Yay. Now Starling can retire and be head coach!
Wow, they are really doing everything to try and get me to renew.
What's the report on Taylor? Am I wrong in assuming that you guys aren't particularly pained to see him go?
He was trying to set a play style that didn't fit the makeup of the team's skill levels. I'm sure it'll be fine in the AHL.
Actually, he's a good coach, but severly overtaxed due to few assignments from the AHL and injuries. He's been so busy trying to find players that he hasn't had time to teach players what to do. I really think the team put way too much on him to truly succeed.Quote:

I'm not baseing the "good coach" comment on the previous 2 seasons, rather his tenure in the ECHL as a whole. And yes, he's had a hard time getting talent to come to Ontario, and the Kings haven't really held up thier end of the bargain on that either.Quote:
