Calling my doctor now. I know it’s gonna last more than four hours when this happens

 

[TheLegend]

So now Dreger reads F40.

Although my birthday was in April, I'll take this as a belated birthday present (although I would have preferred to receive it a year or two ago).

 

[Mosby]

This was obvious but it’s nice that it appears to be coming to fruition.

Sounds like Tocchet may have had a shot at an extension but that possibility ended with no playoffs.

Perhaps the players got wind of that offer and made sure it wasn't an option

 

[AZviaNJ]

Housley too, hopefully.

 

[Sm00chy]

Just became 179365x more excited for next season.

I’m still worried. I still think there’s a 33.34% chance he comes back. I hate it. But I can’t shake it.

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

Please let this rumor be true. That would be step one..most important step would be to hire the RIGHT coach for the job afterwards. I don't know exactly who but some good candidates are available.

Give me John Davidson as President and Mike Van Ryn as Head Coach.

 

[Matias Maccete]

I'll wait until it happens before I get excited. It's also really worrisome if it's true he had a shot at getting an extension if they limped into the playoffs.

 

[Mosby]

Housley’s deal is up as well so he’s gone too.

Don’t know Varady’s contract details. Don’t mind keeping him. Don’t mind starting fresh.

Hey Gang…. we may need an intervention to save rt from the rubber room.

hip hip hooray

 

[KG]

waiting for the inevitable craig morgan morale story
"but but muh roster deficiencies coyotes made tocchet the scapegoat"

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Craig will say this:

"Another whiff by a Coyotes franchise that has become synonymous with screwing the pooch. They have let a Jack Adams-caliber coach and fan favorite go, in favor of an uncertain future. Yet another top-shelf NHL coach, after Dave Tippett who was ill-served every year he coached here by poor rosters and bad ownership, set free by a franchise that can't figure out what it's doing. Good luck to Rick Tocchet, who will likely be in the playoffs next year while Arizona wastes another year in futility."

It may not be word for word, but I betcha that's what's going through his head.

 

[Mosby]

Given that the rumor is now out there, I wouldn't be surprised if the firing/walk away news comes as early as Monday now.

 

[Mosby]

Give me John Davidson as President and Mike Van Ryn as Head Coach.

This is interesting but I think I’d rather put all the money toward the coach.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Hey Gang…. we may need an intervention to save rt from the rubber room.

I believe that becomes F....275's problem, yes?

 

[Gwyddbwyll]

Man, I saw the words "Tocchet" and "Extended" and it was almost all over for me until I re-read it again.

Was so sick of Tocchet's dead man walking act - he should have been out a year ago after the Hall failure. Cant wait for a new guy to bring some energy to the team like Varady or Van Ryn.

 

[Mosby]

If Davidson happened I wonder if he would bring Tortorella with him.

Most likely because you are a hockey PSYCHOPATH!

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Seeings how the Pittsburgh press has such confidence in him, maybe an RT for Sullivan swap?

How good is Sullivan? Crosby, Malkin and Letang made RT look good..
