Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

Laviolette the next to get axed? They got smoked by NJD. Should have been their 7th straight loss, frankly.

 

[GGpX]

Probably, yeah.

I have a lot of time for Peter Laviolette and I think he's a terrific coach.

But his act wears out everywhere he goes. He'll get good results, then the team kind of gives up on him, and he gets fired.

He'll probably get another gig in a year or so.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Sounds like every head coach ever.

Was Scotty Bowman ever fired?

 

[GEEMAN]

Probably, yeah.

Will be very interesting how the Rags navigate this retool with big contracts on their books

Typically they get players wanting to go there but under different cap circumstances and Shesterkin needing a new deal

he quit us in a temper tantrum

 

[Habsy]

he quit us in a temper tantrum

Yeah but Grundman?

 

[GrandWazoo]

Was Scotty Bowman ever fired?

Amazingly never. He quit multiple times though.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Yeah but Grundman?

bad move for sure although Bowman's GM history is not very successful

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Yeah but Grundman?

Yes, but then he got to be GM and coach in Buffalo and he was terrible.

 

[CH1]

he quit us in a temper tantrum

He didn’t want to work for a bowling alley manager and Molson didn’t want Scotty to trade Guy Lafleur and rebuild

They wouldn't have needed to trade Lafleur if they had drafted Savard

Wow saw score early. The rebuild of a lifetime.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Lifetime of a rebuild.

When your foundation sucks...

Nick got hosed

Good. Another useless tournament in which he won't get injured.
