Aaron Musick: Avalanche roundtable: search for the next coach
Who will it be?

First

How about Jacques Martin?

What's Quenneville doing on your cover? Does the new coach have to sport a stache?

basing my choice only on the write-ups given by the bloggers i' have to say the Hartley argument was the strongest.

Quenneville for Statsny!

What about Ron Wilson?

i think that Roy is still a little raw yet for the nhl!

Nolan

Q? You can have him back, will even throw in Olesz. Enjoy.

I knew at least one Hawks fan would throw this out there.

I have to admit.. If Bob Hartley was available I would be on that band wagon in a heart beat. Aaron you make a really good argument for Quinn as well but it's hard to beat the Hartley argument.

No. 1 Hartley

No. 2 Quinn (Especially after reading that, Nice.)

No. 3 Sacco Stays..

No. 4 Roy (Nice write up Cheryl, I seem to be saying that a lot lately. You have been on a roll.)

Kevin got ME on the hartley bandwagon with his post. Very convincing argument he made.

I had to go look up what he is doing now to see if there was a chance..

"On March 14, 2011, Hartley signed a two-year contract to coach the ZSC Lions, replacing former Team Sweden coach Bengt-Ake Gustafsson, the man behind the bench for Sweden’s 2006 Olympic Gold Medal in Turin."

(I am guessing we would have to buy out his contract..)

As in we make the playoffs so Sacco stays? What is not an option?

Hawks fans looking to get rid of Quenneville are goofs. Q is the man!

Quenneville for Statsny!
- powerenforcer

Ruff and Darcy Regier for Statsny!

I still like Quinn. As long as its not Ron wison or Sacco I will be happy

sacco stays, sorry i wasnt very clear about what i was talking about haha. i think the only way he should stay is if we make the third round!

I couldn't disagree with Cheryl more. Roy was so good because of the way he saw the game and his hockey sense. He has a mind and passion for hockey very few have. Its the same as why gigure is so big in the locker room He coaches that way in major junior because he' knows that's what wins at that level. A fast skilled team. Kind of like the new NHL and he obviously knew how to win in the old style NHL too. And to make him even more perfect for the youngest team in the league, he is use to coaching young men and knows how to reach them. Hes a player's coach who is us to motivating and developing young future stars. Sign him up today please.

How about those Flames?.. I guess 4-3-3 is pretty much just as good as 6-4.

FN BS.. 12 loser points

My choice would be Lindy Ruff. He will be the best coach available this summer.
