i wanna say this team is gonna go off the board for a new coach, but that's never been their MO. Still think Alain Vigneault could do wonders in balancing this team out, he brings the low scoring type games to a team, much more focused defensively as most french-canadian coaches are, but does the MSG faithful really want 1-0 games night in night out?

i see Vigneault in NY and Lindy in Dallas, also, Guy Boucher is out there, guy got a bum rap in TB

I feel the same way about Vigeault as you do about Ruff.
Not sure who you're talking about as being off the board. But I don't see Sather going with a reach here.
I know Ruff was in Buffalo forever, but I just don't think he really ever had the horses to win it all.

Plagiarism.....but Golson made the right move when he got caught as he can be allowed back at ND. Now they'll have turnover Tommy back under center. Have to laugh at both ND and Gunner Kiel in this situation (as Kiel has transferred to Cincinnati).

Shouldn't be an issue for their team as their defense will still be towards the top with their front line that made Teo into a star intact. But their games they escaped with victories last year, may turn into hair-pulling losses this year.

As for sweeping things under the rug, ND is known to do such things, but I presume they exhausted all avenues before confronting Golson with the situation.

Oh yea.....GO HAWKS!!!

meaning they snag some up and coming coach from the AHL or something, ala Dallas Eakins.
Not sure why Tippett would want to leave that lax situation he's in in PHO for all the preasure in the world to win in NYC

paul maurice and marc crawford, gtfoh!!!!

would love love love love if they went for home run and signed Pierre McGuire, and got him out of the broadcasting booth!!!

That might be enough for me to start watching the WNBA.

Ownership situation is up in the air in PHX, his GM can barely go above the salary floor and he'd get to coach for fans that actually give a sh*t about hockey.

mo money mo problems....and aside from the ownership situation there, that team has made the playoffs a pretty good amount the last few years, and aint nobody on that rooster jumping off the paper at me.

means he's built a pretty good nucleus

* would someone inform Mike Keenan the rangers have availability already!!!!

Ouch.....B's played about as close to a perfect hockey game as has been seen opposite the Pens in a long long time. Boston has actually improved since the playoffs started. Give them credit for game 1, they just dominated.

really think people need to keep in mind the tomas vokoun factor.
guy has never been this far in the playoffs, and he's a plug for the le flour right now, i think the B's expose him big time this series

I think Joe Sacco could be a good candidate. I know Colorodo didn't set the world on fire, but they play a quick, uptempo style and had his player's respect.

[MaTH716]

The guy I want already has a job coaching the Flyers. I think he would be the ideal candidate.

One more year like this past one and he might be available for you guys.


Series of the playoffs so far was the SJ/LA, imo. Those boys were HITTIN' each other.

Great, great watch this postseason has been. Even though the Flyers got a big jump start on their golf swings.

this is the guy i don't get, the AVS go out of their way to pull him from obscurity, he did a decent job, yet gets canned b/c the youth movement can only do so much. Was Roy in the waiting when they initially hired Sacco?
b/c i don't hear this guys name ANYWHERE out there

with the way that team is playing Lavy will be available by mid-season this year.

btw: totally forgot about this "off the board" idea

OMG!!! I got a stick from him when he played for the Baltimore Skipjacks back in the late '80's

Haven't heard that name in ages - first and only NHL player born in beautiful Pasco County, FL.

Don't ask my why in the world I still have this.. name's tough to make out b/c its been taped over at least 600,000 times:
