Calgary had no shot at Trotz IMO. I think his Isles deal with Lou was pretty much in the bag.

IF Peters no longer coaches, Ward will likely coach until the end of the season.

Carcillo tweeted:

I’ve been getting numerous messages out of the @TheWHL about an abusive group of men who are considered @HockeyCanada royalty, The Sutters

I have personally witnessed the abuse first hand when I played for Darryl with the @LAKings

More to come...

Looks like Laviolette may be a little emotional too.

We should just go with an interm coach until we know who's left standing.

Ward may as well have it his way, but likely:

"Guys we're going to try and maintain consistency until we know for sure ol Cross Burning Bill is gone for good. So with that in mind...”

*Punches Gaudreau in the solar plexus.

Ward makes sense, especially since he was close to getting the job before the Flames went with GG.

With any luck, we'll get a Berube Bump and turn things around under Ward...if he does well, he could very well be the next coach...

[Samonadreau]

Maybe its been mentioned already but will be interesting to see how Lindholm and Hanifin do under a different coach. Hanifin has only had Peters, Lindholm since his second season.

Even if they didn't fit they would be the hardest working team, Sutter teams don't take nights off. He would have Rittich standing on his head stealing games while playing with 1 goal leads.

Coaches at every level and the NHL must have their heads in their hands waiting for the next public outcry about coach's behaviour over the last decade or so. I'm sure that every coach that has stood behind the bench could be found guilty of some form of bullying at some point in their career. Don't get me wrong, racism in any form is completely out of order and should be dealt with heavily.

But where does bullying start and end? I coached for a number of years and motivating players is tough. Even at youth level, some kids need kid glove treatment, some need a sharp talking to. Nowadays, who in their right mind would want to be a coach where the slightest problem with a player could now see them brandished as a bully or worse.

No matter who leads a team, there will always be someone who isn't happy and they can make a coaches life hell. I'm sure that the coaching issues that have come out over the last couple of weeks are just the tip of the iceberg and it could result in a major defining moment for the NHL.

Ok, Gelly can stay too.

Are we the gawd damn oilers? Are things THAT bad? You can level with me...

Jamie McLennan and Commodore both touched on this. Good like Sutter - in their opinion - knew where the line was and didn't cross it.

Babcock and Peters are so far over the line, they can't even see the line. The line is a dot to them.

[JTech780]

Ward in the interim. I would also bring Conroy down behind the bench for the rest of the season. Conroy Being around the team on a day to day basis would help the management team find out what issues the core has.

In the summer I would look at Rikard Gronberg, Lane Lambert, Mike Vellucci or Nate Leaman.

I doubt Barry Trotz had Calgary on his radar or really any high profile coach since Brent Sutter came aboard.

The only coaches to win Stanley cups with multiple teams:

• Dick Irvin ('32 Leafs, '44, '46, '53 Canadiens)
• Tommy Gorman ('34 Hawks, '35 Maroons)
• Scotty Bowman ('73 Canadiens, '76-'79 Canadiens, '92 Penguins, '97-'98 Wings, '02 Wings)

Can we stop chasing has-beens already? Get some new blood, some no name who goes fishing with old Walt, I don't care. I am sick of hearing about trying to score a coach on their way out / pretty much retired.

I think Wayne Gretzky was looking to get back into coaching.
