Seems he's got more important fish to fry at the moment...https://www.tsn.ca/former-dallas-stars-coach-jim-montgomery-calls-firing-wake-up-call-1.1421978
Only problem with alcohol.
Jim is now at rehab and I think we should really sign this guy. Stars were doing absolutely great under his system.
He was fired after a 14-1-1 record the team was going.
We know it won't be Mike Keenan, Mike Babcock, Bill Peters, Montgomery, Sutter, Marc Crawford, and there is many more. We need a coach like Trotz or Cassidy. It will certainly be interesting what other coaches get the boot this year. I wanted Gerard Gallant before he signed with Vegas.
Fyodorov is GM of CSKA, the KHL champions last season.Fedorov
I'll be honest, I think Trotz is a great coach, however his teams are not fun to watch at all, which I why I would prefer a different coach.
Was just to about to ask whether we were potentially interested in Laviolette.Laviolette plz
All depends if Yzerman had him on a short list of hires to guide us through the rest of the rebuild or not. If he was, he'll probably at least ask if there's interest from Laviolette.I don't see the point in making a change right now. Just run the clock out. Now in the offseason, sure.
Custance brings up Islanders Associate HC Lane Lambert
If Yzerman were to do the same, one name surfacing within hockey circles is New York Islanders associate coach Lane Lambert. He has head coaching experience in the AHL with the Milwaukee Admirals. He won a Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals. He’s part of a staff under Barry Trotz that continues to overachieve with the Islanders. He also was Yzerman’s roommate when the two were kids trying to make it in the NHL.
“He’s had incredible success in Washington and New York, and he’s very well thought of,” said one NHL source of Lambert. “I think Lambert is the next guy to get a job.”
