RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 Who? This is just getting ludicrous. I actually feel bad for Avs fans at this point.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glubki 17 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 That is a strange hire... Sacco has two years of experience as a head coach in the minors. They must have really like how the Monsters progressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 "The American Hockey League has proven to be a valuable training ground for NHL head coaches and we're confident that Joe's experience at that level will be vital to his success with our organization at the NHL level," said Avalanche General Manager Greg Sherman.

Trapt1307 81 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 I briefly remember Sacco playing for the Ducks in the late 90's. I don't think he was anything special, I just remember the name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
