BREAKING NEWS - LA Kings fired Daryl Sutter.....Might be a good fit for the new coach.
Lidster was let go too ( assit coach. ) bible thumper Doug Jarvis kept on the payroll.
I liked Willie D as he really looked like he was attentive & looked frustrated when losing.
He is the fall guy.
He is the leader of the team behind the bench but he makes less $$$ than the players. He can be fired anytime but some of his workers have long contracts & no trade clause.
Plus 21 players can be a big number against a lonely solo coach.
Coaches can try to crack the whip but players kinda laugh inside. ( we are more powerful than you. )
A coach I think should run very hard practises if he senses his team slanging.
Only weapon he has or benching players...
Willie was the nice guy & players took advantage of it.
As far as D Sutter goes ...he sure looks like a type who looks mad all the time.
Something tells me if the Canucks play soft & weak he would see it & blast the players.
Maybe he would be a good fit.
Canuck players need a coach that can take charge. Yell scream hard practises benching....& no favourites or nice treatment to higher rank players. ( twins for example. )
