Yeah, don't get me wrong. I actually like Keenan. Not sure if he would work here now, but he handles skilled players and strong personalities well.
And I hate to be the guy living in the past, but Darryl Sutter is probably what this team needs. Get back to basics and hard work. Hold everyone accountable. And he also had a knack for knowing when to press his team and when to bring some levity. If LA somehow lets him go, I hope we take a good look. It's virtually a different team than when he was here last with only Gio, Backlund and Stajan remaining.
Hartley was decent looking at his body of work with the team. There is no reason to think that last season wasn't just growing pains and that what the players really needed was continuity to get better. I said it at the time he was fired that this season would be a write off no matter who they brought in.
