What happened to Ingram? A lot of bad games this season already.
Quenneville is one hell of a coach. Not a fan of McLellan but his record speaks for itself.Moving the coach talk here so it's not buried in a random GDT.
10 names I came up with. Not all endorsements, just who I could see being a possibility. I don't think AHL heads or NHL assistants would be available right now, and it does not make sense to go back to the junior route in this circumstance.
- Joel Quenneville
- Gerard Gallant
- Darryl Sutter
- Bob Hartley
- Jim Montgomery
- Todd McLellan
- Guy Boucher
- Mike Sullivan, if fired by PIT
- David Quinn, if fired by PIT (Asst Coach)
- John Tortorella, if fired by PHI
Maybe he played over his head last year? Much like Veggie did the year before.Anyone here a goalie or at least knowledgeable about why Ingram is playing so poorly this season?
Why can't he hang onto a job more than three years?I really like Gallant.
Elite Prospects is showing rumors of Keleman and Koch getting moved. Looks like Keleman is heading to Czechia. Maybe Koch too?
Not sure how accurate Elite Prospects is on the rumors so maybe a large boulder of salt?Koch's out, eh?
That could help.Schmaltz moved to third line….
Bear says it’s to take some pressure off him.
Like they say, if you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen. Look, I like Schmaltz, but if he can't handle the pressure on being on the first line, there's the door. If Bear would have said we have to mix things up to get a few players going would sound better. That could go for Crouse as well. I do like those lines though.Schmaltz moved to third line….

He's not saying the pressure of being on line one Jakey, what he's saying is that he's got pressure from his drought and being in a third line role relieves that and can help reset his game. The pressure comes from Schmaltz himself and is between his ears.Like they say, if you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.
