will the NHL ever learn? hes not a great coach, period. He might be okay as an assistant although in all fairness when we has an assistant and was successful, he coached under the greatest coach in NHL history.

So now the Kingies have Cloutier, Labarbera, and Aubin. Their site says that they have an additional 4 prospects. Guess they won't be short in goal once Cloutier suffers his annual injury.

Clouts doesn't even need to get hurt, Labarbera should be the starter after about a month or so.

It's not really fair to judge Lewis by what he did with the Wings. I hated the way he coached our team, but I bet he understands hockey better than Babcock. And he must've learned something from working with Scotty Bowman all those years.

I really don't know what kind of coach he was in Boston, but their failure can't really be blamed on him either. They had a pretty crappy team there.

I think he deserves another chance.

Honestly I didn't think that Lewis did all that bad of a job with the Wings. They did win the president's trophy and they also made it to the second round of the playoffs.

Glad to hear he's getting another chance with the Kings.
