Personally, players should sack the hell up. We all know Derek Roy deserved it, and now he's a 3rd liner on Vancouver. Unless it isn't warranted, players should just accept that their coach thinks they should do better. Richards had one point in ten games, while getting benched for two games (I think?) and getting reduced ice time, he still blew ass before that.
But players not flying out of town as soon as the coach talks bad about them on the microphone probably won't happen. So yeah, it's a good idea for coaches to shush up.
I agree they may deserve it, but it ruins the team chemistry. Other players may wonder if they are next. The coach needs the teams trust and he should have their back.
