what ?????????

 

[henchman21]

I just saw this... wow.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Saw it on the Main board...if it's true, clearly there's a falling-out between the 2 parties. Either way great news.

 

[AslanRH]

Going to hike up to Montreal to join Radulov after all?

 

[Jarey Curry]

What could be the reason? Does Sakic have someone better than him?

 

[CobraAcesS]

Would have been nice if this happened while there was coaches worth a **** available.

 

[dahrougem2]

Wow.

Only means one thing: He and Sakic did not, and have not, seen eye to eye on things. And to be completely honest, this summer feels a hell of a lot like Sakic fixing the things Roy wanted done, and had done.

 

[JWK]

Great offseason for us

 

[Cousin Eddie]

WTF. Good news in a lot of ways but man I love Patrick Roy so much. He's honestly my hero.

 

[CobraAcesS]

I'm not celebrating until I see who replaces him.

 

[Nzap]

Hope Farrish leaves with him.

 

[henchman21]

Yeah for this to happen now and Roy leaving, there had to be some friction. I do wonder who they will hire... will Pratt take over?

 

[Mighty Makar]

Good!

 

[Freudian]

I don't mind. I've not been impressed with the way Avs play hockey under him, I don't like his player preferences and I don't think it's healthy to have a coach with big say in personnel decisions.

That said, I have no doubt I'll find something that will annoy me with his successor as well. It's just the nature of being a fan. Sometimes expectations are unfair on coaches.

 

[TheFactor]

I feel like im dreaming. WOW.

 

[BaconNater]

Whoa just got goosebumps. Super weird I hope it was nothing bad. Wonder what is happening to us now.

 

[henchman21]

There it is.

Seemed to me the Pratt hire made for 3 bench caliber assistants on staff. Would anyone be shocked if Farrish stays that Army gets the nod for the year as interim HC. Guy survives like a cockroach.

That he hasn't done a good job with the avs?

Wow.

It has... I mentioned this a few weeks ago. Take his toy Holden, not getting the guy he wanted in the draft. Probably, some other transactions he didn't like. All I can say about Sakic is that C/B or whatever grade people were giving him needs to be an A now.

All he has to do now is get an EXPERIENCED coach from OUTSIDE this organization please.

 

[Jarey Curry]

I'm not celebrating until I see who replaces him.

This. Who on earth does Sakic think he's getting to replace him?

MacFarland LOVES Pratt. Out of who is around the organization now, I'd put my money on Pratt.

this.

very mixed feelings right now.

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Wow.


This is nuts.

John Stevens isn't leaving LA right?
