Let me be the first to say that the Jackets signed the wrong coach for too many years and too much money
Good thing I read this before lunch...I will trade a first round pick to the Philadelphia to get Torts back.
Peel asked Button if Waddell was going to make a move to hire McLellan, Button said "He said he wants an experienced coach right? He says he wants somebody with experience there. I think the world of Todd. I'm a big Todd McLellan fan. I'm a big Todd McLellan fan as a coach and as a person. I think he's an excellent NHL coach. If Don Waddell goes and hires Todd McLellan, I think that would be a real significant start for the Columbus Blue Jackets."
Jeremy Roenick chimed in about McLellan and said "I'll tell you what, Todd McLellan was one of my favorite coaches. I only played for him one year, he was in my second year when I was in San Jose, he was unbelievable. He coached us to be the number-one team in the league that year. Obviously, we had a good team. But he has an amazing hockey mind and he just communicates with his players so well. I'm a big Todd McLellan fan. He texted me today, congratulating me, that's the type of person that he is. I would love to see Todd McLellan back in the game again, so I'll be rooting for him in Columbus."
Makes it increasingly easy to believe that he only got fired because of PLD. Which is easily understandable to anyone here, given that that's what also arguably did Torts in.They also went on to say that LAK was actually happy with McLellan and didn't actually want to fire him but they had to.
Hedger reported on Friday that there are three candidates. Today, Porty’s list of candidates has three names.
Don't see where Porty said the timeline but here
Well, one of your suggestions is already out.Evason or Quenneville should be the coach
Evason or Quenneville should be the coach
Watch the first 10-20 and tell me you don't want that guy coaching up those kids.
I'll give you Evason could be a good coach, but after what happened in Chicago and then what happened last season means there's less than 0 chance that Queneville could even be considered.
The article itself adds almost nothing new
Starts about the 53 minute mark.
Little older from before the draft, but nothing but rave reviews including from Jeremy Roenick. Amazing hockey mind and amazing guy
They also went on to say that LAK was actually happy with McLellan and didn't actually want to fire him but they had to.
He's gotta be the front runner right?
So how long until #coachkiller PLD gets Spencer Carbery on the watch list?Makes it increasingly easy to believe that he only got fired because of PLD. Which is easily understandable to anyone here, given that that's what also arguably did Torts in.
I give it a year or two, Ovie will retire and then the caps will completely fall apart under tank commander PLD.So how long until #coachkiller PLD gets Spencer Carbery on the watch list?
I miss those commercials. That and the Foligno one where someone orders a pizza and Nick just ignores them and tells them what pizza they are getting.
