Expand I think they like Sullivan a lot 1 Quote

He's been speculated about for years. Expand I dont know to be honest, since when did a NHL org hire a head coach with 0 nhl experiance? i think that is why. There are really good coaches out there in the hockey world, some org need to take the first step i guess. Edited June 7, 2021 by MODO Hockey Quote
Flashsabre Posted June 7, 2021 Report Posted June 7, 2021 Some interesting updates. The coaches from the WCs are probably Gallant and Nate Leaman, maybe Andre Tourigny as well. From the NHL they are probably hoping for Brind’Amour but Lane Lambert at the Isles would be a candidate too. 1 Quote

Not trying to pick a fight, an honest question. I guess my point is, until the team shows some reason for optimism, we can’t hardly blame people for being the opposite? This has been a nightmare skid for years. Expand I hear ya. It's easy to get in and stay in that nadir mindset. But, given this season's results, we have nowhere else to go but up. So, I'm not looking to fight either. I'm not as much of a pest as I was in the past, but I still like to think outside of the box. As for my snarky remark about hiring a coach who will eventually get fired, I got that idea from Bum Phillips. He once said that there are two types of coaches: ones that have been fired, and ones that will eventually get fired. 2 Quote

Hell at this point, I’d settle for someone without Premier League experience. I won’t pretend I have a clue as to which type of coach this team needs, but personally I’m at the point where I cringe everytime I hear the word “system”.
