How Do You Know It's Time to Fire an NHL Head Coach?

Locked On NHL - Daily Podcast On The National Hockey League

How do you know it's time to fire an NHL head coach? How can a GM tell when the coach has lost the locker room and when it's best to give that coach more time? We discuss this in light of last night's poor performance by the Detroit Red Wings in a game where they looked indifferent at times against the Philadelphia Flyers.

We also discuss recent decisions by the Chicago Blackhawks, Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues with regard to their coaching situations.

And, the Nashville Predators ended a franchise-tying eight-game losing streak with a big win over the Dallas Stars, how does this change their coaching situation?

And Trevor Zegras is hurt again, he had to undergo surgery earlier this week and will miss six weeks.

All this and more on today's Locked On NHL Podcast with Rachel Donner and Gil Martin.
