Whatever.  Pat Quinn's fine, too.  The coach is not the problem, but if it keeps Forsberg happy, I don't care.

look at the bums that have won stanley cups

john toterella
bob hartley
larry robinson
marc crawford
terry crisp

then you have great teams that have won with different coaches

hell the devils won three cups with three different coaches...larry robinson was such a great coach he got fired for incompetency the year after he won the stanley cup...then was replaced by pat burns who did what?....yep won a cup

penguins two cups with two different coaches
colorado two cups two different coaches
calgary won a cup made another with two different coaches
edmonton five cups with two different coaches

what do the teams above have in  common if not the same coach...how about great players

players are EVERYTHING in hockey

I'd hardly call any of those coaches bums, but there you go over-exaggerating to get your point across. Players are the ones ultimately responsible for their teams play in any sport, a coach cannot go onto the field and play, so players are EVERYTHING in EVERY sport, not just hockey.

[ice grillin you]

so players are EVERYTHING in EVERY sport, not just hockey

disagree

game planning is ultra important in football...as is play calling and clock managment

in baseball it doesnt even need to be said how important a manager is

basketball is far below those two but still above hockey



hockey isnt even on the map

I heard Clarkie is not happy with Hitch and is looking at Pat Quinn to replace hitch. 

There'd be no point to that.  Quinn is even more of Clarke's style than Hitch is....

It may be slightly less important but don't act like you can just put any boob behind the bench and be successful. The Cowboys were able to win 2 SBs with Johnson then turn around and win one with Switzer. What has Pat Riley done since leaving the Lakers? Your theory can work with any sport.

[The BIGSTUD]

If you have to choose between Hitch and Forsberg, you choose Forsberg easily. Forsberg can and will be re-signed and we could always get Pat Quinn.

I don't want Pat Quinn, he's never won shtein. I'd rather take a chance on a young guy with a fresh philosophy than go with some recycled has been. I don't want to chose between Hitch and Forsberg, if this story is indeed true than they need to settle their differences for the better of the team.

i don't like hearing that Forsberg thinks Hitch is hurting the progress of the young guys

We were all waiting with baited breath to see if you liked hearing it or not.  Now, I'm sad.

[Wingspan]

is forsberg a whiney bitch like players from other teams are whiney bitches when they speak out?

[SunMo]

i don't think so, because he didn't do it publicly.

what else is new?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

is forsberg a whiney bitch like players from other teams are whiney bitches when they speak out?

Not in this case, because he might be right.

[SD_Eagle5]

I watched his post game interview lastnight, he was very careful as to what he said to not put the blame on any one area. That's why I'm not entirely buying this rumor (yet).
