ShakyWalton Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Probably this guy or Stevens I would guess..Trotz is pretty much a lock for Washington...Canucks a little late to the party... Talks between the Washington Capitals and Barry Trotz appear to be heating up. According to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun, no deal is done but the two sides have intensified discussions about the head coaching position.

surtur Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Dat Stache though that alone means he will have 100% cooperation from the players. Plus when in a pinch the stache can play D or goal when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madness Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Seems like it'll be Desjardins or Stevens. Unless Bylsma is fired though. That could change things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Id like to see Stevens as head coach, because he's been taught great things under Sutter in LA. Then id like to see Willie as Assistant coach because he would be great at helping out Jensen, Horvat, Kassian and maybe Corrado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neversummer Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Wait a minute, did his years in Dallas cross with Gulutzen? If so, he was associate to Gully and now he might be head coach over Gully, interesting. Willie's resume looks a lot like Gully's. Not sure if this guy has enough experience. Maybe if we're patient and see this as a 3-4 year project but I recall Benning saying that he does want to turn this team around quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Gulutzan was kept on because he and Kassian really clicked, maybe it's proof Dejardins really is a guru with kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragoedia Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 The Hawks beat us 2/3 years in the playoffs. I have determined the secret to their success was not elite top level talent or balanced depth: it was Joel Quenneville's sweet stache. That is the only logical conclusion I can draw...!

"Bull" Horvat Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 yeah, find that connection between him and Gully kinda odd. What exactly do associate coaches do anyways on board for Stevens with better defense and under the wings of one the best coaches in the NHL and he himself has his own fair share of experience as head coach in Philly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
