Anyway, on the topic of coaching preferences, I really like Dale Hunter despite the probability of Hynes just being promoted. I think there could be a serious look at him with our better prospects playing for London and thus the organization familiarity. That could be just wishful thinking on my part.  |
Hynes would be a mistake because you don't need a coach to come in a loosen the chains of a fired disciplinarian. You need someone to come in and re-introduce structure and discipline to a team that has gone back to this organization's country club days.
In terms of record, you need to be a minimum of .500 in a month, or it's panic time.

They fired Therrien on the road. Bylsma drove from WBS to the Island, I believe, to coach his first game.
