I get why teams fire their coach but in the end the players are responsible.

The Oilers are not going anywhere until they give Mcdavid some players to play with
- Santo_44

they need a goalie.

Chia now has a coach and team in place for the 1999 season...

That's really all we have here...
- TrashPanda

Jets fans can just enjoy their team without the 24/7 cap talk. (And make no mistake they have major cap concerns).

couldn't get Quenneville, so got Hitch

Do they get Taylor Hall back?

BTW, is Ryan O'Reilly terrible luck?

Nylander and Matthews to Edm for McDavid, Rattie and Klefbom

The man is cursed.

CURSED I TELL YOU!

IT'S THE OFFER SHEETS!

Look at the facts:

Vanek, O'Reilly, Dustin Penner....

It all went downhill after they signed that offer sheet!

So here's a crazy idea:

Nylander for Stone.

Yes?

No?

(frank) off Max!

they need a goalie.

Connor McDavid = Coach Killer.

How many (frank)ing times must Hitchcock retire before he actually calls it quits?

They should have went with Bob Hartley!

PSSST.....Weber signed an offer sheet...

As i posted this morning before todd got fired.

Chia needs to be fired.

(frank) off Max!

I think there will be a mass exodus at the end of the season if they miss the playoffs, just like the Leafs did in the before times, the long long ago...

Hitchcock is a defensive-minded coach, right?

Maybe he can convince McDavid to give defense a try.

Oh shiet.
- Scabeh

I know.. Weber is due to suffer a long-term injury any day n.....oh wait..

I actually like the move.

Hitch is a helluva coach - and he's going to bring something that the young guns of Edmonton have sorely been lacking: discipline.

Sadly, this move probably comes 3-4 years too late.

wait what?

isnt that the GM then who needs to get the players?

The media doesn't even discuss the Leafs actual play. It's all about cap hits and who is leaving. I am so sick of it. I even have to hear there's no money now for Kapanen. WTF? Do the Leafs have a cap max of 25 million?

This is the only team in the NHl that could be first overall and not get their actual play discussed.
- RogerRoeper

Their play is good.
Cap situation, not so much.

He should be banned from making trades.

For sure.

I’m just saying when a GM fires a coach it gives fans and media a week to hope it’ll change. It buys PC some time to be employed basically

- Fakepartofme

This is bogus right now.

No one has a clue what these guys will be making. They could be willing to take less or will want to maximize their paycheque....there are plenty of each type of people in the NHL. We will find out soon enough what type of group we have.
