Thread: what coaches YOU think are running out of time?

Vigneault, McClellan, Laviolette? or Sacco, Deboer, Tortorella? will Edmonton ownership finally intervene, or are management going to get away with throwing another coach under the buss again?

the clock may be beginning to tick for Scarface over there in Tampa.

Although he can't be blamed for the way his roster has been constructed, Krueger tops the list.

HM to Sacco, Torts, Scarface, and Laviolette

Sacco and Laviolette.

On the GM front, Regier obviously, but I also think its time that Homer gets the boot. If that happens, say goodbye to Hextall.

Tambellini as well.

With the offensive talent he has, and the record the Bolts have right now, I'd say Boucher should have his bags packed.

Too premature to fire Boucher. That isn't a great roster he's working with. Very top heavy.

Vigneault seems to be on life number 7 out of 9.

McCLellan might go though I think a Doug Wilson firing is long overdue. What has that guy brought to the Sharks that Lombardi didn't do better? And please don't say Joe Thornton.

HF peeps want Krueger gone but let's be sensible. He's not a babysitter.

Laviolette will probably go sooner rather than later but again, Homer has never addressed their most pressing issue.

Torts' biggest problem is that he insists that his players play a 6 man goalie system which decimates their lineup. That and the fact that he's dealing with unrealistic expectations for his team. If they make the playoffs, I think he's safe.

It'll be interesting to see how long Oates will last in Washington. I know one thing that for sure won't change. And that's what's going on in Calgary. Heehee.

Agree with Doug Wilson getting the boot, gotta figure Burke will be the replacement.

I can see Kekalainen wanting to find his guy instead of however is currently in charge of Columbus. Richards is his name right?

A few more games with this kind of Flyers will probably be enough for Snider/Holmgren.

I guess Tambellini doesn't mind taking a whack at another first overall pick so Krueger stays. The Oilers story is just bizarre. They have one of the worst GM's I can remember. If anyone could explain the relationship Katz has with and Lowe and Lowe has with Tambellini I would be much grateful. How can anyone tolerate that sxit?

See no reason why Vigneault would be fired. I think he is doing well with what he has and he's been doing it for some time.

I think Tortorella stays as long as they're in the playoffs. No reason to sack him in the middle of the season also knowing he's won a cup and took this team to the conference finals a year ago.

Anyone knows if Claude Noel sits safe?

And Sacco? I got nothing.

I was going to mention Oates, but the Caps have won 8 of their last 11.
