"We've got a good coach. We've got to continue to make our team better. We've got areas that we've got to get better in. It's not lost on us where the team's at. We live it every day. But I think we've got a real good coach. And that's not to say we don't change some things, tweak some things. We've done that over the course of the last couple of weeks."
"Savard's dismissal is perhaps the first step towards widespread institutional change, and MLSE CEO Keith Pelley will surely be overseeing the next stretch of games with a very careful eye. "Those are never fun decisions to make, or fun days. I want to make it clear that the decision of yesterday is not putting the blame solely on Marc Savard's feet. That's totally incorrect," Treliving said during his introductory statement."
"As for the anemic power play, there was some dispute over who will oversee man advantage scenarios. Treliving stated that assistant coach Derek Lalonde will take a leading role, while Berube said it will be a collective effort from the coaching staff."
Brad Treliving met with reporters before Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins and reiterated confidence in head coach Craig Berube. Treliving declined to engage in hypotheticals about coaching changes, described Berube as a strong coach and said the staff will tweak systems and pursue collective solutions amid the team's struggles. Marc Savard was dismissed, framed as a potential first step toward broader institutional change with MLSE CEO Keith Pelley monitoring the next stretch of games. Treliving emphasized the decision does not place sole blame on Savard. Derek Lalonde will lead power-play work while coaching responsibility remains collective.
