Dan Ladouceur out as Rock assistant
Team announced this afternoon. That Dan Ladouceur has been relieved of his coaching duties. So using Ladoucuer as the fall guy. For the Rock 0-5 start. Well sure the Rock have given up the most goal in the league 68.
However, the problems run deeper in Toronto. Questionable goaltending, lack of scoring up front. Injuries to key players plus age. The GM has done little in the way to fix these issues going forward. The coaching staff shares some of the blame as well.
Might be time to find a contempt GM. If Toronto plans to be competitive in the Eastern division going forward. Or the rebuild just might take that much longer.
Georgia 20 Toronto 17
Wild game in Toronto. As teams combined for 37 goals. Shayne Jackson 10 Pts (4g 6a) and Johnny Powless 7Pts (4g 3a) led the Swarm. Lyle Thompson had a ten point night. With two goals and eight assists.
With the loss the Rock drop to 0-5. Rob Hellyer 10 Pts (3g 7a) led the Rock. Time for heads to roll in Toronto? Start with the GM. With a couple weeks til the next game. Changes have to be coming in some fashion?
