You don't have a press conference to announce you're keeping your coach. It's role change or a complete parting of ways.
- jstross

They do have a press conference every end of season, though, and Hextall has been scheduled to speak to the press on Wednesday since the season ended on Saturday.

That doesn't mean that he's not making a coaching change, but it doesn't guarantee he is, either.

Either would be fine. Tippett is a man-god. McLellan, I like the way the Sharks played with the puck.

As long as our next coach isnt Bylsma or Coach Tortellini, I promise not to throw myself on the floor in a completely childish and undignified tantrum. (although many of you would probably be amused to see such a thing)

For my money, I liked the Lindros/Brind'Amour/Hawerchuk/Otto combination.

McLellan, San Jose coach, supposedly they have agreed to part ways, mutually

Who would pass a bar exam Rinaldo or Berube?Sometimes a guy who can appear as a simpleton can surprise you

Yup, solid.

I do think that Clarke/Macleish in the mid 70s and Lindros/Brindamour in the mid 90s were, by far, the best 1-2 punch up the middle in team history.

Well, it's been fun talking about who we should draft but I'm starting to believe the Coaching Class is far more interesting.

Tippett

Nolan

Oh yeah, Clarke is obviously a HOFer and MacLeish was a fantastic player. Combined with Lindros(who should be in the HOF) and Brind'Amour (who honestly deserves some consideration)it's hard to top that unless they end up with McDavd and Giroux

Mind. Blown.

Tippett's never been to a SCF either. I keep reading the LA guys (Blogs and MSM) and they are adamant Sutter isn't getting fired. On guy said Sutter could burn down the arena and run over all the players with his car and not be fired.

I have no interest in Nolan-he seems like a slightly better version of Berube.

His hair looks like a helmet. I'd think the PR team could make Mclellan hair for the fans at games

The presser will reiterate that Berube is going nowhere. Which isn't actually true... But they just want Vinny to believe it.

I believe that's the name I gave LeCavalier.

Ah. I see. I call him La Cadavier.

Tippett strikes me as the same game changer Hitchcock and Laviolette were for this team. The Problem is Tippett has had terrible teams but still managed to make the most with them with a pretty decent turn around.

Sutter shouldn't get fired. I find it unreliable and unacceptable behavior by a group that simple underachieved and can't seem to own up to it.

You might be right about Nolan.

Nope, both are solid prospects.
