Confirmed with Link: Hartley Fired Discuss (also Cloutier)

[FlamesFan18]

Maybe it's a connecting flight to Ottawa.

Im not paying attention to Boudreau's reported travels, but the flight was yesterday morning.

Most of you guys are near my age, why aren't you bilingual at the min ?

I took french until grade 12 as an option. It's amazing how quick you forget if you don't use it. I think I can ask where the library is, but I wouldn't be able to understand their response. I still remember most of the words and phrases that would get me a slap or at the very least a dirty look if I traveled to quebec though. That might come in handy some day, you never know.

On the Randy Carlyle thing, DBU, you are right. i think it's just a case of covering all their possible options. A quick google search of him shows that one of the reasons he was let go from Toronto was their bad possession numbers. So that would make no sense from what Treliving is wanting in a coach.

When I was in school, very little french was taught. Grade 5, we spent maybe a month working on it? Probably varies between provinces, but Manitoba doesn't seem to teach much of it unless you go to an actual bilingual school.

So the names linked to Calgary's new coach include (so far)

Kevin Dineen (Gary Lawless)
Randy Carlyle (Renaud Levoie)
Bruce Boudreau (Eric Francis - speculation and/or naming best coach available)

Did I miss anyone?

Edit: on a side note, Colin Patterson was in the McDonald's drive-thru raising money for Ronald McDonald House Charity this morning. We chatted briefly about the Hartley firing, and I can confirm that he's not interested in the job.

Krueger, Playfair, Crawford and Wilson all mentioned in this article, though it seems more like Eric is stating connections to current Flames management more than any real insider information.

I have never been in a French class in my life.

How about Dana Murzyn

Ralph Kreuger? Chairman of Southampton FC? Not sure he'd want to leave that post to coach..

Former Oilers head coach, but eww. Might as well add Dallas Eakins to the list if we're throwing poop against the wall.

I had to take French up until grade 9. It's a requirement in Ontario.

It'll be interesting to see what happens in AZ. New GM, didn't make the playoffs, Tippett might be the next coach fired. If that happens, you have to think Tippett to Calgary makes all the sense in the world.

I haven't seen tippet with real offensive talent, if it's not the boring hockey he coaches in AZ I'd be very open to him.

 

[Calculon]

Tippett is extremely unlikely; he's looking at a promotion if anything.

12. Current Coyotes head coach Dave Tippett is expected to have a Patrick Roy-style role, with plenty of roster authority. When this is all over, it will be curious to see if whatever new contract he signs includes a succession plan for the head-coaching position. He’s been behind the bench in Arizona for seven seasons. Does he have any desire to move full-time into the front office (or presidency) at any point and allow someone like associate coach Jim Playfair to take over?

I took Spanish because I had to take a language so **** it from 6th grade up until I was allowed to drop it after 10th grade. What's odd is every year I took it I got in the high 90s and I could barely speak it at all.

I ended up dropping it because I said when would I ever need to know Spanish. What's funny about that statement is that my Mom's uncle, who is only a few years older than her and I think younger than my Dad said the same thing. What ended up happening is he fell in love with a Dominican women, moved to the Dominican Republic and had a kid who is now 27. His wife ended up dying of a disease and he remarried another Dominican women and had another kid. This wife was a ***** to him and his first kid so he divorced her and met Colombian women and married her, moved to Ohio and had another kid. So besides that story, I have an aunt who is currently 6 years old. What I think is more amazing is that not only did a Jewish kid from NY fall in love with three different Hispanic women and live in the D.R for almost 20 years, but all 3 women converted to Judaism.


Wow. Did not expect to go on that tangent!

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Well, that's to bad about Tippet. What about Lowry?

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

What about Lowry?

Lowry was a tirefire at the WJC. I don't even think this guy will be getting an AHL job any time soon.

I don't think the WJC is a good indicator for players or coaches. I've watched a ton of his Royals and he has gotten a lot out of them. (not that I think he is NHL ready)

Should not be a surprise to anyone. This management group moves decisively.

 

[Johnnyc60]

My buddy claims he saw Boudreau on a flight to Calgary, take it for what its worth.

Please not Carlyle

Tell your friend that Boudreau was going to Minnesota, not Calgary.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I think this means Hartley becomes a lead candidate for the Sens.

He's definitely a front runner.

Dater is the definition of hack. He's like Eric Francis, but worse.

Boudreau was playing golf with Gretzky at the time that was posted. He flew to Ottawa after.
