SteenIsThaFuture Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I don't blame him, its like a burning ship and the rats are jumping overboard.

Kubby31 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I don't know he was still getting paid for not doing anything, why not wait until you're fired And what is it 5 or 8 million $$$ that whoever ends up taking control of this team,will have to honor the contract that is withstanding to Wayne.

cooch-a-mania Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 good move on his part. He will land on his feet somewhere. and do very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracie12 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Must have killed him. A winner at every level. Im sure this was a real shock to his system, but I think he made the right decision. It will be interesting to see how he does elsewhere. I know he's been given a pretty crap team most of the time - with a revolving door of players, no less, but I suspect a system coach like a Lemaire, Martin or similar might have been able to make them competitive at least.

Kubby31 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Agreed...It's a disgrace what he has had to endure with this situation.....do not blame him one bit for departing. Not a great time here for #99. He will land on his feet somewhere. and do very well. No question at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dintrox12 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Well he didn't show up for training camp so I guess that this is his official announcement. I wouldn't pay Bowman 8.5 M/year or even the ghost of Toe Blake. He has said he wants to stay in Phoenix for family reasons but I wouldn't doubt a return to coaching with a more reasonable salary.

Kubby31 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Kings Interested In Gretzky... If Wayne Gretzky wants to return to the National Hockey League in some capacity, count the Los Angeles Kings as one of the teams interested in The Great One. Kings president and general manager Dean Lombardi expressed his interest in Gretzky in an interview with the Fan 590 radio station in Toronto. Lombardi, who said he spoke briefly to Gretzky, didn't specify the role that he had in mind for the NHL's career-leading scorer. "I'd like to bring (Gretzky) back in some capacity now that he's done there," Lombardi told the Fan 590. "I think when you talk about kids learning to win, I think it would be great if we could bring him back to where he almost brought this place to the promised land." Gretzky resigned from his post as the head coach of the Phoenix Coyotes last week, after being absent from the club during training camp, while the fate of the club sits in bankruptcy court.

Larry-Launstein-Jr Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Wouldn't you want to leave a bankrupt team? Too bad the players can't. This franchise should have never left Winnipeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
