Dave Tippett

Yote's aren't looking too good. I'm wondering if he is on the hot seat? I would love the Oilers to hire him.

I would too but MacT's track record has already shown itself.

 

[Aerrol]

We'll wait till its too late and then hire another rookie. Todd Nelson probably.

Tippet and Babcock are the cream of the crop. Babcock will be a leaf. Tippet should be the oilers focus.

I can't see Arizona firing Tippet and having to pay his salary. That said, if they did fire Tippet we'd promptly fire Eakins and then hire Messier to coach.

Babcock to the leafs huh, all locked up and everything I'm sure

You got a mighty chuckle from me for that curve ball.

Tippett beat Lowe in a charity golf game 12 years ago so no chance

Kevin Lowe holds grudges

Well the Coyotes just blew out the Caps in their own building. So much for that.

Curious what your definition of a close game is then? 6-5 is far from a blowout.

But I think that Tippett is safe and if he had to find a job he would have some nice options

 

[Blue And Orange]

Had the Coyotes lost against the Caps, I would be 80% convinced that he would be fired.

It was 6-3 when I made that post before the Caps got two late ones.

They still hung 6 on a Barry Trotz coached team. They still won a game. Something this team struggles to do on a nightly basis.

Hell the Coyotes started Dubnyk and still won.

 

[EnthusiasticYak]

Arizona would be stupid to fire Tippett, the coach is the least of their problems. They have 13m in cap space, that I assume they can't use because they're not making money as it is.

That's the equivalent of two star players.
