On the hockey management side: Diddly.Squat.

Sounds like a brilliant choice

And just out of curiosity is running hockey Canada really something that gives you some kind of credibility as a premium hockey administrator....isn't it just a sort of ambassador role while you let real hockey men run the Olympic team, world junior team and world championship team

Don't look now, but Colorado's 2 points behind St. Louis for the division lead.

Could you imagine a St. Louis - Chicago first round series? Holy. Shit. That's a mini-Stanley Cup finals in of itself. Must-see TV. That could even be the best series of the whole playoffs.

Go Colorado go, I want to see that series.

I think any of the matchups involving those three teams would be great...Chicago vs Colorado sounds pretty good too, alot of talent there.

Jaro Halak tells me he never told #Caps Head Coach he didn't want to play against #stlblues. Halak says what's out there isn't true.
 
Re: Around The League: 2013 - 2014 Season

If Halak did suggest he not play, that was a great decision, he should be the Caps coach next year.

NHLonTSN: Farhan Lalji is told that Trevor Linden will be named President of the Vancouver Canucks today.

Sounds like Kris Letang will return to the Penguins' lineup tonight.

I want to see St. Louis - Chicago because I could make a legitimate argument that both teams could represent the West in the Cup finals.

And being able to watch that series when both teams are still fresh and relatively injury-free? Shiiieeeeeeeet...

Yeah, that Patrick Roy is awful. He's too much of a wildcard for Montreal. They should never hire him.

All the guy does is win.
 
Re: Around The League: 2013 - 2014 Season

Roy is looking good, but so did Paul MacClean last year. It definitely helps when you have elite goaltending.

I want to see how good his teams will look like in year 3.

There are so many coaches who have a great first year and then fade.

He apparently wanted a say, whatever that means, in trades. I can see why MB passed.

Say hello to your new TML coach. Probably a great fit too.

Good coach, but wouldn't say great fit - he's defensively oriented the Leafs are not defensively aware as a group. Nothing says, Nonis or whoever the new GM is won't overhaul the players to fit Trotz...
 
Re: Around The League: 2013 - 2014 Season

There will be a lot of coaching vacancies this off season.

Toronto, Vancouver, Washington possibly, Ottawa maybe, Carolina,

Trotz will be sought after

And that's why he'd be a good fit. That team needs some defensive structure.
