Ironically, I would take Crawford as a replacement for Kompon. As long as there is no chance of him ever becoming head coach again...

Hmmm...seems like he's already been offered the job. I was going to ask: What's Jay Wells doing nowadays? Has he gotten any coaching experience?

He won the Calder Cup in 2005 with the Phantoms. And since it was the lockout, was the best team in North America that season...

And when he got fired people felt bad because he led "so many of these players" [that being the Flyers] to a Calder Cup, and it was so special and so sour it came to that. Upon further review, only three guys were on the Flyers, one of them was Riley Cote who doesn't play, and the other two were Carter and Richards who only joined in the playoffs....

Stevens bakes cakes. Do you like cake?

I'm totally laughing.right on..I think I'm more for him now....

That was a good read on Jay Wells.

I especially liked the Holt vs. Semenko story.
