Confirmed with Link: Jay Woodcroft and Dave Manson fired - no more Woody during NNN - Kris Knoblauch hired, Coffey as assistant

so yea it was the sharks loss that did him in, they just waited until the end of the road trip.

it only took rock bottom to get fired
 
In fairness to Sutter too, Gaudreau still raves about Sutter to this day as basically the coach that got the most out of him.

Western Alberta is simply way too far away from "home" for Gaudreau and especially I'm guessing his wife. They didn't want to raise their child away from family and friends, and fair enough.

And with Gaudreau out, Tkachuk wasn't going to stay.

Not much Sutter could do with that. McDavid is Canadian and there are no German NHL teams for Drai to run off too and both of their gfs are Canadian, so that isn't the same situation with us.

This is bullshit. Last night was the type of win that could very well get the team back on the rails. Colour me surprised if the replacement is anywhere near as good as the coach with the best winning percentage in franchise history. Hope in wrong.
 
Over a decade of firing coaches for organizational mistakes. I guess this shouldn’t be any shock that another coaches head rolls instead of the decision makers above.

Let’s acknowledge that Woody - in his first 100 games - took a flawed roster and was only knocked out by the most recent two SC champs.
