Poll: Is Duchene right about Sacco?

There hadn´t been such a big honesty from the Avalanche player for years. Matt Duchene confirmed to Denver Post what the atmosphere was under Joe Sacco´s regime like. He didn´t hesitate to talk about the infamous doghouse. Players were forced to do what simply didn´t work. They have skills for something else, but they couldn´t use them due Sacco´s strict tactic. Coach was never willing to make a change in his job. He has never admitted a mistake.

That’s a testimony of the best NHL player in the present - according Don Cherry´s opinion. What do you think about this criticism of coach Sacco who is now with Buffalo Sabres as an assistant coach and their performance is really bad? Is it right to talk about the past and the atmosphere inside the locker room? Vote in the poll!
