A couple weeks ago Nashville Predators Head Coach Andrew Brunette "begged" his players to finish hard for pride and professionalism. The players have either half-intentionally or inadvertently given their answer through those subsequent games. Most organizations would have fired Brunette not for the losses but the message: He has lost this team. Last year Brunette did wonders with kids coming up during the tail end of the season. He's good that way, but he then tried to coach a more veteran team the same way. Terrible idea and worse, he stuck to it. Barry Trotz: Swalliw your professional pride. Fire Brunette. Barry, we still love you.
