DAMN!!! That's the first I heard of this. (xoutpost.com: Your Breaking News Leader!)

It was a popular rumour that Crawford was getting the axe. At 7 years he's pretty much reached his shelf life as a coach. Funny, I think Pat Quinn had been in TO for 7 years. So which coaches are available? Pat Quinn, Marc Crawford, Andy Murray, who else?

Thanks for starting this thread too.

I believe that is it fo now, but I am sure the list will grow in the near future. I see Edmonton is giving Detroit a tough time; now that would be a huge upset if the wings tank in the first round!

Looks like the Oiler and Habs are on their way to upsets. Could be interesting.

I'm glad Calgary finally played a good game last night. I can't believe the number of penalties being called. At least IMO the calls were mostly consistent.

Easy Man, there is a lot of hockey left to be played. Proof will be game four.

Wasn't Pattie Q. ever associated with the Canuck's franchise in the past?

Of course, he was their coach in the '94 finals when the Rangers beat them in 7.

names already being rumoured [ for replacement] are Manitoba Moose head coach and former Montreal Canadiens coach Alain Vigneault and former Canucks and Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Pat Quinn.

Detroit Red Wings scout David Lewis and Paul Maurice, head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs' AHL affiliate, are also candidates.

Wouldn't it be funny if Pat Quinn returned to Vancouver and Marc Crawford was hired by the Leafs. The ol' switcheroo. Then again, maybe the Canucks are thinking about someone already within their coaching staff. They have some good guys as associate coaches now.

www.TSN.CA is the best source for nhl info on the web, quinn got canned last friday (4/21) the same day that Pittsburgh canned James Patrick.

Don't be surprised to see at least 1 of them head out to LI to take over for Milbury and or/their interim coach.
