I'd say the best coach since Bryan Murray.
Murray was an unbelievable coach.
I look forward to seeing you win a Cup elsewhere. Lord knows it will be before this team ever does.
Doubtful.
Why? He will find another team to coach. That team will not have the lowest payroll in the NHL. It won't have an over-the-hill GM who acts as the team's "loveable grampa" and coddles the players over the coach, and it won't feature a handicapped roster or handpicked assistant coaches either.
As long as Melynk owns this team, we will win nothing.
Maclean already has a Cup ring from Detroit. He will probably go to Philly (where he finished his playing career) or San Jose (a simple replacement for McLellan in terms of system and style) and not be hampered by the most pathetic ownership/management group in the NHL.

And Dan Carcillo has a cup ring from Chicago... What's your point?
Solid comparison. A fourth line plug vs. the guy who actually was an assistant coach.
Well done.

Sens have an unbelievable coaching staff. Dave Cameron could easily be coach of another team. Reeds was coach of the top dogs in the OHL in Owen Sound and my boy Gemel Smith had nothing but unbelievable things to say about him. I think this could be the best coaching staff since MacLean, MacLellan and Babcock in Detroit. I was ecstatic when I heard Cameron would accept an assistant job here instead of head coach.
And even so at this time of year under Murray with that great team, his record was no better than thids years team.Murray had a Stanley Cup team under him as coach, Maclean had a revolving door of players.
Maclean is nothing without Alfredsson's leadership and great goaltending.
I will appreciate his first 2 seasons though. I like him as a person. Hope he finds another job, soon.
I hate that Time-Out gif
It was from "that game"
Which game?
Should have quit on the organization, would have made more sense for themPlayers quit on a fairly good coach.
