GDT: Canada vs Russia QF 5:30PM (7:30 EST)

[Puppet Guy]

for once I'm glad to be working the evening shift tonight - the floor will be empty and I won't miss the second period in transit.

I'm going back to 1987 for this score: 6-5 Canada.

Are you sure about that?

from the Hurricanes website (although it looks like they only update it every few months):

Hockey Operations


Rich Preston
General Manager & Head Coach
Hurricanes GM Rich Preston began his tenure with the club in the summer of 2009 after five years with the Calgary Flames as an Assistant Coach after joining the organization on June 26, 2003. The Regina, SK native was previously with the Flames, along with Head Coach Brian Sutter from 1997-2000 and helped the Flames increase point totals in each of those seasons. With the San Jose Sharks (2000-02) as an Assistant Coach under Head Coach Darryl Sutter, Preston also saw his team improve its point totals each year. Prior to coaching with Calgary and San Jose, Preston spent two seasons (1995-1997) as Head Coach of his hometown Regina Pats of the WHL. During this period the Pats compiled a 79-60-5 record. With 42 wins registered in the 1996-97 season, the Pats managed their first 40 win season in 11 years and also established a new team record 27 home game undefeated streak. Preston began his coaching career with the Chicago Blackhawks during the 1991-92 campaign and spent four seasons with the team. He worked as an Assistant Coach to Mike Keenan during the 91-92 season and to Darryl Sutter from 1992-95. Preston played in eight NHL seasons from 1979-87 with the Chicago Blackhawks and New Jersey Devils as well as five seasons in the World Hockey Association with the Houston Aeros and Winnipeg Jets. In 13 profesional seasons he recorded 576 points including 260 goals in 963 career games, winning the WHA Championship with Houston in 1975 and with Winnipeg in 1979. He was named playoff MVP in 1979 with the Jets. Preston and his wife Laura have three boys, Troy, Lucas and Thomas.

Preston is the head coach for lethbridge. I listen to the hitmen games on 960 and I've heard his name numerous times when they play the hurricanes.

This proves nothing. He's coaching with the River rats. Show me some proof that he's with the Hurricanes.
This is a moon impersonation. You have been warned!

the Hurricanes are sucking pond water with a 17-39-4-3 record, for second worst in the WHL. That's got Preston's fingerprints all over it!

Not sure if this is a joke I missed, but Albany doesn't mention him anywhere on their site and it appears to be regularly updated.

As of November 5th, he was still with Lethbridge according to this blog:

This proves nothing. It's just some writing on a website. I seen him with the River Rats, and just because a whole bunch of other people seem to think differently it isn't going to convince me that he is.
Okay, I'll stop it now...
