Crashnburnluder 385 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 I want Vancouvers old Defensive Coach. Ryan Walter, he also ran their PP. Only reason I want him is because I'm buddies with his son. Free Tickets! Crash 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 I'm not a Hitchcock fan at all. I'd rather have Cheli. I say they hire a temp until Lids retires (years from now) and then give it to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 If you go to the Hottest Wings thread, starting around page 923 and on to about 925 (I think) there are some pics of Cheli practicing with the Wings during the Phoenix series and he is wearing Coach Clothes. Just sayin'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 Step 1: Fire McCrimmon Step 2: Hire/Promote new defensive coach Step 3: sign Ehrhoff/Bieksa Step 4: Howard plays like he did in playoffs all season... Step 5: Win Jennings for least amount of goals conceded.. I'd take Erhoff over Bieksa. Bieksa makes too many tunovers and would crumble under the wrath of LGW. He often looks like Sammy when he gets the puck; unsure of what to do with it, then panics and turns it over. And he's kind of a dick, he doesn't have the class to wear the red sweater. 1 sleepwalker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 I know I said I was out of here until the draft, but this was too big to ignore.... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Long overdue in my mind, so far, this is the perfect beginning to the off-season! 1 edicius reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 And he's kind of a dick, he doesn't have the class to wear the red sweater. Thought so until he came out on the diving stuff. I think he would in fact be the perfect fit. He has been absolutely stellar lately and if he was with Kronner??? Psshhh, yes please. 2 GoWings1905 and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 I would LOVE Bieksa with the Wings Lidstrom-Bieksa Kronwall-Rafalski Kindl-Stuart I enjoy these lines thoroughly. I would almost think Kronner moves up to first pairing to limit Lids' minutes a tad and have Kron with Bieker. Yep, its hockey, I have to give nicknames almost immediately.

Lids will never be a coach, he's even gone on record of stating that it's not something that interests him after playing... he's a front office type if anything...

syntax 359 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 This is good news. I'd be surprised if Hitchcock took anything but a head coach position, though I would not be averse to him with Babs. Chelios would be a nice look, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
