    Milbury, are you serious? :eek: If I were the Bruin players, I'd run away real fast. I thought Keenan was bad for Calgary, now I think Milbury coming back to the NHL and coaching anywhere is even worse.

    Are there NO good, younger coaching candidates anywhere? Keenan, Milbury (if it happens). Who is next, Scott Bowman?

    Veteran Bruins management types--Harry Sinden, for example--loves Milbury. I think Milbury is a halfway decent coach if he has some talent around him.

    Talent can make any coach look good. Just waiting for some to give Don Hay another shot.

    Millbury's no slouch as a coach, and him coming back to Boston to coach is instant name/face recognition for the fan base. He's also a big change from Dave Lewis-Bot, who never seemed to show emotion. That works in some places, on some teams, but not in Boston with a team that has frustrated for a decade and a half.

    I think Milbury's emotion will be a good thing for the Bruins. Dave Lewis looked like he was stuffed and mounted behind the Bruins' bench last season. He never got mad, even when they skated with their heads up their asses.

    This has me wondering what other changes are in store for the Sens. Do they break up the core now? or make one final push before they all hit free agency.

    Wow ... nice people each of the Stanley Cup finalists work around.

    Ottawa pushes out its GM after finally showing some guts and getting to the finals. Anaheim gets really generous and offers its coach a one-year extension.

    I'm not suggesting any DiPietro-like stupidity with 15-year contracts, but apparently rewarding those who do well is dead in the league.

    It's a year-to-year league. That's the cost of parity.

    Understood, Mert. But if fans wonder why the product isn't consistently as good as it can be ...

    (and easy on that last one, gang ... there aren't much bigger puckheads in my corner of the world ... )

    One year Kevin Lowe is hailed as a god among men in Edmonton, then after one bad season half the populace is looking for his head.

    In fairness, though, Bryan Murray did more to build the Stanley Cup champions than he did his current team.

    Toe Blake?
