These are teams that have set the bar very high and demand more than just a good season. It's a high standard, but I'd love it if one day the Sabres could become a team with a bar set that high too. Paul Maurice is a good coach. It's a good hire. Boston's choice might be hinging on Bergeron. They can't decide if they want to go for it again (if Bergeron returns) or move into rebuild, and the coaching choice might be related to that decision.

Guess ownership/ management wasn't impressed with the way they slept walked through the 1st period of many games down the stretch. At least they didn't leave him stranded w/ no ride to Trudeau nor Mirabel. 😉 Maurice is a good coach. Curious to see how this works out.

Apparently so, from Wikipedia: On July 17, 2017, Campbell announced his retirement, but also that he would join the Blackhawks' business operations department where he will be assisting with various marketing, community relations, and youth hockey initiatives. 1 1

Consider there are fewer than 30 people qualified to be a #1 C in the NHL. Is it all that far fetched to think that people qualified to be good coaches at the same level are equally rare? 1

I wouldn't. He's definitely a me first guy, but if he said he'd love to play in Buffalo I'd be all for it.

It was thinly vailed attempt at some chunky soup humor, served in a big (really big) silver cup with a lid. The lid keeps it hot. 1
