Word has it that there are 3. 3? Yes, 3, coaching finalists for the Isles coaching position. We'll see how correct it is. But, I'll stand by the scoop which I had back this morning
The 3 I have are:
Bob Hartley (former Avs and Thrashers coach)
Paul Maurice (former Carolina and Toronto coach)
Scott Gordon (AHL coach of the year)
Expect the official choice to be made early this week. Probably Tuesday.
Who is it? You got me. But if I was a betting man....
Scott Gordon, AHL coach of the year of the Providence Bruins.
Now onto this mornings Open House:
The open house was a good showing of fans. Garth Snow, Bill Guerin, new Director of Communications Seth Sylvan, Josh "IslesTV" Bernstein, Corey Witt, Chris Dey and of course, Doug Weight & Josh Bailey were all on-hand.
I went back to the locker room, dragging my co-Blog Boxer Dee Karl with me. We met with Doug Weight and Josh Bailey. The following is our interview with Doug Weight . . .
