Andy - I agree 100% with what you wrote about the organization and fan base being strong. But not about Armstrong. You really can't name a strong move he's made as a GM.....but you can certainly point to any number of boneheaded moves that have led to where this team is now. I've been calling this team out for no heart/character since the beginning of the season. It's just obvious to anyone who has spent a lot of time watching hockey. As for the team excelling in the first half.....bro, we are just a few games past the first half...I have seen no excelling. I've seen a few good games from them....but overall the effort and character of this team has been a problem since day 1.

This team will need to be re-built.....that means bringing in a new GM with a vision for the team and the assets it currently has. Armstrong can't get that done.....obviously.

I'm ok with letting Yeo have the reigns.....but only if it's done with the agreement of Hitchcock. He didn't create this mess. If you agree with that statement, then you can't possibly defend Armstrong.
