The Headlines segment in the second intermission of the HNIC broadcast touched on the likelihood of a coaching change and the possibility that Tyson Barrie’s Leaf career could be shortlived if things don’t turn around for the struggling pending-UFA defenseman soon.
Elliotte Friedman on the possibility of a coaching change:
If they don’t make a miraculous comeback in the third period… They’re supposed to fly to Vegas tonight. All bets are off. Anything could happen here, I think.
The one thing I wuld say is that up until recently, I think they really didn’t want to do it.
