Depending on who the replacement is, of course.....

That's why I said 'might'

I thought your money was out?

Re: It's Like a Dark Cloud has Lifted....

It was out if MacT was still here at the draft.

How do you spell backpeddle?

Yeah, but you're going to be seeing more of the same old, same old, same old under-achieving, over-paid Prima Donnas next year. What will change?

It's like having a stuffed up nose, popping a bunch of decongestants, putting the tissue to the nose and blowing. Suddenly that, big nasty, green bugger in the back of your head that was clogging everything up suddenly comes free and you can breath again.
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH feels good.

No backpedal. That was the deal. End of story

Now we wait for the other shoe to drop.

The transformation is only 25% complete. The next step is finding a coach with proven NHL experience that will transform the team into one that is difficult to play against.

The line-up changes are the other 50% of the equation but can only be started one the new coach is in place to ensure the roster and the system are compatible.

The next two months will be very interesting. Hopefully, the soap opera doesn't deny the Esks the airtime they deserve.

I too remember reading that. I was giving them to the start of Training Camp (simply because if he was not gone by the draft chances are he was not going to be gone by TC).

According to Greggor, Tambo was "fired up" about making changes. That the kind of stuff I want to hear.

I am going to make a prediction, but I bet Penner will come to camp in great shape next season. DING DONG the witch is dead!!

Early rumor has Pat Quinn expected to get the job. Not sure how valid, here is the link:

With Jacques Lemaire deciding not to return to coach the Wild, two prospects expected to be considered for the job are former North Stars coach Pierre Page and former Toronto Maple Leafs coach Pat Quinn.

Quinn, though, is expected to end up in Edmonton. Page, who coached Berlin to two consecutive German League championships and Salzburg to the Austrian title last year, has Salzburg in the Austrian final again this season.

I guess when Buchberger takes over he can pick up some Mac-T pointers.

I wonder if Bucky will put Poo and Macintyre on the points for the powerplay? And isn't it about time that J.F. Jacques and Stortini were moved up to the first line?

Re: It's Like a Dark Cloud has Lifted....

At this point, I will fully support whoever takes over behind the bench, and give him the benefit of the doubt. It was time for MacT to go, and now I am looking forward to next year.

A few years to late, but I'll take it at this point.
