Donny is smart and creative. Looking at the list of successful coaches that never played in the NHL, they are all extremely demanding hard *****. So far Donny is not. I for one think that DG looks to be maxed out as a coach for this team. DG has to demand more and make them pay when they don't play right. Most players want that and they thrive on the higher expectations. He will be given another year so we are going to see.

Mitts is playing for Bednar, who also never played in the NHL either, and he had the same amount of AHL coaching experience as Meatballs. There are many great coaches that never played in the NHL. Ken Hitchcock's team beat Lindy Ruff's team for the Cup. Hitchcock never played past youth hockey leagues, never even at Juniors level. Ruff played 691 NHL games. I am not saying Meatballs is a good NHL coach, I am saying your reasoning is wrong and there are numerous examples to prove it.
