AV could be the poster boy for the short shelf life of NHL coaches,
He is far more common than the likes of Trotz and Ruff.
Look at Torts in Tampa, Sutter in LA, Bylsma in Pitts and Carlyle in Anahiem all won a Cup in their first year, (maybe it was Torts 2nd)
Then look at AV in NY doing well again, his calm nice guy routine works great following Torts.
Does anyone really think AV will still be the answer in NY in 6 or 8 years?
I don't.
That said I would be very happy for him to win the Cup with the Rangers this year.
