he coached (head coach) jersey to the 2000 cup, stepped down due to stress, and later he was interim head coach for a little
- dmarsden2988

Stress then he really could not handle the coaching job in Montreal. Not as a head coach that's for sure.

There's gotta be some cool upcoming young coaching talent...
- Flyfreaky

Even the Flames had a promising AHL coach (Troy Ward) who was #1 on their list at the start of the process.

I like the picture of Therrien, it's like even he's thinking "Michel Therrien? really?"

well you guys had wilson and who knows how carlyle will do

actually weren't the leafs worst after he left?

Oh hey. Marc Crawford? I remember him....

I actually wanted Buffalo to fire Lindy Ruff and hire Bob Hartley last season...

that was my pick all long since we lost Dineen to Florida.

You say that... but you will regret it...

Old style of play... never fully develops young talent... hesitant to adapt to new game... changes lines almost daily... puts players in the doghouse VERY quickly.

Probably a wise decision seeing Bowman is about 80 nowadays

wasnt it his son running the hawks anyways wasnt he just an advisor?

Maybe, but what do you expect?

The collapse was in full swing. Nothing done at the deadline. Morale was down. New coach. New systems. New focus. Injuries were mounting. Young getting more ice time... etc etc etc

Leafs fans are very interested to see what Carlyle can do with the Summer ahead and with a fresh start in the fall.

never said it was just saying it would have been nice.

To tsn: Scott gomez & Thomas kaberle
To Mtl: marc Crawford and Ray ferraro

TSN gets the shaft in that one

ohhhhhhhh gotcha... okay.

Crawford, Therien , Roy ??

That's all they can think of, Roy hasn't even coached in the NHL, Crawford would end up like Melrose and Therien would be gone by Christmas

No thanks, I'd rather take Toe Blake over these 3 losers, even dead he's still better than them.
