At least Crawford had the decency to say it, explicitly.<br /><br />Trust me, being a part of the media, much worse is said about this organization.<br /><br />It's science. It's reality. It's a BIG ball of suck. They are what they are (OK, end of cliche`-fest)...<br /><br />Let's recap (since the lone playoff year):<br /><br />- 4th worst record<br />- 8th worst record (were it not for the illusion of the 14-6-0 start, this would have been much worse<br />- Worst record<br /><br />Trust me, there's a bigger running joke among personnel types - GMs, scouts - that this GM has kept his job.<br /><br />So, don't be mad at Marc Crawford, don't be mad at JC7 - be mad at MP (El Presidente`, AKA the CPA who makes personnel decisions via Google) and SH (the GM who orchestrated the departure of the reigning Jack Adams award winner and brought in a head coach and assistants with ZERO NHL coaching experience).<br /><br />But Gallos is 'bang on' in directing this towards the players - the problem is, those 'check collectors' (yes myopians, that's their nickname throughout the league - again, it won't be said, publicly, but it's true) don't care - sadly.Hitch Rulesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-45528571489686597342012-07-26T14:42:04.018-04:002012-07-26T14:42:04.018-04:00I'm just glad that he won't be around the ...I'm just glad that he won't be around the NHL for a while.

If you will permit a quote from the Apostle Paul in the NT - "I may be knocked down but I am not knocked out" We may not get there as soon as we want - but just because we were 30th last year doesn't mean we are predestined to ALWAYS occupy that position. Maybe I am dreaming but dreams can come true. Win or lose I will be at Nationwide and I will be proud of those guys on the ice.

Should we root for him to fail badly so he never gets another NHL gig, or succeed immensely so that he comes back and CBJ fans can taunt him mercilessly...?<br /><br />http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/02/marc-crawford-agrees-to-coach-a-team-in-switzerland/@mjr_pnltnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-63558279814173222282012-07-25T23:51:16.277-04:002012-07-25T23:51:16.277-04:00If m. crawford were half the coach he thinks he is...If m. crawford were half the coach he thinks he is, he'd be behind an N H L bench, not a desk. With all the coaching vacancies that have occured, his name doesn't come up that often. JUST ANOTHER TALKING HEAD. I, for one, believe this group is finally on a path to becomming a competent, passionate, energetic TEAM. If they don't win every night, they will, at least, make the fans proud of the effort given. THAT is a good start. There are STILL PIECES MISSING, but there is only so much that can be fixed at one time. This didn't get messed up in one season, and it certainly won't get fixed in one season. But, at some point, there must be a starting point. My hope is, those old t-shirts(it starts tonight) maybe get revised. IT STARTS NOW.
