainable bump from a different voice. If the team finds itself mediocre and outside a playoff position, I don't think Tip has much rope. New coach can't start games on time, and can't make those couple stops that are required in net though, so I don't imagine the coach is the only move here if Holland thinks it's time.
You have to think that where the Hart guys are at in their Edmonton careers play a hand as well. As a fan, though, I would trade fancy goals, Hart trophies, Art Rosses, and Lindsays for a team that performs, plays for each other and contends, in a heartbeat. Don't get me wrong, I don't want great players traded away, I just want a damn winning hockey team.
