Hold on there champion, lol.... you are far from a top 5 team this year, next or likely for several years to come. Hartley would be a good choice however.

that's OK Igna69xxx... I follow the Leafs as well so I can handle the losing + frustration.
Hartley would be fun after the bad stretch of coaches MTL has had to endure.

he said no way when someone said he might be interested

did you see how excited he was behind the bench when the devils scored to eliminate the Rangers?
he was plenty happy thats for sure.
Looks Like a Very Sad Day for Hockey
Apparently the great Nick Lidstrom will be announcing his retirement tomorrow morning - a truly monumental loss for all true hockey fans and a sad sad day for the sport.
It's quite obvious that we will be losing the second best defenseman who ever played the game.

I agree he was only behind the great bobby orr as far as greatness among blueliners. Would not suprise me now to see Ryan Suter a wing next season if the Preds cannot reach a new contract agreement with him. His price tag will be much bigger than his 3.5 mil cap hit that just ran out. The wings will have another 6.2 million coming off the books with Lidstrom retiring.
Robbie isn't interested in being a head coach anywhere, let alone in Mtl. He didn't like being a head coach in the past. He prefers maintaining a low profile.
Bob Hartley confirmed as new Flames head coach
Bob Hartley couldn't wait any longer for Habs GM Marc Bergevin to make up his mind. With the offer still on the table, he jumped at the chance to once again be an NHL head coach and joined the Calgary Flames.
The Calgary Flames have found their new bench boss. He is former Colorado Avalanche coach Bob Hartley, who joins the Flames following a championship season with ZSC Lions of the Swiss League.
“Bob Hartley is a winner! Bob has won at every level he has coached, from the QMJHL to the AHL to the NHL to Switzerland, and we are confident he is going to continue his winning ways in Calgary,” said Flames General Manager Jay Feaster. “He is a tireless worker, an outstanding motivator, a great bench boss and game strategist; and a teacher at heart. Moreover, he is a great person as well. We look forward to Bob and his wife Micheline joining the Flames family, and to Bob taking our hockey club to the next level.”
Hartley, a native of Hawkesbury, Ontario, brings a wealth of experience and winning to the Flames having coached the Avalanche for five seasons, during which they won the 2001 Stanley Cup. He also coached the Atlanta Thrashers for parts of five seasons. In addition to his most recent Swiss League title, he led the Hershey Bears to the 1997 Calder Cup and also has Junior A and Major Junior championship rings among his accomplishments.

can't believe Bob signed with the Flames!?!?! WTF... granted they have a proven GM with a better agenda but their farm is dry and the best they can hope for is to sign younger FAs this off season because that team is old.
Is their farm team as dry as Montreal's?
Hartley probably has more job security in Calgary as opposed to if he would have signed with the habs. He also has a great relationship with Jay Feaster.
Roberto Luongo rumored to have been spotted at a downtown Toronto hotel today from a somewhat reliable source. He later reported that Luongo met with the Leafs head physician.... Now i am not a big fan of that contract but having a top 5-10 NHL goalie like Luongo takes the Leafs from outside looking in to bona fide playoff team overnight. Make the trade Burke as long as Gillis is not asking too much.

Leafs Sign Marlies Head Coach, Eakins, To New 3 Yr Deal
Great job to retain one of the best young coaches in the game. He is sure to get offers after next season, when he is free to leave the Marlies in search of a NHL head coaching job. Nice signing Burke, the offseason has started with a bang!

I was told that's it's down to two: Marc Crawford & Michel Therrien. I heard tonight that the delay in naming a coach might show that Crawford currently has a slight edge. One reason i heard was that they're presently giving him a refresher crash-language course in order to get him back to par with the french language, a language he likely hasn't spoken since his days in Quebec City 20+ years ago.
Marc Bergevin better get his act together & name a coach soon or else angry habs fans will take to the streets & join the protests in an attempt to force Bergie into naming his coach.
Here's also hoping that Bergevin has since improved on his awful hairstyle for the imminent media conference where he'll introduce his new head coach.

That's right !
Same old sh!t disturbing stuff from TO's fans who just whimp when their team doesn't make the playoffs !
We in Mtrl, don't wait to get f*ck in the a.. like you guys seem to like in Ontario.. then just cry like little babies !
We want sweat and blood if someone tries to make us look like the worst hockey team ever in the history of hockey !
One year is enough.
Not 40+ years for Christ sake !
Now back to the playoffs... Can' wait to see tomorrow's game !
can you not turn this into the free for all.. your post does not even make sense so at least take it to the correct thread please, thanks.
I totally agree with you. Our buddy "Gentle" (isn't his nickname hillarious? lol) has to take better control of his emotions & chill out. His nonsensical posts in ALL of the threads on Merb aren't doing our buddy any favors. Obviously someone with serious issues, if you ask me.
Let's keep it clean! :thumb:
LOL! Thanks for the inside information
This was widely reported in a number of media sources :lol:Similar threads
