Thank you for the generous time limit!

haha, it was whatever the standard was.

honestly, I just made the quiz and I couldn't get all of them if you gave me 2 years.

Thanks to the head start here, I got them all.  Off the top of my head I can go backward to Sator, so I won't hurt PA's game by finishing off his list.

1. Imlach

2. Crozier

3. Smith

4. Pronovost

5. Inglis

6. Bowman*

7. Neilson

8. Roberts

9. Schoenfeld

10. Ramsay

*Counts only once but served multiple stints — Bowman, Neilson, Roberts, Bowman, Schoenfeld, Bowman, Ramsay 

11. Sator

12. Dudley

13. Muckler

14. Nolan*

15. Ruff

Can we just pretend the rest never happened and jump straight to Krueger?

Of course I mean Lindy Ruff.  Who do you think I am?

 

Question:  Does Nolan count twice, like Grover Cleveland?

Just for the record, Ruff sans Hasek only went to the playoffs 4 out of 10 years, and only won a series 2 of those seasons, and that was with a pretty good goalie.

It was certainly not “really good for a long time” under Ruff.

It certainly was.  Four trips to the semis (two without Hasek btw).  It was beautiful.  And I'm not blaming him for the fact that Quinn gutted the roster, either.

Four trips to the playoffs in ten years is not "really good" any way you slice it.
