But the power play???
Say what lol
What a mistake. He was doing a good job where he was. Now another new coach in AHL? Why?
This is window dressing….I am happy for Thompson and rewarding success is important but this franchise needs real substantive change! Matthew Douche better start doing more than make roster moves stalling for time and rearranging the damn furniture or this team's direction will continue to be…going nowhere fast.
Thompson probably didn’t want to go up north and he did more than enough to earn a shot down here and if it doesn’t work out, UBS is always looking for employees
Rocky is being brought up to be Engvalls boxing coach.
Coaches don't mean shit players do
