Yeah kinda like black Monday in the NFL
Yes.
Teams finished the regular season and aren’t in the playoffs so they’re officially in off-season mode.
When you’re unhappy with your coaching / FO, you can them immediately so you can start building towards next year.
Was Jarmo Kekalainen fired? That article only talks about the coach.
Umm. International.
Sutter today?
Black Monday but make it Saturday
Why fire the coach who helped guaruntee the best chances at 1OA?
I mean I understand the pens, but Anaheim and CBJ have been in tankmode all season.
