He might have till he got involved in that boisterous letter to the league and fired all in a 24 hour period.
He wasn't "involved in that boisterous letter to the league."

Just the opposite, he and Gorton were blindsided by that letter (which came directly from the owner).

And I'm not sure what "getting fired" has to do with anything.

Other than that though, great sentence! :mrgreen:

Having said that, I don't want no Gorton or Davidson 'round here.

Jimmy and I got this...

Ridiculously cheap considering AV and Q and others are pulling in 4-5 million.

So that’s out the window. Will be interesting to see where the other coaches land and how much they are compensated

Stutzle with the hattrick, tonight. Jeezus what were the Kings thinking? In 2019 they draft Turcotte over Podkolzin and Hoglander and then this. Just brutal.

Aaron Portzline @Aportzline
The Athletic: John Tortorella won’t return as coach of Blue Jackets next season, per sources.

After six seasons, the winningest coach in CBJ history will move on when his contract expires this summer.

I see Lafrenierre is starting to pick up some steam, it seems like Ole Chefs tough love is paying dividends

Where did this Devon Toews come from, how come Doc didn’t put us into this Abbotsford native?

Hargraves suggested acquiring him in the past knowing the Islanders had to make a move. Irrelevant since we didn’t have the cap space or the picks to make it happen.

I thought it was just your mild obsession with NYI d-men - Dobson, Hamonic but it seems you’re right however I was worried he was a bit of a Garrison, Aucoin, Sopel type

I was a fan of Dobson long before he got to NYI.

Arizona Coyotes to part ways with head coach Rick Tocchet
BY ARIZONA SPORTS | MAY 9, 2021 AT 11:19 AM
The Arizona Coyotes and Rick Tocchet have mutually agreed to part ways, 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station’s John Gambadoro reported Sunday morning.

The Coyotes wrapped up a 24-26-6 season with a win on Saturday.

Tocchet departs having coached the Coyotes for four seasons, with a combined 125-131-34 and a single playoff appearance in the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 season.

His tenure included tumult outside of his control. The team’s majority ownership was transferred from Anthony Barroway to Alex Meruelo in 2019.

Things are getting ultra ugly in Buffalo. Looks like Eichel and the Sabers are heading for a messy divorce.
