Ahokas should be in the talk for coach of the year. Traded Rehkopf, Brustewicz goes pro, Sop ages out. They lose Sale Mesar as well.

I go with Jussi as a nominee in the West. No idea in the East.
He got that group to buy in and achieve after trading a top F early and little expectations entering the season. Yes they did get help with some freebies coming over ( Pridham etal ) but the buy in and results were there previous.

Windsor has had an impressive turnaround for sure but it's Aldo a result of underachieving last year with thectalent they had.
 
That's always been an internal debate for me. Should the top team be the favourites, no matter what? Hunter is outstanding and full credit for what he's done to that program. However, if a coach brings Windsor from second last in the OHL to within stone's throw from the conference title, within a season, that has to be the frontrunner. Otherwise, wouldn't Dale just win it as long as the team is winning games?

Dale doesn't win it as long as the team is winning lol. Rarely has happened.
Who votes for coach of the year TG?
How many times has Dale won it? And when was the time? It's been almost 15 years lol. Thought media would know that.
I'd love to hear the argument he wasn't leading the best coaching staff with the teams success in multi scenarios in any single year over a decade and a half lol, winning alot and consistently over a 15 yr period.
Yes Spits turned it around in big way but also in part because of the Sh×× show last year where they were underachieving with a poor coaching staff and team environment.

Looking fir brownie points n access?

Great win against their hardest opponent this weekend. Abraham and Protas on fire. Nice to see Nesbitt pop a couple. I thought 33 seconds in, oh boy this is another horrible start. Thank God saggy didn't go up 2-0 early.

Side note today. Have to give props to Lardis. Another hattrick now 63 goals with 10 games left needs only 3 to be top 10 all time. Quite remarkable today's game style. No one has hit over 70 since the 80's except Lindros 71 and Tavares 72 17 yrs ago.
