I feel so bad for this dcorp. They leave it all on the ice, whether they're effective or not, and the fwds just float and cheat in their own end, non stop.
Do people think FA is the only owner who has anything to do with the team.he spends hundreds of millions of dollars on? I'd be going to talk to any prospective coach as well. I'd be more concerned if he didn't, he's the boss.
Of course he did or most of the deals he made (and gets flak for) expires in a year two, just when the young core will be starting their prime years. That's called a plan.
I have zero issues with the OEL/Garland trade. Both guys are solid players and they gave up very little to get them.
I just want a coach who will implement a structured system and style of play and that the players buy in. If tocchet can do that, I'll swallow that hatred
Tocchet is one of my all time most hated players and I don't like him as a coach either (to say nothing of the gambling issue), so it's going to be tough keeping an open mind about him, but I will
