Go ahead, fire Schwartz if people want. Unless you expect the goalies to get shut outs ever game, it won't make a damn bit of difference. The team is flat out not playing well and their effort level from McD down is garbage.


There are definitely lots of other things wrong with this team. Not sure that is an excuse to let this guy with 100 lives stick around and oversee every goalie we have regress though. Just makes no sense for him to survive 3 GM's and half a dozen coaches while getting only negative results. Only goalie that survived him was a 39 year old Mike Smith that was completely set in his ways.

Schwartz is just becoming a shining example of how unserious this org is at doing the best they can in every aspect to try to win.

If people want to make him a scape goat, then sure go for it. I won't lose any sleep.

I watch the Oilers and I see a puck go in corner, the Oilers dman is first too it and AHL/NHL tweeners on the other team come out with the puck over and over again. Then they fire it out to the slot to an open guy and he rips it top corner. If the defender does his job, gets the puck and realizes that this isn't U11 hockey, you might have to try a little to keep possession, the play never happens. But if you want to point the finger at Schwartz, then sure. Go ahead.

Or they don't rim the puck and give up 2-0 breakaways. Or they tie up a stick in front instead letting a forward stand there and tip it in. Or on the PP they don't try to pass through a guy and give up an odd man rush. Or they hustle back on the back check instead of dogging it and let the guy walk down the slot unchecked. Or they don't have the puck on their stick on a routine play, fumble it then fire a pass on the tape of the opposition to let him walk in.

But I get. Schwartz has been here a long time. People need someone to blame other than their fav players so if firing the goalie coach makes people feel better, have at it. I don't think it helps what their problems right now are which is mostly effort but maybe it's worth a shot.
