I don't think you give enough credit to Marc Crawford for how terrible a coach he is. It was Rommel vs Patton. A tremendous duel. Ottawa were actually trying to win to save face and still couldn't.
I wouldn't be so sure.At least they saved another organization from ever hiring him again. Awful.
Crawford versus Desjardins. Canuck and Kings fans have had the misfortune of having both these guys behind the bench. No idea how Crawford keeps getting jobs after that whole Bertuzzi-Moore fiasco. He must have a helluva PR agent. As for Desjardins, he was just terrible. Too old-school and set in his ways. The guy needed a program to remember the names of his young players. Kings knew the season was a write off so they went with someone who can get them a higher draft pick.
Agree with this completely. I hate when a coach gets credit for an elite prospect. People have used Patrick Kane as an indicator that John Hynes isn't bad. As if Patrick Kane wouldn't have been Patrick Kane if someone that wasn't John Hynes coached him as a teenager.Yea, I don't agree with it/believe either. As if an elite prospect like Matthews wouldn't of been that good under some other coach.
The best one of all was when they introduced 3x3 OT...He put 2 D-men out there, and was trying to "defend" in OT (until he finally figured out to put his best offensive skaters out there).
In a span of 2 years, the Kings have gone through 3 different coaches, and are about to get their 4th. Incredible that some King's fans are still blaming coaching after how awful their star players (Kopitar, Doughty, Carter, Quick) have been since the start of the season. Can't blame Willie D. for that.
I can't believe they are actually thinking of McLellen.
- I haven't seen any Kings fans blame the coaches for anything. The Kings were garbage all year under multiple coaches, that's on the players. It doesn't change the fact that Willie D is an awful coach to boot.In a span of 2 years, the Kings have gone through 3 different coaches, and are about to get their 4th.

trust me, no one wanted him hereThats the most Willie thing ever. Defending a tie is his specialty.
Don't say we didn't warn you Kings fans!
